Ahhh today was Eli's 5 month birthday! And yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of discovering that he was on his way into our lives...We had a lazy, snuggly day just enjoying doing nothing. We did take Eli down to the pool but it was a little chilly for him and so we cut it short. He's a natural in the water though, already kicking his legs and letting daddy dunk him under. After a bath and a bottle he's napping with his new blanket Grandma Jeannie sent him.
Last night he went out with us to First Friday's and it's amazing how open he is to new experiences and people. He was a little freaked out at first but after a few "mommy snuggles" he was up to party. He got to stay out way past his bedtime and seemed to have a blast with his adopted Aunties and Uncles. We got really lucky with him, in every way.
That's really it for us Vegas Winsetts...just getting ready for my (ick) 31st birthday/ Randy and I's 2nd wedding anniversary and our trip back to Oklahoma. I'm much more excited for the trip. :)

Peas, love and happiness
Sorry I have been lax in posting...so much is going on and yet so little at the same time. We ran off to San Diego so Randy could go to ComicCon and he got to go for the day and geek out at the biggest and the best. I took the time to head out and see my besties from years ago. I hadn't seen Jeannie in over 6 years and although I had seen Julie at my baby shower I always love seeing her. We went up to her place and took the kids to the beach (Jeannie had two gorgeous daughters) It was so fun just to *be* with them again. Not "old" times but newer better times with the old flair. When I dropped my Jeannie off I cried the whole way back to my moms. I promise I will write more about these two, and maybe even dig up some old photos of us back in the day.
The next day we were supposed to do family photos with mom but we ran late and reschuled but I did get a chance to change my hair, a new and bright redhead am I. I love it. Basically that was Friday, just chilling with mom, Randy and the kiddo.
Saturday we tried to do the photo thing again but mom wasn't feeling great. So we texted another of my best pals and had breakfast with her and my rarely seen pal Magnus. It was SO great to get to catch up. I had seen Michalene since Eli was born but not Magnus. Actually I rarely see him anymore and was thrilled to "torture" him with the threat of baby cuddles. I think he's more afraid of babies than most people are of snakes!! Too fun.
We came home relaxed, took a nap, ate some dinner and then...oh joy....Randy and I went out for Mommy and Daddy time at a Burners without Borders fundraiser!! We went over to my friend Alik's house and got to spend some time with him which I had been missing SO SO much. The fundraiser was based on the 7 deadly sins and the costumes were great, the music good, and the people fantastic. I am so glad we went as my dear friend Jenny (the gorgeous redhead in
the red dress) is m
oving to Vermont in September!!! I would have been heartbroken if she had moved and I had missed seeing her at least one more time. Her heart is bigger than I can even begin to describe. I also got to see my "gay husband" Cable and frankly I can never see enough of him.
Sunday we took Eli to see Jenny (we can't make him a good enough fake id yet) and he loves his Aunty Jenny. They actually look a bit alike. Saying goodbye was hard. Then we went to Wendy and Bob's to say hello and see how Wendy was recovering from her surgery. We only stayed an hour or so but at least we got to say hi.
Since returning not much has been going on, except....PEAS. Eli has started eating "solid" food and although we had tried about a month ago with bananas we decided to wait a little while to start again. We did cereal for 3 days and yesterday we added peas. He LOVES them. Another day and we add carrots. He's so cute with green goo on his chin kicking his feet and squealing ever time I say "say aaah" This kid is going to eat us out of house and home!!
Only 2 weeks to my birthday and Randy & I's anniversary and 22 days till we leave for Oklahoma! :)
