Tiny Tops

What does it mean when your 21-month-old son can fit your glasses?

 Well, first it means he's incredibly adorable. It also means I might have a small head. Eli's head is just smaller than average for his age. So what's that saying about my head?

Eli snatched these off my desk and ran away before I could grab him. He ran over to Mike while trying to put them on his head, so, naturally, Mike helped him. I hope he never needs glasses, but if he does he'll sure be adorable in them.

Thanksgiving and Throw up

We went up to Chino Valley for Thanksgiving. I always love going to my parent's house, especially when a lot of family is around. And there was plenty of family. Eli got to play with tons of cousins and eat tons of food, and unfortunately we did not take tons of pictures. We didn't take any pictures...opps! But the day was wonderful, the food was delicious, and the family is always fun to be around. Eli even got to see a bunch of animals--that's the beauty of where my parents live. We went with some of his cousins to a neighbor's house who had a bunch of kids...er...baby goats. They were adorable and all the kids (baby humans) loved playing with the kids (baby goats). There were some mommy goats there too, and they all just wanted some attention. It was a fun-filled day.

The only real surprise of the day was finding out that Eli gets carsick. Oh yeah. On the drive up, just as we were coming out of the windy Black Canyon, Eli turned into Mt. St. Helens, and it was not pretty. Thankfully I had some extra clothes, and he was such a trooper through it all. And to be even more grateful (it was Thanksgiving after all) he didn't throw up on the way home! Yay!

Halloween

I know it's December and I'm a bit behind, but here's our Halloween update. I'm not a big Halloween person--it's just not a holiday I get all excited about. This means I don't really care about dressing up and don't want to spend a lot of money on Eli when he doesn't know what's going on. Okay, maybe I'm a bit of a Scrooge here, but that's a different holiday.

Anyway, we did still celebrate and Eli did get to dress up. We had this Chargers jersey for him, and I just added a little eye black (mascara) under his eyes. Give him a football to play with and viola! we have a football player. He was actually pretty darn cute. We went to our ward Trunk-or-Treat party on Saturday night. Eli had a blast running around with his cousins, but he wasn't so sure about all these adults that wanted to talk to him and give him things. Once we got home and he discovered it was candy he was elated!

On Halloween we just stayed home and passed out candy. Eli had fun seeing the kids come over, and he especially loved when people had dogs too.
