Eli Chasing Jonah

Eli and I were lucky enough to hang out with

Nancy and Jonah around the neighborhood on Thursday.

Jonah is really fast, and Eli probably didn't have

much hope of catching him, but he always gave it his best

and loved the chase.

Eli Definitely Spanish!

For those of you not in on the joke...

Q: How many Spanish people does it take to do a job?

A: Five. One to do the work and 4 to watch and comment.

I'm proud to say that Eli seems to be carrying on

this fine "observational" trait from his Spanish heritage.

Not a bad place for a nap

Eli & Aidan Playing Piano

Eli and I were able to take Aidan to his dance class at Variations in Huntington on Monday.

Afterwards we discussed art, drank sherry and

twiddled on the piano.

Enjoy...

Eli Feeding Himself

One of our more "typical" videos of a toddler feeding himself and making a grand mess of it all. But, he's our little guy so it's the cutest little video ever!

Oh, by the way... he's eating apple sauce with blueberrys mixed in.

A blurry little picture of Eli that I think Jasper took.
I found it on my iPhone after I returned home.

Eli Chasing Aidan

More cousin fun! Aidan was doing little laps at Grandmother and Abuelo's cottage and Eli thought it was hilarious and tried to keep up with his speedy cousin Aidan, chirping with joy all along.

Eli Knocks Himself Out!

After watching his big cousin Jasper pretend to knock himself silly. Eli had to do his own version.

Chillin' in beautiful South Hampton

Eli and I had the opportunity to stay at a beautiful home in South Hampton for an extended weekend. It was a generous offer that we thoroughly enjoyed. We just walked out of the house and on to the beach - simple and wonderful.

Eli say "Chhh!"

There we were taking a bath and one of us sort of guffahed making a "chhh" sound and then Eli repeated it back. It was just too funny, we couldn't stop laughing so we had to capture a quick video. Enjoy!

Eli and Mom (and little Brother too)

A sweet little photo of Eli hugging Mom's big belly.

Little does Eli know a a baby brother waits inside.

Eli climbs in his drawer

Dyker came and asked me about a towel for the park.

As we walked back towards the kitchen, she told me that Eli had climbed into his lower drawer and sat in there.

When I got to his room he was out, but then he saw me, so he pulled open the drawer and climbed back in.

The whole time with a big silly "aren't I hilarious" smile on his face.

Dyker then suggested I take a pic quickly...

Great idea, yes?

Visit with the Starks

On our way back to Brooklyn today we stopped in at

Josh, Margot and Jameson's house.

We played drums, drank iced tea and then

walked up and down Main Street in Beacon...

a really good Sunday visit.

Eli doing "loops" solo!

Eli likes to do "loops" before bed by going through his room, through our room, down the hall, back in to his room where it starts all over again. Well now he does it without any help from Mom or Dad. He just walks and walks all by himself or solo!

Eli Eats a whole banana in 3 bites!

Ok, we didn't get the camera quick enough to film the first bite, but you can see the last 2 mouth stuffing bites in all their glory...

Enjoy!
