Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

Last weekend was full of baseball. On Saturday we went to a season ticket holder event where we got to go out on to the field and walk the bases. On Sunday we went to Eli's last game of the season.

As you can see Eli had a lot of fun checking out the bases and the dugout.

millions of peaches, peaches for me

Peaches are in season and we've been making good use of them all this week. First, we had grilled peaches with bourbon whipped cream, then I made a peach sauce to pour over ice cream and last night we had little peach cobblers.















2 of the 3 recipes came from this awesome website that I'm quickly becoming obsessed with. It's full of all kinds of interesting recipes, gadgets, and food related tidbits.

Speaking of websites that I've become obsessed with...I just recently found out about Kaboodle. It's like an amazon wishlist but you can use the whole internet. Now every time I read a magazine that mentions a really great toy for kids I can add it to my list for Eli (and now I can throw the magazines away). I have also been using it to keep track of my favorite things on Etsy (yet another site I love). I'm more than a little jealous of the crafty people who sell their stuff on this site.

Tummy Trouble

I'll worn you now that this post involves talk about poop...Eli has been home for the last few days with some serious poopy problems and a very red bottom. The days has consisted of oatmeal baths, diaper-less roaming around the upstairs of the house, lots of A+D, and more than a few poop explosions. Throughout all of this Eli has remained his usual cheerful self. He loves the extra bath time and really enjoys being sans diaper. I, on the other hand, will be very happy when this little stomach bug passes.

Since we've been home Eli has started walking! I haven't been able to get any video because it's mostly when he's diaper-less. Next time he's dressed I'll try and get some video of the amazing walking baby.
