the boy, a book, and a bum lip

Here are some of our happenings from the past few days.
We've spent some time outside playing and reading while daddy works in the garden. Its beautiful in the shade, even on a very warm day. Eli loves to look around at everything he sees outside and has a strange fascination with pulling up pieces of grass and making a pile on the blanket. What can i say, i love it!
Last night at church eli got a bum lip. His hand slipped, and his mouth hit the edge of the table at dinner. This was the best picture i could get of it this morning because he kept curling his lip up, and then there's nothing to see at all! It's red and swollen right in the middle of his top lip. He cried for a few minutes when it happened, but the magic of mommy and the distraction of toys made everything okay!

Eli's also cutting a top eye tooth (which i could not get a picture of). It's already broken the skin some b/c he likes to clang his bottom two teeth against it. The boy has also started to "throw" toys and fling himself over in an attempt to retrieve them. Unfortunately that's as far as he gets before fussing for mommy.
There you have it- our life right now! Blessed beyond measure!!

  1. Man! He is so big! I'm so sorry he got a bum lip. :( I love to see the pictures where he is super focused on things. It makes me smile! He sure does get teeth fast. Maybe we can Skype soon! I'll come soon - it's been too long....

  2. Poor boy. Mommy magic is wonderful! Sad we won't see you before leaving for WA. Maybe we can meet up though when we've moved to GA. I can't believe how fast our children are growing! It's amazing to watch them learn and try new things.
