I was better at taking pictures this week, as you will see :) A lot of our activities involved being outside, and Eli turned 23 months (thus the post title)! ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD!!! Amazing! First some moments to remember from the week:
1) Eli woke up from his nap on Monday with a 100 degree fever that only last about 4 hours....just a little bug thankfully!
2) Eli has pretty well mastered his 4 wood puzzles he got from Aunt Holly & Uncle Chris. We can lay out the pieces and he can put them all back where they belong.
3) Eli pointed to my eyes during a diaper change and said "blue!". Took me a minute to realize he has noticed my eyes are blue (blue/green, but close enough). I then talked to him about how his and daddy's eyes are brown.
4) Eli found it hilarious this week when he heard my stomach growling
5) New phrases:
"I found it!"
"Bless you, mommy"
"Bees eating it!" (When watching bees in the flowers...an outside favorite activity)
"Big hug"
"Fami hug" (family hug; Eric started this and it involves a big family hug that Eli now asks for)
6) Eli continues to be a little parrot and will mimick us and then most of the time appropriately use the phrase again later.
During the week, we do a variety of activities....
....we play with stickers

....we play with stickers
....draw with chalk
....blow bubbles
....draw circles
....listen for trains (Eli learned from Yo Gabba Gabba to say "listen!" and hold his hand up to his ear....too cute)
....and swing from tables!
We attended the nature park again this week for story time and this time I brought my camera!
Looking at the fish
....and the turtle
....and rocking in the "big chair"
....exploring flowers
....and walking nature trails
....checking out the creek
....and the geese
....picking up sticks and crossing bridges!
We did craft time this week and made a coil snake and a snake out of shapes:
Saturday we visited Grandma & Grandpa Clarkson to see their newly renovated kitchen. It looks amazing!:
We also took a dip in the pool:
And wrapped up in a towel to dry off:
Eli loved the big wheel!:
Snacks in Grandpa's chair:
This week we have a few activities planned: a playdate, splash n play, and back to the nature park for 2 hours of dragonfly activities! Have a great week everyone!

You forgot about the rain video that Eli loves so much Amy! :)
Love to hear about all the stuff he's picking up so quickly - loved the hand to the ear.
I love their kitchen! Seriously - ask Cherry where they got the cabinets! I love that they have a variance of color in them.
love love love love
just thought my first comment didn't use the word "love" enough :)
