Little Slugger & Goofy Grins!

Today was a HOT one. With no A/C in the house, Elijah and I spent the morning in little clothing just hanging out in front of the fans in our living room and playing. I finally decided that we needed to get out-- and go to somewhere with air conditioning! :) So, to the mall we went! I didn't intend on spending money... but I couldn't get out without buying something! We did enjoy walking around the mall and Eli's favorite part was visiting the pet store- twice! He LOVES the puppies. He pats the glass and squeals when they jump and bark. I let him watch them for a while and he practices saying "dag dah" (thats what dog is sounding like today- ha!) He also enjoyed his first baby ice cream cone. He devoured it in no time and wanted more!

I wouldn't let him hold it, since we still had stores to go to and I didn't want him to be a complete mess. But he was loving it and kept repeating "ummmm!" which is what he says when he eats and he likes it! YUM! :-)

This was Eli's favorite puppy today.

They sat and stared at each other for a while.

It was SUCH a cute little collie. I could have walked out with him! This kid NEEDS a dog of his own someday soon! :)

Elijah just looked too cute in his Little Slugger baseball outfit today that I had to snap some pictures tonight. He's growing too fast and I don't want to miss all these fun stages. Right now...I'm loving his 4 tooth silly smile. He's got some big teeth and I just love them to pieces in all the pictures of his big goofy grins. Tonight Eli and Daddy were having fun playing on the bed-- one of E's favorite things to do actually. He loves rolling around, bouncing, and playing on the bed with us before bath time. It's become almost a nightly tradition for a little family. (Yes- we find the weirdest things to do for fun as a family!)
