Sesame Street

The sesame street website is Eli's new favorite to watch on the computer. I love it because they have a lot of videos and you can choose by character and theme or do a search. I personally love all the celebrity videos. If you decide to head over there with your kids, right now Eli's favorite include: Octagon with Jack Black, Alphabet song with Ray Charles. Counting to 4 with Feist and counting with James Earl Jones(below):

V day *

We had a low key Valentines day this year. After Eli went to bed, Brent and I made our most favorite pizza. It's homemade crust topped with mozza, shrimp, pesto, mushrooms and sundried tomoatoes. It is amazing. We made two so that we would have one for lunch the next day. We watched a movie and ate our pizza, it was a very relaxing evening - perfect!

Homemade dough is the best

Ready for the oven

YUM!!

*Brent and I are big True Blood fans. We are anxiously awaiting the next season to start in the Summer. Calling this post V day is a reference to the show for those who watch it.

Growing and growing

Eli and Winston weigh pretty close to the same right now ~ 30lbs. I took a picture of Paul and Eli when they weighed the same back in Nov 2008. It took a long time for him to catch up to Winston. Winston better watch out since he'll be outweighted pretty soon.

Just like Mom

We had fun getting ready this morning. Eli especially enjoyed curling his lashes. Dad would be so proud!

Getting ready for Spring

I'm ready for Spring to come. I hear birds outside, see blue sky....it must be close! I found these awesome rubber boots at Superstore. Now we are ready for some serious puddle jumping. Could they be any more fun? They even have fins on the back. Oh to be a kid again, I want a pair!

EEG was a success

The EEG appointment was on Thursday and I'm happy to report that it went amazingly well. Eli woke up an hour early that morning so he was nice and tired for the appointment. The technician took him and wrapped him in a blanket really tight so that he couldn't move his arms, this by far was the worst part. After that, she quickly got the sensors on his head which he didn't like, but didn't complain about too much. Then she wrapped his head in gauze so that the sensors wouldn't move. Brent held him, we turned out the lights and he was asleep within 30 seconds - I couldn't believe it. Neither could the technician, she said quite often it's 2 hours of crying. I think my super scheduling, and Brent's calming ways were the perfect combo. I was worried for nothing! She started recording right away and then after 25 mins we woke him up and got 5 mins of awake recordings. He wasn't even cranky when we woke him up. We had a 2 hour appointment and we were in and out in 45 minutes. We have a meeting the first week of March to get the results.

Time to take all the sensors off - all done!

Round 2

Eli found the penaten yet again. No matter where we hide it he seems to find it. Luckily, the carpets escaped untouched! I can't say as much for Eli's face though.
