What a fun weekend! Yesterday Josh, Eli and I went apple-picking for the first time. Breeden’s Orchard was perfect (even if it was in the 80’s). We picked 9 pounds of apples and bought some fresh blackberry jam for a mere $15. Eli was up in the action trying to eat an apple, successfully picking his own leaf, and breaking hearts everywhere. What a little cutie! Next year though, I think we’ll try to get there opening weekend. There were quite a few fully picked trees.
After we went to Kavanagh’s Irish Pub and pretty much pigged out on banger’s and mash, fish and chips, and Bailey’s cheesecake. Eli was the perfect little boy. He only tried to pull down a giant, candle-laden object once. We also stopped by Essex, which conveniently is right next to Kavanagh’s, and bought him his own little V-tech walker. That boy is obsessed. He loves it! We also got a Poppin’ Park Elephant for $12 which I was excited about until I got home. All but one of the balls is missing! Geesh. Replacement balls, of course, would make this ‘deal’ non-existent.
As for the apples? So far I’ve made apple pie. I’ve got apple butter going in the crock-pot and another pie crust ready for the filling…and I still have apples left. I think with the rest we’ll do cider or an apple sauce. I hope you’re having as much fun and food as I am.
What we bought: Vtech sit to stand learning walker, Carter’s my first Christmas jammies, The Grinch’s Great-Big Flap Book (I’m done Christmas and birthday shopping for my baby!)
Best moment: Taking a nap with Eli yesterday morning. He’s so sweet. He fell asleep with his hand on Josh’s face. When he woke up he rolled over and tried to crawl on me.
How my life has changed: 7 am is sleeping in! I spend so much time trying to entertain Eli. Singing, dancing, hopping, it’s all in my playbook.
Eli: Week 36
I am obsessed with curtains! I think they’re hilarious and I just have to touch them (and try to eat them). This often ends bath time early, because I just must grab the shower curtain and attempt to pull myself up in the slippery, hard as a rock tub. I got my first bruise this week after I had pulled myself to standing and then fell over, hitting my head on the edge of the toy box. Mom was more upset than I was. Mom and dad bought me a new walker-toy. I haven’t quite figured out how to use it without help, but I do know that it has a barn house door on it that is the best thing since sliced bread. I went apple picking for the first time and I had so much fun! I’m a very good boy.
Have a great weekend!
