Tigger at Disneyland

Yesterday, we enjoyed a drizzly late afternoon at Disneyland with my family.

Perfect for bringing out the cozy Tigger outfit our neighbor gave us; he got lots of oohs and aahs.

Waiting in line with Grandpa

On the Casey Jr. Train

At Elijah's favorite ride: "It's a Small World" -- lots of lights, music, and moving things, what more could a baby want?

Morning reading time

Sitting on the floor with books is a good way to start the day

9 Months

Elijah is now nine months old.

Just when we thought he couldn't get any cuter, he did!

He now waves "bye" and will crawl to the door to greet his daddy when he gets home from work.

He says "vroom, vroom" when pushing his cars on the ground.

He has developed a strong desire for bread; he will sit at meals asking for bread (Mmmm! Mmmmm!) until the request is granted. It does not matter whether bread is actually within sight. Out of sight is not out of mind.

He's a steady crawler now. He is able to make his way up and down one step. He likes to pull himself up on anything available.

Keeping up

Ella can walk. Elijah can't and has trouble with steps.

Ella is carrying a phone that has buttons and makes noise!

Almost within reach!

Foiled by the more mobile cousin; if she would just stay still he could get it

On being the littlest cousin
