Tammy's Recipes

Eliyahu likes to stand up in bed. If I think it's naptime but he's not ready, he pulls himself up and start looking around. Now that he knows he can stand up, he doesn't settle down very easily. :D He's had his share of falls, too... 

...and he's still learning how to fall. That bumper pad just isn't tall enough or soft enough! :) Oh well, soon enough he'll be past the stage of "Pull up to things, fall, and bump head, 20 times a day" :D

Now the toy box, that is something new! All those wonderful "big boy" toys... this is the place for babies to hang out, definitely!! ;)

And sometimes you just have to stand up to reach allllll the way in there for the toy you just have to have. And then, try to eat it, of course. All toys must be mouth-tested. ;)

Eliyahu is entering the age of bumps and bruises from falling. He's strong enough to pull himself up and get into things, but not yet able to gracefully get down. He's just learning all about things that are safe to climb up on... and things that fall down or move, making him fall too. :)

We're still getting over our colds... almost gone now, thankfully! Yehoshua saw Eliyahu's nose running the other day and said, "Uh oh! Baby's nose need wiped!" and ran for a tissue. ;)

And, in typical 2006 fashion, we've already made a trip to the doctor's this month. This time it was Eliyahu, but thankfully a little in-office procedure and a few weeks of ointment will have him back, as good as new. I'd tell you all the details, but it seems my children have a fondness for developing problems in areas that could be embarrassing to discuss, so we'll just praise YHWH and leave it at that! Now, no more doctor visits this month... or this year!!!! :)
