West Fest 2014

 Eli got to experience the West Fest for the first time and he loved it, except for the heat. We rented a camper and stayed on the grounds. This really helped at nap times and when we needed to escape the heat.
We brought a pool for the babies to cool off.
He loves water
They chilled while we grilled
This guy slept from 8p-6a the first night and he was ready to go Saturday morning
We tried to get him to wear a hat, but he wasn't having it. You can tell he is about to take the hat off his head.
Helping daddy ice the cooler for the weekend.
My ussie with my baby didn't work so well. It was extremely warm at this point. We put towels in ice water to cool the babies.
My mom bought him a necklace that had cooling gel in it to help with the heat. He loved it around his neck and started to look like Rambo or a Parisian. We weren't sure.lol
My mom and Eli listening to Jodie Mikula Orchestra (Poppi's band) play
Eli went to Mass in the amphitheater
Dancing to Ennis Czech Boys play (Uncle Corey's band)
Marley and Eli wanted to take this picture to show how much fun they had
 
Our one family picture when it was extremely hot at the festival
The aftermath of West Fest 
Our camper as we were packing up
My brother and cousin stayed with us and the camper gave us plenty of room to lounge. 

I already sent my money to reserve our camper spot for next year. We can't wait!

Eli is Ten Months Old

Our little boy is 10 months old!

Eli is still in size 3 diapers

He eats baby food and sometimes soft table food

No teeth yet

This little guy is on the move and taking several steps. It won't be long before he is completely walking
Eli and Marley were reliving old times in the baby swing
We thought it was time for him to learn to drive
Playing in the pool 
He loved watching Poppi pour water like a waterfall in the pool
Loving the swings at Gammy and Poppi's 
He was so comfortable he fell asleep
I watched the kiddos on my birthday and turned my head for ten seconds to wash my hands and this is what I found
He wanted to see Poppi playing the drums at the KJZT Celebration
Bathtime fun
Air drying after his bath
Eli and Marley went to the hospital to visit a friend
Eli got to meet his newest cousin, Cameron
Me and my little sweetheart
The sweetest smile
Here he is taking some steps
"Look Ma! No hands!"
 You can see how independent he is and what a smiley little boy he is. We love this little guy and can't believe it's only two months until he turns 1!!
