We went ahead and got Eli his Christmas present from us because he's definitely ready for it. We got him a push toy so that he doesn't have to hold onto our fingers, but can hold onto this little "walker" and go all over the house. It's so cute! He has practiced on one at the church, so we knew he'd be able to do it. Hopefully it will help our poor aching backs. We had a lovely picnic on the river yesterday and watched the rowing contests going on. Today Eli played with the other babies at church, and we enjoyed long walks in the beautiful weather. We have had some rough nights since this second tooth is coming in. For the past 4 nights I've been up every hour, but now that the tip is through I'm hoping for some sleep! There's Eli checking out his new baby gate.
