Last of the Florida Pictures

Chill-laxing at Mema and Granddad's

I'm not sure how this happened...

He loved getting comfy in their bed and watching Elmo and his other favorite shows!

Helping Granddad put the baby gate on the stairs

Too bad he wasn't looking at the camera in any of these!

Talking to Mema through the window again...

Eli and Uncle George...I think he wanted Uncle George's phone.

Eli loved my mom's state trooper friend, Genoa. We have another picture almost exactly like this from a year and a half ago! He got to turn on her lights and look up Mommy's driving record on her computer!

Sportin' Granddad's shoes!

Cousin Lily's 4th Birthday Party

While we were in FL we got to go to my niece's birthday party. She and her buddy Philip celebrated their birthdays together at my brother's house. It was a "Lily/ Phily" birthday celebration! It was great to also finally see my brother's new home all finished. The last time I saw it, it was about 85% completed. Their sweet family of 7 now has lots of room to spread out! I am so happy for them!

Eli loves his cousin Maggie who is 4 months older than him!

I didn't snap the picture in time of Eli wacking the Pinata...but he hit it!

Cake time!

Beach Boy

Eli and I are home from our trip to Florida. We had a great time! Eli kept his Mema and Granddad busy! Especially Granddad who got quite a workout just chasing him! We enjoyed some time at the beach in Panama City. Luckily we were there before the Spring Break crowds! 

Eli loved chasing the sea gulls and playing in the sand. He had to taste it of course! He also found a pretty shell. The waves were pretty big that day and the water was a tad cold, but that didn't stop him from playing in the water a little too! 

The first set of pictures are of him wearing his new outfit from Hawaii that G.G. and Grandpa got him on their trip. I just wish Daddy could have been there too to sport his matching shirt and enjoy the day with us!

Eli and Granddad

Mommy and Eli...not sure if this was before or after we got doused by a wave!

Yum! Sand!
