It's been a while since I last blogged, we haven't been too busy the last few weeks, but I figure I should update anyhow.
Oliver has been a pill lately. Whenever we left (yes, this even involves just leaving the room to go to the bathroom or upstairs for a minute) his little beagle nose would get him in serious trouble. He would climb on the back of the couch, venture on to the counter and start grubbing on that was left on the counter. Not that we often left food out, but if there was anything on a plate in the sink, or a pan that was too hot to wash, this little thing was chowing down. So, we pulled the crate out and Ollie is crated anytime we go outside: to play, to get the mail, or when we aren't home. He's actually doing a great job with it. I thought he would be putting up more of a fight, but he is being quite cooperative. Eli truly loves the crate too. We've known about his obsession with crates since before he could walk. He loved(s) getting in and out of Marco's crate-one of my parents beagles-heck anyones would do. Here he is having a fabulous time inside Oliver's crate.
Oliver doesn't quite know what to think about Eli being in his crate. He's just sitting back and waiting for him to get out. Oh, and because you're wondering, Eli closes the gate on his own. We do not lock him in there!
I had to prove one more time that Eli really is my son too and he did get something from me. Whenever anyone sees Eli, their first comment is always "Wow, he looks just like his Daddy." I am totally ok with this, but every once in a while would be nice to hear he has something of mine. We have all seen Eli's hilarious little "cheeseball" face, if you don't remember, look at some of my early posts. One day I decided to cheeseball with him, and CLEARLY he has my mouth. It is a dorky picture, but hey, he looks like me! hee hee
The other morning I realized how big he is getting. Not thinking about it, I was giving him his breakfast when it dawned on me. He was sitting at the table. Eating a bowl of cereal. Drinking milk out of a cup. This is what happens when he keeps giving his goofy cheeseball grin and I ask him to smile normal. What a cutie!
Today we went to the Red Hook Brewery, had lunch and did the tour with my parents and an old family friend. Not old as in age, but she and my mom were best friends when they were in school. They grew up together in MT and have been friends ever since (seriously, they've known each other for 54 years. Now THAT is a friendship!). First, Eli ate like a champ at lunch, and had a good time weaving in and out of our legs and going back and forth during the tour. You would have thought he had some beer while we were there, of course he didn't. He was just in a fabulous mood and was having a super time with "Gaampah" and "Gaamma".
Daddy and Eli are checking out the brewery.

My Dad, Becky, and Mom. What silly kids. :)

What a great day (two weeks)!
