Open mouth, insert foot!

I'm sitting here laughing to myself right now as Eli is sitting next to me with his toes in his mouth! It's his new thing and it's cute as ever! Is it weird that all these new things throw me into a world of excitement? Hey, anything that entertains him while I'm changing his diaper is great--if he's not entertained he tries to roll over, and let me tell you that makes it quite difficult to change him!!

Eli STILL won't eat his rice cereal with a spoon. I prepare it and try it every night, though, just in case he changes his mind. He sleeps through the night now. I give him his cereal in a bottle. Somewhere I heard that's not the right way to do it, but, you know what? I'm pretty sure it's not going to affect him in the long run!!

We start with our new sitter tomorrow! Erica was wonderful with Eli, but certain circumstances made it so she had to get a full time job. On Monday, I was talking to the head nurse, Tessa, for some of the schools in the district who had a baby girl 2 months before I had Eli. She was telling me that her mom watches her daughter at Tessa's house....and that she was looking for another baby to watch. The next day Erica told me she got a job. It made me think about that line from Sound of Music--Where God closes a door he always opens a window--that's not a direct quote but you get the picture :) I went and met Cheryl on Friday afternoon and I'm really excited about her! She's really sweet, and I can tell she likes Eli already!

This week is the 12-hours of Sebring race. We've been going to it every year since I've moved here and it's really fun. Ian and I are a member of the Avon Park Junior Chamber of Commerce, (Actually Ian is the president.) I'm passing it over to him to explain:
