Eli's 1st week events

Kai has been SUPER sweet with Eli. He gets down face-to-face to talk or sing to him. He asks to hold him and is very gentle and even asks if they can sleep together! Here's Kai holding Eli while he watches Thomas the Train (you can see his attention is somewhat diverted) and Eli laying with Kai in his bed. Eli and Kai seem to have alot of similar expressions. This is Eli's "old man" face. This is Papa Don (Derrick's dad) and the whole crew in their PJ's. Papa and MooMoo have been a great help this last week.....grabbing us food, babysitting, and even last minute sleepovers! Thanks guys! We had our first family outing on Saturday up to Castle Rock for a birthday party in the park. It was nice to get out but stressful at the same time. The getting ready to leave was the most stressful. Eli pooped and then pee'd all over himself twice while we were trying to get out the door. He's already known for shooting pee randomly....we have to be on-guard at all times! We ended up being 1 hr. late to the party, but nevertheless, we did make it! Here's Kai whacking the pinata! He would take a swing and then come announce to us "it didn't bust open?" He also found this little spider jungle gym and loved sitting in the middle of the web! Derrick is back to work. I felt a little anxious about being on my own with the kids already so I lined up a few guests to ease the transition somewhat. My aunt from Parker (now known as "BonBon") came down to help entertain Kai and Addie on Monday. They played outside making sand castles galore and then took a little hike around camp. Here's them after their hour trek....walking sticks in hand! Thanks Boz! Addie seems like a "monster" now in comparison to Eli's size! Derrick and I are sure she's gained weight!! LOL So here's a cute one of her packin' on the pounds with her watermelon! Here's Eli's 1 week mark: he was scooting all over this blanket by moving his little feet! My good friends from high school, Sarah and Laura, visited this week as well! They were thoroughly entertained by Kai and brought us an amazing brunch! It was fun to catch up. Thanks girls. This video is for the family...not particularly exciting but captures Eli's meloncholy moment!
