Peaches, Boxes, and Bowling

Some of the latest goings-on:


We woke up to about 5 inches of snow yesterday. The day before it had been 80 degrees. Today it's supposed to be in the 60s. Colorado weather is indeed disorienting.

Eli got a new big-boy car seat yesterday! (The Cates family can expect theirs back soon!) While mom was installing it, Eli had fun in the box. We have hundreds of dollars worth of toys, but it never fails that Eli's favorite things are not toys at all: boxes, cell phones, shoes, pens, etc.
Here's a new thing: you put solid food in this meshy thing, and Eli can gnaw on it all day without risk of choking. Here, he gnaws some peaches into a mushy pulp.
Sitting on the sofa.
Last night's adventure: bowling! Here are dad and Eli at the bowling alley. We kind of matched.

Gnawing on some pizza crust. He really liked it. In other news, Eli is apparently not allergic to wheat. This is how Eli and his mama bowled all night. Jessa did really well this way--she finished second out of 9 people! The one frame where she bowled without Eli, she rolled a gutterball. So apparently Eli is a crucial part of her technique.
