Hugs & Woof Woof

Eli discovered 2 new things today...hugs and dogs. This morning while out to coffee & bagels Eli decided that the little girl at the next table was so cute that he had to hug her. He walked over, bent down a little to get his face in her face, looked back at me with a huge smile, and hugged her around the belly. I've never seen him do this before and it was cuter than you can imagine. I think he learned it from a little girl at the park last weekend. She kept coming over and hugging him and he really seemed to enjoy it.

This afternoon we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and go for a walk to the park. I let Eli walk, which takes considerably more time but I don't mind as long as it's not too cold. Along the way we came across the hound that lives up the street. He's an old dog and let Eli pet him and gave his hands a few licks. Eli looked up at me and said Woof Woof. As we continued our walk we came across about a million more dogs (people in DC love their dogs) and each time Eli stopped to say Woof Woof. If that wasn't enough doggie love...while at the park Eli spent a considerable amount of time hanging on the fence closest to the dog park yelling Woof Woof.

All in all a pretty fun day.
