Eli I went to a baby shower first thing in the morning. It was for a friend of mine that I met through the hospital's new mommy group. She is having her second baby and it's a girl 9she already has a sweet little boy). I had so much fun catching up with some friends I haven't seen in a while and Eli had a blast playing with all the cool toys. Of course Eli had his moments during the shower since he didn't get enough sleep. At one point Eli threw a tantrum in the middle of the kitchen because I told him he could not have a cookie until he ate something healthy like a banana. He proceeded to lay on the tile floor crying for about ten minutes while everyone ignored him. He finally got up when he got tired of everyone stepping over him. I just love it when I have the only child acting up at a party! Even with Eli's tantrums we still had a lot of fun. I made Melanie's little girl custom burp clothes that I'm pretty proud of.
Eli and I didn't get to stay for the present opening because Eli was past ready to go down for a nap. But I did get to see on present that was really neat from Chanel, it was a meal service that she will deliver frozen for after the baby comes. I think I might have to steal that idea!

Eli fell asleep on the way home from the shower. While He napped Thomas and I got things together to head to Abby's 2nd birthday party and then to head down to League City for Thomas' birthday dinner with the family. I hated to do it but I had to wake Eli up from his so we could make it to Abby's birthday party and hour late. We got there just in time for the cake! Stacy did such a wonderful job on the cake. She made an Abby Gabby (from Sesame Street) cake and piped all the detail. I wish I would have taken a picture.

Eli was really into picking up the candy. I guess all the Easter egg hunts but him in the mood to hunt candy
He did such a good job picking up the candy and putting it in the bag.
Eli would even pick up candy and put it in other kids bags. If you had a bag open he would put candy in it!
Abby about to open the present Eli brought for her. She was so sweet, when she was told that was from Eli she went and got Eli.
This is when she brought Eli over to watch her open the gift he brought for her.
After we left the party we headed down to League City to celebrate Thomas' 30th birthday with his family. We met everyone at a restaurant called Frenchies. The food was very good and we had a nice evening with family. Eli was in no mood to eat dinner since he had so much cake at the party. He was also over tired and was acting up a bit. I managed to entertain him by showing him the camera. So Eli and I took pictures of everyone at the table.
After he got bored with the camera I gave him my phone to play with and he pretended to call some one on the phone and have a conversation with them too.
After he was done with the phone Eli entertained him self with the candy he got from Abby's birthday party. He would take the candy out of the bag and then put it back in the bag. He also would drive the candy around like a car. After we left the restaurant and went to Melissa and Johnathan's house for presents and cookie cake. We put Eli to bed as soon as we got to their house Caleb was also put to bed as soon as they got home. Eli fell asleep without to much issue which we were very surprised about since he has never spent the night there before and was sleeping in a pack-in-play. We had a good time visiting with family and after they left we had a good time visiting with Melissa and Jonathan. We all stayed up way too late since all 4 of us need to be up early the next morning. It was a fun filled day and we went to bed exhausted!
