Our Week - Eli Turns 8 months

This week Eli turned 8 months old! He is scooting around the house, clapping, laughing, and being a kook. This picture was taken a couple of days before he turned 8 months. Daniel has started letting him take baths without the baby seat. He LOVES to splash in the water (and has for several months), so giving him a bath is quite the adventure. As Daniel sees it less water means less mess.

 

Kyla had fun at girl scouts and made this cute flower arrangement. Mormor wanted us to take a picture of and send it to her.

 

This is actually the only picture that we took of Eli on his 8 month birthday. He and Myka got sick this week and he was quite miserable. We had actually forgot that it was his 8 month day and Daniel was just taking a picture of him because he was so cute being miserable. As soon as Eli saw the camera he perked right up, sat up, and gave us a huge smile. So much for trying to get the miserable, cuddly boy caught on camera; He is such a HAM.

 

Saturday was a super beautiful fall day. We spent the whole day outside trying to conquer the brambles. Kyla was a great help and enjoyed pulling the Jerusalem Artichoke. She was especially proud of this 8 ft long one.

 

We kept the guinea pigs out most of the day and the girls played with them in the leaf pile. The piggies really enjoyed burrowing in. Then we made a house for them, with rooms and hallways. All the piggies wanted to do was burrow in the leaves. Luckily we didn't loose either of them!

 

We are so enjoying the great Michigan fall weather, still no snow!
