Hey buddy!

Not a ton to share this week, buddy!  Most of our time together is us playing in bed or on the love sac.  For the rest of the time, you are just hanging out with daddy.  Like I mentioned last week, it kills me that you have gone from a Mama's Boy to a daddy's boy.  But, I know your daddy likes getting more of your attention!

Most days, we are at home.  You play with your toys, you play on your iPad, we watch TV and mommy complains about how much pain she is in  :)  This week, we did get to see our friends Sandy & John.  You acted like you owned the place!  Then, we did get to see Gramma Debi D, Mr. Pepsi and Great Gramma Marianne too.  While I worked on Saturday, you spend a few hours with Morgan, Debbie and Shane.  They said you were really good for them!

But, what I don't understand, my love, is why when others tell you no, you listen.  When I tell you no, you giggle.  For example, when we saw Gramma Debi D, she said "Elijah, no."  You stopped and started curling your lip.  If that were me, you would have laughed and moved on.  I guess I need more practice with the skunk eye and evil voice.

Tonight at dinner, I put a scoop of sunflower seeds on your plate.  They were a BIG hit!  You loved eating them.  Daddy just shakes his head and says "You are your mother."  I tell him it is because you were raised in utero on seeds and altoids  :)

You are back to liking your bath time - thank goodness!  With you being outside so much, you need more frequent baths.  We are also brushing your teeth every day.  You get so excited when I say "Let's go brush your teeth."  Today, you decided to do it yourself!  I think you just like the taste of the paste.

Daddy is working on your bathroom.  He is painting it white and we are all geared up for the Mickey Mouse transformation.  Hopefully, it will be done this week because he is booked this weekend working on getting our bedroom redone for Joey.  You have a big weekend this weekend - your first trip without Mom & Dad.  I sure hope those Cvilikai know what they are getting themselves into  :)

You seem to be feeling better.  The drops in your ears are helping and the nose spray seems to be helping too.  It is quite the routine we have going - you are such a big boy and you let us give them to you.  But, afterwards, I have to let you give them to me too  :)  Thankfully, they have lids on them but it makes you feel like a BIG BOY!!

Developmentally, you are obsessed with putting your shoes on.  You will sit there for a lot of minutes playing with them.  You will now tell me that a duck says "Quack."  When I say "Thank you" you will say it back to me.  You will now hand us stuff that you shouldn't have.  For example, you picked up a penny and ran over to give it to me.  You are starting to pick up after yourself a bit - putting your stuff back and such.

Well buddy, somewhat of a busy week.  Daddy has an event on Tuesday so you will hang out with Aunt Laura while he does that.  Then, Friday, we have to get you ready for your weekend vacation!
