Eloise and Desmond at Ross and Jenae’s Wedding

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

On the 19th, Talk Like a Pirate Day and Rosh Hashana, we went to the wedding reception of one of Dan’s good friends in Pittsburgh. It was pirate themed, since it was on talk like a pirate day. Dan and I didn’t dress up, but we did dress up the small ones. Desmond took off his costume fairly quickly, but we do have some pictures of him in it. Anyways here are all my pictures from the reception.

At the Zoo

Monday, September 28th, 2009

When my parents were here we went to the zoo with Desmond and Eloise. My cousin Sandra was planning on coming as well, but she had a cat on her roof. We had a lot of fun while there, even if we did skip the giant panda exhibit. Desmond loved the gorilla house, he had a ton of fun watching the gorillas and orangutans. One of the orangutans was playing hide and seek which kept Desmond entertained for awhile. Eloise really liked the elephants, though I don’t have any pictures of it since Dan had the camera at the time. Here are some of the pictures from our visit.

Watercolors

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Another art project I’ve been doing with Desmond is watercolors. Since he liked painting so much I decided it was worth a shot. He loves playing with the watercolor pads, and occasionally painting on the paper, he is more into playing with the pads though. He really does enjoy it and I figure if it keeps him entertained and isn’t too messy it works for me. Here he is using watercolors.

Stringing beads

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

My parents came up to visit about 2 weeks ago, and my Mom brought Desmond up some stringing beads. He really likes them. He had a little trouble at first getting them on the string, but he is an expert now and likes putting the beads on the string. So here he is stringing some beads.

Hand and Knee Crawling

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Eloise is now officially hand and knee crawling rather then leap frog crawling. The leap frog crawl was so cute, I’m going to miss it! She is really fast on her hands and knees though!

Chocolate Milk in a container

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

The other day Desmond found a container in the dining room, I had taken it out so he could pour paints in it to paint, and decided to pour his chocolate milk into it instead and drink from it. I figured it was entertaining him and keeping him quiet and he wasn’t making a big mess, so I let him do it. He liked drinking his milk from the container.
