Chesapeake and the Virginia Aquarium

Christopher and I decided to take an impulsive trip back to Chesapeake.  My childhood bestfriend (Kimmy) has been feeling a bit lonely since her husband is in Austria for work.  He'll be gone for eight weeks!  We figured it would be nice to keep her company for a little while.

We came in last night, and saw her dad play guitar.  Eliot is simply mesmerized by music and guitar.  He stared until he grew too tired and fell asleep in my arms.  We stayed the night at Kimmy's house, and went to the Virginia Aquarium the next day.  I hadn't been since it was called the Virginia Marine and Science Museum.  They really have added a lot.  Eliot just stared at all of the fishies.

Eliot has been growing more and more talkative.  He says "mama" when he is upset.  Other times when he babbles, he puts his hands up like he is asking a question and scrunches his brow.  Kimmy said that he looks (and sounds) like a concerned, old Italian man.  And it's true.  He really does.  I love hearing him talk.  It really is amazing how quickly he changes.
