Hangin’ Around

Eli has a little buddy named Harrison.  Actually, these two are best buds.  They met at storytime and were immediate friends.  Funny how that happens with babies the same as it does with adults.  Luckily his Mom, Whitney, and I have become good friends as well.  Like myself, Whitney was a teacher before staying home with Harrison.  Harrison and Eli were only born three weeks apart which is great because they are reaching their big milestones together.  Eli and Harrison hang out on a weekly basis and have recently joined Gymboree.  They now hang out at the “gym” working on their strength, balance, and definitely their agility (throwing balls happens to be one of their favorite activities).  Harrison introduced Eli to the swing at the park and it is now one of Eli’s favorite outdoor activities.  He loves it so much that we have added a swing to our front porch! 

Here are the boys enjoying life together!

We go to the park to play and all they want to do is mess with their strollers and sippy cups!

This is Eli’s first time on the swing at the park.  The smile is priceless!!

Now we get to swing everyday instead of driving to the park all the time.

Gymboree is so much fun!  Harrison is getting really good at standing alone.  Eli loves playing with the musical instruments.  If only I could get Eli to participate when it’s whole group time.  He is totally uninterested in music.  He would rather chase after the same ball for an hour than play in the group and sing with the teacher.

The boys had so much playing in the pumpkin patch.  They were literally playing in the vines laughing and exploring all the textures.  It was too warm to stay in their Halloween costumes for too long but boy were they cute! 

I can’t wait to see what other fun adventures lie ahead as the holidays and first birthdays approach!  Life is good!

Careful, you will have to get him introduced to music by his second cousin, she will square him away!
