Little Monkey

Jerrold has been calling Eli a Monkey-Man for the last several months, so he just had to be a little monkey for Halloween! His ears were huge and he had a curly tail to top off the outfit. He was such a good sport tonight. We made several stops and he seemed to enjoy being dressed out for Halloween.

Weekly Adventure...

We began frequenting the Natural Science Center earlier this year and finally decided to become members. Eli even talked his best buddy Mac into joining the club. We make a trip every week to check out the animals and spend time with Sara and Mac. Eli loves all the animals, but he is a big fan of the goats! He stands right at the fence and isn't afraid of them at all! We are so fortunate to have this little zoo so close to home.

Eli's Big Announcement

Eli found out today that he will soon have a baby brother! Jerrold immediately noted that he almost had a foursome for golf, they could play man to man in basketball, and he had no weddings expenses in his future. We are very excited and expect many wild days ahead in the Simmons household!

State Fair

Jerrold and I are huge fans of the State Fair. We decided to brave the elements on Friday and take Eli for his first polish sausage, deep friend candy bar, and corn dog. Of course he didn't get to enjoy all those delicacies but we certainly waddled our way towards the car at the end of the day. Eli is a huge fan of animals! He loved the goats, pigs, and cows!

We'll give this a try...

All of our friends are joining the blog world so we decided to give it a try. This is a busy time at the Simmons household. Eli just turned eight months old and he is getting to be very busy! He is not crawling quite yet, but he is giving it his best effort. Until now he has been a very laid-back little boy but he is definitely developing a new personality. His time in the spotlight will be short lived as we have another baby coming in March!
