Time to play catch up . . . .

To catch up a little . . . these pictures were taken in April. This is when Eli really began playing in a new way. He made friends with his stuffed animals! Suddenly, they were his companions that had to go with him wherever he went and whatever he did.

This is the very special frog. We call him Dadot. He was the first animal Eli made friends with and the same week Eli kept wandering around the house, dragging the frog, saying "dadot, dadot, dadot." So guess how Daddy named him. He still sleeps with Dadot and when Eli gets up in the morning and after naps, Dadot has to come out of the crib to snuggle and share his milk.
