Learning Elijah

Elijah has several US states puzzles, and he has been working on learning the states. Yesterday, Kim informed me of his progress. So far this is what he says as he is putting the puzzle pieces back in their places:

"Texas, finger, boot, guitar..."

finger is Florida, I think, and Louisiana is boot, and Alaska is guitar. How funny is that?!

Mongolian Bug Food!



So we went to this Mongolian Buffet resturaunt today, and they serve crayfish. I brought some to our table, and Elijah started to give me this speech about how yucky they were and how bugs are not for eating, and he was very distressed, well, initially. Then, suddenly he wanted to hold them, so we decided to take the picture of him conquering his apparent disgust...haha! After a few minutes he was talking to them and trying to get them to walk around like Uncle Dan's hermit crabs.



That's my boy!!

New Home Sweet Home

Well, we are all moved in to our new townhome, and we would like to give a HUGE thank you to the Posch's and Ford's for helping us move. We absolutely could not have done it without them!! We got most of the moving done late Friday night and earlier on Saturday, and then BONUS, the family stayed Sunday to help us clean the old joint. So again...many, many thank yous!

We spent the week settling in and we have only a few more boxes to unpack, so we are doing pretty good from that standpoint, but what is really cool is that Elijah likes the new place. He likes that we now have two floors to live on, so he gets to travel up and down the stairs. He's already rolled a few times, but thankfully, the stairs are well carpeted and Elijah just gets right back up.

Well, it's been a long week, but hopefully we'll get to post again soon. Happy week having!
