Playtime with cousin!

Splish! Splash!

Rain is sufficiently a novelty around here that it is hard to resist a rainy day recess even if it means lots of towels and clothes to dry.

Pouring Action

A couple of weeks ago, Elijah had a lot fun pouring and mixing colored water. (As a side note, our aesthetics have been so much improved ever since my dear friend recommended only providing colors that mix well together--no more browns!)

My 7 Month Old

Josiah is growing, growing, growing and sitting, sitting, sitting! (And still not rolling both ways--who needs to move?) He's a snuggly, happy little guy. And so cute!

Big Boy Bed

A few weeks ago we moved Elijah into his big boy bed. He was thrilled--he loves being able to get in and out of bed. The bed was my mom's as a little girl, and all my siblings and I slept in it as toddlers.

We're still working on not getting out of bed too often, but he no longer falls out on a regular basis. :)

Most mornings, he still reads in bed rather than coming to get me.

This post is brought to you by Richard Scarry. He currently is sleeping with five Richard Scarry books lined up along the back edge of his bed.
