Sunday was Dave's Birthday. I got him the X-box game he has been wanting (a decision I've regretted since). And Eliza picked out a really cool gift for him too. As you can see, they both really enjoyed it.
Eliza's Wonderful pick for Dad
Dad excitedly explaining the types of construction machines to Eliza
It was truly priceless watching them read this book together. Dave would name the machine and Eliza would look at the picture and laugh and smile. I think they have read it about 10 times already :) Of course, Dave had to point out that the book was titled incorrectly. It's called "Diggers" when apparently only 1 of the machines in the book actually digs. Haha. That's Dave for ya. But I must say, Eliza really knows what she's doing this early on by picking Dad a gift that SHE can enjoy too :)
A couple weeks ago, we went to our first county fair in Wahoo. There was a big (very LONG) parade before the fair. They threw out a lot of candy for the big kids. I wondered how Eliza would like it. But, as you can see, she could care less. She was too concerned about chewing on her book.
I decided to try a Baby Einstein video on YouTube to see what Eliza would think of it . She LOVED it! She laughed and kicked her legs at her favorite parts. I think that I need to buy her a couple, but for now we'll just wach the free videos.
Enjoying Baby Neptune
On Saturday, we leave for Alton, Illinois to attend Sr. Chiara's (Liz's) first profession. This will be our first FAMILY vacation with Miss Eliza and I cannot wait for Eliza to meet her namesake for the first time! I am sure I will have LOTS of pictures to post after the trip.
House Update: After weeks of battling with the contractor who poured the basement walls(he didn't want to redo them even though they needed it desperately....he decided to pour them in the 70 mph rainstorm) we are finally back on track! Now its just getting the floor done and then FINALLY time for framing. The whole ordeal put us 3 weeks behind schedule! Uhhhh!
