Sunny Days are Here!

It is finally nice in Schweinfurt! With the exception of the past two days, it has been rainy and grey, the weather has been beautiful for the past week and a half. Last weekend we went to the zoo, and  at almost 80 degrees -  we were loving it! We walked the zoo, got some ice cream, and found a little outdoor restaurant.

You can tell from Eli's face below that he was thrilled to be there ...

Since the weather has been  so great, Eli and I have been taking little walks every morning. We go outside of post, and walk along these trails that run behind a German high school.

It's so nice to not have to bundle him up anymore. I love the two pictures below ... the hat took some getting used to for him ...

We're still working on the whole 'tummy time' thing, and he'll last about five minutes before he starts screaming.

His new obsession are his burp cloths ... he loves them, and always seems to have one in his clutches. If you are rocking him, he has to have one to fall asleep.

He also watches TV with them ... (they are both really into whatever they were watching) ...

Sleeps with them ...

Swings with them ...

Gets way into snuggling with them ...

He also makes hats out of them. I walked into his room and found him like this after a nap ... hilarious. I keep trying to offer him the nice comfy, silky blankets, but he wants nothing to do with them.

Vic is getting ready to leave for the month, and our house was taken over with Army gear this week. We will miss him, but I'm excited to see him graduate at the end of the month!

Here's a video of Eli's latest trick. I wouldn't call it 'rolling', it's more like a flop ... but I'm sure the real thing is coming soon! This is my first try at using a video, if it works, I'll upload them more often.

We were going to head to Wurzburg this weekend, but the weather kept us stuck around Schweinfurt. Last night our neighbor friend, Jennifer (whose husband went to AIT with Vic) babysat Eli so we could go to dinner. We ate at an Italian place, and then got a couple drinks at the smokiest bar in Germany. It was fun and so nice to get out! Jennifer did great with Eli, I'm pretty sue the dogs gave her a more trouble than the baby!

Anyway, Eli and I don't have much planned while Vic is gone, but I will update this thing if anything exciting happens!
