Eliot also slept in until 9:00 am. While this is rather typical of him lately, I am always so thankful for consistency in that area. Chris went to get the oil changed in the Jeep, and then we got ready to play with our new toy: a baby carrier backpack from the REI outlet! We thought about going to Otter Creek, but then just decided to go to Blackwater Creek. It had been a while and it is much closer.
I love how easy it is to get baby in. And Eliot just looked like such a pro, like he had been sitting in it his whole life. He looked all around at the trees and other people walking by. I look forward to many more walks and hikes with Eliot this fall. Maybe one day I can actually snag a photo of him smiling in it. Ha!

| Eliot looks so not into it. And I am so out of focus. Ha! But I like us anyway. |

We came home and I edited photos while Eliot played with blocks on the floor and Chris made curry for dinner. Eliot had fun, but I think he was glad to get out and crawl around some. The boy has serious energy. Eliot had spinach and potatoes for dinner followed by a mum-mum for dessert. As if I hadn't already posted enough photos, I couldn't help but take a few of him all covered with food. Can you see his two teeth? He is cutting another one on the bottom, so he has been extra chew-y.
I thought the same thing about the second photo. same expression haha
ReplyDeleteI think Eliot was babbling then. :)
ReplyDeleteremember that time we hiked for a million miles and chris carried eliot in that other carrier...yeah...this looks a lot easier for him haha

Oh yesss. That carrier was definitely not meant for hiking. Ha! I wanted to get one like this for that trip, but you're supposed to wait until the baby can sit up without any support--they suggest six to eight months. I can hardly remember when Eliot couldn't sit up on his own. He' so... everywhere!
