+as I type this post, Ellison is napping in his CRIB!!! This is huge. His naps were getting worse and worse so this past weekend I started putting him in his crib for naps. There was a few tears but he very quickly settled down and went to sleep. I think he was getting to distracted when I tried laying down with him. He just wanted to touch my ear and "talk" to me. I am going to miss that though.
+I finally got Ellison a water table. I really likes making big splashes and throwing the little people around.
+ On our menu this week we have...spaghetti and meatballs, chicken stuffed with herbed goat cheese and Israeli couscous with spinach/arugula, pine nuts, and currants, chicken salad, and for father's day dinner: coffee rubbed ribeye (use the rub sparingly since over using it will make the steak very spicy) with cornmeal onion rings and squash and asparagus. (all of the recipes I link to I follow loosely)
+Speaking of Father's Day...we had a great time celebrating yesterday. We gave Andre his gifts at lunch and made sure we told him how much we appreciate everything he does for us. I called my daddy early on Sunday since he is doing a mission trip this week.
+If you follow me on instagram then you have already seen this, but Ellison learned how to stack all of these rings! Making mama proud since 2012!!!
+ My little boy is growing up SO fast! He even had ice cream for the first time...and it got all over his face :)
