No Diaper!

I know Eli is never going to forgive me for putting this out for everyone to see but I can't help myself.

Go Crazy!

Eli's a little obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba...

More Water Play

We came home yesterday to find our neighbor Mirabelle playing in her pool. Eli couldn't help himself, he had to get in and I was barely able to get his clothes off in time. We made several attempts to put on a swim diaper but boy that kid is strong.

Then Hazel came out to join the fun (she also couldn't be bothered with a swim diaper).

As usual, Mirabelle was much more timid than Eli & Hazel. All of the kids had a blast!

Bubbles!

Eli's favorite thing right now is water. He has water play at daycare every Wednesday and he loves it. He's the only kid who plays the whole time and the only one who will slide down the slide with the water running on it. Every day as we ride past the Capital Eli screams bubbles at all of the various fountains. What can I say, the kid loves water.

Tonight while I was cleaning up in the kitchen Eli walked over to the front door and started shouting "Whata". Our next door neighbor was out watering her plants and Eli decided that he wanted to join her. Since it was almost bath time I stripped him down and let him have at it. Here are a few pix of the happy boy...

Camp Jamie

We were invited to help Jamie celebrate his birthday by reliving his childhood camp memories. Eli was pretty excited about the large quantity of sticks, wood chips, and dirt available to play with. We were pumped to find a great camping/hiking/biking destination only 30 miles from DC.

Block Party

Block Party was a few weeks ago but Eli had such a good time I felt that I had to post some pix. The street we live on has the longest consecutive running block party in the city - this year was the 40th anniversary. Our neighbors go all out with a BBQ lunch, pony rides, kid games, a pig roast and a DJ.

Here's Eli on his first pony ride...
