Eli Eats and Swims



Eli has grown up so quickly! Cari and I got to feed him organic sweet peas the other night. At first he didn't seem to like it the way he ate the rice cereal. He finally swallowed the horrible-I mean, delicious dinner and hasn't seemed to mind it as badly since then.
Today, with the thermometer boiling at ninety, we felt it was time for our chubby monkey to go into the pool. Thankfully the Blairs have a swimming hole that's warmer than most others, and it appeared to be just right for Eli. He never really made any reactions that gave us an inside understanding on how he felt, but at least he didn't hate it. Towards the end of the fun, I noticed Eli was floating all by himself. I guess his belly will never let him down, literally.

Although Austin will eat peas, they are definitely not his favorite. It took a lot of convincing to get him to take a second bite. :)

He wants to go swimming with Eli!

Oops, I don't know why it called me that... :)

Haha, nice job on the sign-in name. I think we created this blog just for you, cousin-in-law. :) Thanks for making the comments portion worth having on here.

Eli, I'm sure, can't wait to swim with Austin either. He has to promise not to eat his hands the entire time, though, since Eli will need them to survive the waters. -J
