The roses are in bloom at the Park of Roses near our local library. Eli really is a flower fan. When we go for a walk, he always stops to check out the flowers. He touches the petals, smells them, and if I'm not quick enough, picks them and tries to put them in his mouth. He usually loves flowers with button-like centers (daisies, coneflowers, black-eyed susans) best, but I think he fell in love with the sweet, sweet smell of the rose. He walked around the park sniffing like a dog, his hint to us that we needed to help him smell the roses. Here are some wonderful pictures of our day.
I should mention that Eli took a pretty good digger today. Here are the pictures to prove it. Poor kid can't get a break. He was sick all week with a fever and the first day he feels good he falls on the sidewalk and tumbles off the curb.

Eli, you are starting to look like a little boy! I love your curls and hope you can hang on to 'em. We hope you enjoy that new baby sister. Your first big brother duty will to make sure you update the blog as soon as she arrives so we can all meet her. (PS: I know you know her name...can't you tell us?)
