the friday before THE friday

yesterday we had a pool day - eli's first trip to the heath pool this year. 

let's say he liked it.

 

if i am still pregnant monday, we want to take the little fish back.

last night we did our usual trip into granville... walked around and people watched, saw the fire trucks

and stumbled upon whit's -- like always.

it was late & i didn't want eli to have his own (sugar high) -

so i ordered a cone, 2 scoops, for us to share.

it may have been one of my top 10 most embarrassing moments, walking out of whits, past every person in line, making room for the massive pregnant girl ...

with what looked like an entire half gallon of ice cream on my cone. 

After mike laughed at me and took my picture, he actually ate the top scoop (can you believe it?!) and eli shared my cone. 

i think we have abandoned the high chair all together, because eli now thinks he sits at the bar.

it seems to keep him entertained and he is doing less food throwing and more eating. 

for this week anyway.

 (he uses chicken fingers to scoop ranch and/or ketchup in his mouth. only sometimes, by accident, i think a piece breaks off in his mouth and he eats it.)

i love asking him questions ...

eli, does daddy just ignore you while i'm at work?

(very casually) yeah.

eli, are you a baby or a big boy?

a boy.

a BIG boy?

a boy.

eli, are you cool with that?

yeah, cool with that. 

or when he does roll call.

momma here. dada here. eli here. too.

so cute. 

7 days.

i have never actually seen the movie groundhog day, but i think i am stuck in that movie.

not working makes every day the same...this is worse than waiting on our beach trip to come, like being off work, packed, car loaded, but nope, you can't go yet.

unless of course we get a direct order from sam, & then we're on our way! :)
