Return to Chi-Town

Chris has returned to Chi-Town for the next 5 days... that leaves lots of quality time with Elliott here in Dallas.  I haven't checked the weather for Chicago, but I'm guessing it's cold!  We got in our pool today and I think it hit at least 90.  While I love the warm weather, it does seem odd not to at least even need a jacket in October.    We had a fun day, visiting Stride Rite to get Elliott some shoes that will help him walk better.  I stopped by daycare last week during lunch and noticed he was struggling to walk in the grass- looked like his shoes were getting in the way.   I found out that Elliott has a very wide foot and also that shoes for babies need to be flexible- note, do not cheap out on the Target shoes if you are thinking- bad idea!    We stopped for some yogurt on the way home.... what a great idea, they have every kind of soft serve frozen yogurt imaginable .... hello, birthday cake and red velvet cake.... with loads of toppings, fresh fruit, chocolate covered pretzels and reese cups- YUM!  Elliott didn't really like it, I think it was too cold, maybe next time.   Here are some videos of Elliott with his pop-ball toy.
