July 21 - 23

Hi Lijah!
Well, we haven't been doing too much this week but hanging out with you!

On Wednesday, Gramma Debbie wanted more time with you so she took you for the whole day! She reported that you were a ton of fun. She texted me that you remind her so much of me. I sure don't hear that very often, baby boy. She said that you are laid back & funny like me and you have a big huge smile like me. I sure do love that smile! I do hate it when you hide that smile so we can't see your tooth. You clamp down and pucker your lips - you are so stubborn like your mommy too.

On Thursday, you were back at Mary's flirting with all the kiddos. We seem to be having some stress when you get home from Mary's - you are so tired but you just scream at me because you don't want to take a nap! Then, daddy comes home and you are all smiles making me look like I am lying when I say you are fussy :)

Today, it was time to see Great Gramma. I was holding you in the kitchen and she came around the corner. Your whole face lit up, you gave her a big gasp and your big smile! But, you wouldn't show her your tooth or do your new mouth noises. Maybe you did later when I wasn't there When you got home, we got you all fed and waited for Baby Jake to come over and hang out with us. He got here around 7 and you crashed at 8 so you guys didn't play together. But, you were a jealous fool and it was kind of funny!! I held him and this little demon Elijah came out. I told your dad that it makes me wonder about bringing me another baby in the house! On one hand, another baby would be good because you wouldn't be able to be so spoiled. On the other hand, it would be difficult to put up with demon Elijah! I do have to say that I missed some of those little baby noises that Jake was making and how he cuddles on my tummy. You are getting so big so quick it was amazing how those times flew by so quickly.

Tomorrow, we are hanging out with Great Gramma to make enchiladas. Sunday, daddy's cousin and aunt from Missouri are coming in and want to meet you! I am hoping that we can get you in a pool sometime this hot, sticky weekend.
