Spring is finally here and I am super excited about it :-) Of course today it is kind of rainy and gloomy, which is why I am inside on the computer. But it is still warm enough to wear a t-shirt and sandals and that is FANTASTIC!
Chris and I have been taking advantage of this beautiful weather, we raked the yard and picked up all the nasty giant dog poop that accumulated over the winter and we planted a garden with cucumbers, green beans, peas, sugar snap peas, romaine lettuce, and some other random stuff. I am SO excited about it! I have wanted to grow my own vegetables for so long and it is so great to have access to a yard to put them in. Now if we could only get rid of the monster that lives in the backyard... a.k.a. Buddy, the giant moose of a dog with no brain... But then again, I don't own the place so my opinion doesn't really matter too much. I can't wait until Chris and I have our own place! That dream is still a ways away I am afraid... We also took our first picnic of the season the other day over by Lake McBride for you Iowans who know where that is. Beautiful place considering it's one of the few lakes in the whole state... :-P Ok so there are more than a few, but really, you can't even compare to the 10,000 in MN.
So here's what's new with Elijah... He is finally crawling! This happened just in the last couple weeks. He's moving pretty slow and he still gets a little bit frustrated, but he can totally get all over the place if he wants to. And he seems to be getting better at it everyday so pretty soon we won't even be able to keep track of him. He's still standing up leaning against things or holding onto someone's hands, but he isn't standing on his own yet. He's trying to pull himself up, but can only make it to his knees... He's a heavy guy! He also said "mama" a couple weeks back and he said it all day and the next day, but then he decided that wasn't fun so he hasn't said it since. He's been saying "dada" forever. He hasn't said anything else yet, just babble. He almost looked like he wanted to wave back at someone at church today but he just kind of held his hand up in the air and stared... Which is pretty much what he does all the time. He's started sticking his tongue out all the time, it's really cute :-P One behavior I'm not too thrilled about is that when he wakes up now, he will sit up in his crib instead of just laying there like he did before. It is cute sometimes after naps he will just sit up and play, but in the middle of the night he sits up and screams until somebody gets him... And since he makes himself sit up, he totally wakes up and won't lay back down and go back to sleep like he normally would if we just ignored him... Silly kid.
I think that's about all that's new, he is becoming more and more fun every day, I just love the little guy :-)
