"Trip to Gammy and Pop-Pop's House"

How did he know to put his hands on the steering wheel and actually turn it??  Scary! 

Riding the "bucking bronco" with Daddy at Chuck E' Cheese's! 

Riding "Bob the Builder" with Mommy 

He loved riding this ride :)   It was supposed to take your picture, but it didn't...., so I did! 

Waiting for Daddy to put the token in the "Barney" ride 

He was having such a good time!  My son is old enough to ride this thing...., really? 

Experimenting with the sippy cup. He doesn't know how to drink out of it yet, but he definitely knows how to chew it. 

And...., another chew toy.  Teething maybe??

Surfing with Daddy  

Hanging out with Gammy at the pool

We just returned from spending several days with Jay's family.  We had a wonderful time visiting family, going to the beach, swimming, and celebrating our nephew's 6th birthday at Chuck E' Cheese's!  Elijah Brooks amazed me yet again with how well he traveled and adapted to a new environment.  He woke up several times the 1st night we were there (he was in his pack n' play in the closet), just trying to figure out where he was..., but then the other nights he was back to sleeping 10-12 hours a night.  I was so thankful that he did so well and didn't seem to revert back.  Hopefully we won't have to "re-train" him now that we are home (we have only been home a few hours).   He also did great being flexible with his naps.  He had to take several of his naps in the car, but did great with them and didn't fight it.  By him being flexible and happy, it helped me and Jay get to enjoy spending time with family.  He did some new things while we were there that were really exciting to us.  He did his 1st "army crawl"!   I look for him to be crawling maybe in another month or so.  He also has just started reaching out for us when he is in someone's arms.  He still goes to whoever wants to hold him and never fusses about it, but we noticed that when we would put our arms out to hold him, he is started to put his arms out too!  This is such a wonderful and fun age!!   He continues to amaze us with his happy and contented disposition.  I can only pray that this temperament will remain as he grows. 

Thank you Gammy and Pop-Pop for letting us come visit you this week! We had a great time!
