An awesome giveaway

Silly Eagle Books is giving away an $80 CSN Gift Certificate. CSN offers a variety of items, I'm sure you could find something to spend $80 on! Maybe many things! You have until September 8th to enter.

If you don't check out Silly Eagle for the giveaway, you should at least check them out for the book recommendations. I love books, and I hope Elliott grows up to love them, too. It doesn't take much (if anything) to convince me to buy one (or five). Be warned: Vanessa @ Silly Eagle Books will make you want to double your kid's library!

Peek-a-boo!

While out to lunch today, Elliott started playing peek-a-boo with us! I was covering his face with the napkin, then removing it and saying "peek-a-boo" and he would laugh. Then he took the napkin from me and started doing it himself!

Olive Garden in Wake Forest

Wake Forest's newest restaurant opened tonight and I just had to eat there. I absolutely go crazy over the salad and breadsticks at Olive Garden, and I'm soooo excited that they opened one just 1/4 of a mile from our house! Even though it was the Grand Opening, we only had to wait about 30 minutes. It was well worth it!

bathtime or playtime?



This is the life, right? I mean, I can't remember the last time I took a 30 minute bath!

Some Serious Jumptime



Does anyone else think at some point that Elliott will just jump straight out of his jumperoo?? We raised the seat, so now Elliott can jump better and higher. Matt was making Elliott laugh and when I tried to get Matt on camera, he ducked away. :(

Playtime in the Pack-n-Play


Elliott usually has playtime in the pack-n-play at least once a day. He plays by himself and is such a good boy! This lets mommy take a shower or eat some lunch. Elliott apparently thinks that his toys are his lunch because he keeps trying to eat them. :)
