3 months

Elijah is out of is '4th trimester' and ready to face the world. Here he is today celebrating on his mat with his bugs. He is getting much more engaged with his surroundings.
In other exciting news, Eden is potty trained.

At Eden and Elijah's first baseball game. Also pretty good evidence that I have no future as a MLB camera operator. He looked safe to me.

Eden does a good job with her little brother most of the time, though sometimes she doesn't do the right thing and quickly promises, "I'll never do it again!" Next up, getting her a better sense of what the word 'never' means.

more stuff has happened

It has been a while since I've posted to this but things have been happening. Grandparents and uncles have visited and are visiting, pounds have been been gained, tantrums thrown, and furniture rearranged.

To start though, here's the main reason I ever write a blog entry- a visit to Mt. Rainier.

Eden was grumpy at times (such as when she wanted to go on the snow), but she has a great grumpy dance.

The bridge that leads to Eden and my favorite place, the grove of the patriarchs. 

Eden has started to really like running, and shortly after this video was taken stopped denying the existence of the number eleven. Now to just convince her that my Courtney isn't my mom, and Aunt Star isn't my dad.

A guest cameraperson took this video on the fourth of July. This blog entry is a little lacking in large and focused video of Elijah so I'll have to post again soon.
