Elias is 8 months old today.  Can you believe it?  We barely can.  He’s also had a few new milestones this week.  Last weekend he waved to another baby at a store.  Last night he waved to me when I left him with Nikki for his late night feeding right before he’s tucked in.  He’s also pulling himself up now…  He started that yesterday and now does it pretty easily.  He’ll grab the sides of the playyard and just pull himself up.  He’s also crawling up on all 4s now.  We’ll be headed to the store this afternoon to get some more baby proofing “equipment”.  The lady bug is Elias’ first Halloween costume.  Debbie found it on sale and picked it out.


We also finally got a Trader Joe’s here in RI.  It opened Friday and we made it there Saturday to do our usual weekend grocery shopping.  We’re pretty excited because they sell a lot of better for you and organic options.  That’s what we try to buy anyway, but TJ’s has their own brand so they tend to be less expensive and they also have more options.  Obviously saving money on food is a great thing so we’re pretty excited.
