Catch up

Hi Elijah!
It has been nearly 3 weeks since I talked to you here and I feel guilty!  We are busy living our lives and it doesn't leave much time to write every detail down.  We have had a ton going on lately and you are changing every day!

In the past few weeks, you have...
*Learned how to cuss and mommy takes the blame
*Learned how to spit and daddy takes the blame
*Started singing to your brother when he cries
*Remembered how to say the word NO and use it over and over
*Developed a love for Handy Manny cartoons.
*Started calling Andrew by his name - "Andy"
*Had your last soccer tots class & received a little certificate
*Learned to climb out of your crib and are forced to wear a sleep sack now
*Went swimming at funplex and accosted a little 4 month old girl because you couldn't give her enough kisses and love!
*Went potty lots of times on the big potty chair
*Spent lots of time with your various families (being babysat, baptism festivities, road trips)
*Played a lot with Jake (who now says "Eli")
*Went to Joey's baptism
*Had the biggest face plant ever on the concrete
*Went to the dr for a check up on your cooties (27+ lbs now)
*Went to Missouri to see the Brigham family & spend time with your Mickelson cousins.
*Accosted another little girl at the Brigham birthday party.  This time, I could barely get you away from her.
*Did a great job in the car during our road trip.

You change so much each day.  You say new words and I don't know where they come from (Well, except the cuss word - I know where that one comes from).  Your smiles still make my heart swell.  When you ham it up and flirt with everyone, I have to laugh - I love watching you in action.

During our road trip, I slept with you twice and and dad slept with you once.  All 3 nights, you basically kicked us out of the bed so you could sleep horizontally.  We joked that it was easier sleeping with Joey & waking for feedings that sleeping with you as such a bed hog.

You like to be a big helper.  You love helping burp Joey.  You like helping daddy with laundry.  You loved helping mommy make pickles in the food processor.  You unpacked your toys immediately at the hotel and lined them up so you could see all that you had available to you.

Other than that buddy, not a whole lot going on.  Today, you went to daycare for the first time with Joey and I can't wait to hear how it went.  When I asked you if Joey could go to Mary's with you, you said "No."  I hope the day got better!!

You are such a dork with your glasses!

Your last day of soccer tots.

You & your buddy Morgan at Funplex.


Again with the glasses...

Your injury... It got even worse with time.
