Walker, silly tongue & puppy!

This week we spent a lot of time helping Grandma Bidney prepare for her move to Kansas City. We furniture shopped (& bought ;) on Sunday, bought linens & such on Monday, closed on her condo on Tuesday, and she went back to Des Moines on Thursday to finish packing up to move on Saturday!! She moved Saturday and we successfully packed the U-Haul (my sisters & their spouses, I should say), unpacked & even had time to visit our cousin Emily & her hubby Josh & daughter, Mallory. While at Emily's, she brought out Mallory's walker so we could see if Eli would enjoy it. Well, it turned out to be the highlight of the evening. As you'll see in the video below, Eli couldn't quite tell the difference from his jumperoo & the walker!! We have the walker at home now & plan to use it so he can actually learn to move his feet instead of jump!!!

Today, Eli just started to explore the use of his tongue! He was sitting with Grandma Clarkson and just started sticking his tongue out and licking all around his lips. It was too funny!! He just surprises us all the time with new things he learns & tries! Here's a pic and video (sorry it's sideways, I forgot that I can't turn it sideways):

I decided to buy a little bath tub that a mommy at breastfeeding group bought for her little girl. It's too cute because it quacks when you squeeze it's beak:




Aunt Sarah & Aunt Stephanie brought their dog, Dylan, to visit this weekend. Eli found his licking to be quite funny:
