vacation and family fun!

Dear Elijah,
Well, so much has been happening! Lets begin with you and I being able to spend lots of time with daddy at work! Last week we really got to hang out a lot in the gym with daddy and see him train lots of people! We usually aren't there unless he is training your grandparents or Nina, because we don;t want to make people nervous ;) But when it's them, they don't mind us being there, and it's fun seeing your daddy at work ;) He even holds you sometimes :)
We also just celebrated your grandma Diane's 59th birthday last Tuesday and that was a lot of fun. You got to hang out with your fun cousins and too. We had food, cake and ice cream, which you can't have yet, but soon you will be able to. Instead you stick with milk, and baby food. You enjoy bananas, mango's, pears, and peaches so far... Oh yes, and carrots!
This past weekend, which was the first weekend in September, you me and daddy went on our first planned family vacation!!! Well, first vacation where you were out of my tummy ;) It was so much fun Eli, and you loved every second of it. We went to Palm Springs and stayed at the Renaissance Hotel which had a HUGE pool, and beautiful grounds. We could not believe how great you did in the pool, but it also helped that the water was pretty warm. You just had to kick your feet in it for a while until we dipped you in up to your shoulders, and then you were fine. You spent most the time kicking around in your little palm tree floaty that mommy bought you before the trip! I scored your floaty for 3 bucks at Target since they are trying to get rid of their summer stuff! Yay for us! ;) You liked floating around with us in the pool, and then you also liked when daddy held you and you kicked your little feet as he pulled you around the water. I took so many pictures!!! I couldn't stop! I was just so excited to see you enjoying our first family vacation. I had so much fun, and it was such a relaxing time. When we weren't at the pool, we were off exploring the restaurants and shops on the Palm Springs drive. We wondered into a hat store and made you try on hats. That was fun for us, maybe not so fun for you! hahahahaha Your daddy and I ended up taking us to an interesting place to eat that gave us our check in a red high heel... (Ask us more about this when you are older) it's a funny story ;) they had the best shakes ever! We also tried out a great Mexican restaurant! Yum... On the way home we stopped at A&W for some food and a root beer float! I haven't had one of those in such a long time, and it was so good. You ate pears and enjoyed those too ;) You were very happy the entire trip, and I can't even remember you really crying at all. You loved the hotel bed, and were happy to lay on the fluffy white comforter, and kick around. Your dad and Mine's theory is that you LOVE hotels. You are always so happy to be in a hotel room. hahahahaha. It's so funny. well, anyway, we had a lot of fun, and were so glad to have a fun baby to share a great vacation with. You are so much fun, and such a great sport. Ok, you and daddy are waiting for me right now... In fact you are both seriously staring at me right now. I'm coming, I'm coming! Love you ;)
