Bath videos

Hi buddy!
You were so funny on Wednesday night.  We went to LaCasa for dinner - mommy needed a night off from cooking.  When we were walking out, your daddy was carrying you facing forward.  You were smiling and waving at all the customers on the way out.  Kind of like his royal highness waving to his subjects!  You ate good at LaCasa - ravioli, pizza, lasagna!

Today, I picked you up and you started saying "Bye" to all the daycare kids.  I was shocked but I guess that you say that a lot to the kids at daycare.  Heck, at home, I barely get a wave when you leave in the morning but your friends get an actual word out of your mouth - rotten child  :)  You played with Baby Jake & Auntie Val over Gramma's house then we went to dinner at Sortinos with Auntie Val and Gramma.

When we got home, we took a quick bath and I was taking your video just for fun.  You are so silly in the tub.  I love the part where you eat the rag, I say "ICK" and you turn to smile at me.  You just think you are so cute that you can get away with anything if you smile at me.  Half the time, it does work  :)

Daycare pages

Hi Lijah!
You have been busy this week.  You hung out with Gramma Debbie 2 days and Grampa Keith/Heather one day.  Your social calendar is so full  :)  Once you get home, we are boring.  Dinner, play, bed.

You know what one of my favorite things is?  After I change your diaper, you will stand up and put your little hands on my face, smile and give me a big hug or kiss.  I doubt most people would recognize these activities as hugs or kisses but, as your mommy, I know what they are.  :)

I got some photos from Mary with you & your daycare friends.  I finally got around to scrapping them for your book.  I am 98% done with your book.  Just have to do the cover and the opening page.  Good thing to be caught up because when Joey comes, I probably won't have time to do any scrapping!!

Hi Buddy!
Not too much to share with you this week.  Home a lot, you were crabby and you didn't sleep a lot.  You have a sinus infection and it is really impacting your ability to sleep.  You are taking short, short naps and you are going to bed really late.  We finally took you to the doctor yesterday & you don't have an ear infection but she said that there is pressure on your ears from the sinus infection so you are probably in pain.  All we can do is give you Tylenol to ward off the pain and antibiotics to clear up the infection.  We missed swim lessons again because you weren't feeling good but we did get to see Auntie Becky & Uncle Steve in Lincoln.  You wore Auntie Becky out - she was chasing you all over the house and walking with you all over the house.  :)

One thing to share with you - when you lay on me, your brother just loves to kick up a storm.  I always tell you "Elijah, your brother is saying 'Hi, big brother! Hi, Elijah!'"

We don't have big plans this upcoming week but hopefully, you will feel better soon and we can be back to normal with activities.

I have a scrapbook page to share with you - you were being a silly billy today with  my glasses & you looked so cute.  You were hamming it up and you were loving having my glasses on your face  :)

January 16

Hey baby!
It has been a long week.  You have been having a hard time sleeping then at the end of the week, you got sick - coughing, congestion, crabbiness.  We ended up keeping you home from daycare on Friday because we were worried that you would not be good at daycare.  You were in good spirits but you weren't yourself.

On Saturday, we went to lunch and had some time to kill so we went to the Zoo.  You enjoyed the people more than you enjoyed the aquarium or jungle.






You were so worn out after the zoo & took a nap before you went to Brandi & Jeff's while mommy & daddy went out.



On Sunday, you were in big trouble Mister.  You were taking daddy's soda and he said "Elijah, can I have my soda back?"  You said "No" and turned your back on him.  Uh-oh, we are screwed if you are lippy this early!  You & Daddy hung out while I went out for awhile then we ran errands and had dinner.  I got a new phone so I took this silly video of you & daddy being silly.

Even More Scrapbook pages

Hi baby!
We have been pretty boring.  We have been doing a great job of eating at home and hanging out at home.  Good on the checkbook but boring on the blog  :)

I have a cute story for you.  When you go up the stairs, I always so "Go, go, go."  Now, you can say it too.  You were going up the stairs tonight and started saying "Go, go, go" and I didn't even say it first!  You are so funny.

Also, you were such a big boy tonight.  You helped me unload the dishwasher.  I was getting the dishes out and you came up and started handing me the silverware to put away.  Granted, it was piece by piece and it took a bit longer but it is a good start to your earning your keep around here.  :)

Well, buddy, not much else to share.  We don't have a ton of things coming up to share either  :)

More Scrapbook pages

Hi Buddy!
We had our swim lessons today & they didn't go quite as I expected.  I haven't looked at the photos so I will have to get those for you later.  You know how daddy said that you were acting like mommy at Chuck E Cheese and he was rolling his eyes?  Well, today, you were acting like your daddy and your mommy was rolling her eyes.  You cried as soon as we got in the water.  You were clinging to me like you were going to drown.  I think the water was a bit cold for you - by the end of the lesson, you were chattering your teeth.  Overall, you did really good for your first time.  You went under twice - and didn't scream.  You took a few mouthfuls of water and didn't scream.  You were on your back and on your tummy.  Our instructor was proud at how well you did - even if Mommy was rolling her eyes at your drama  :)

After lessons and nappy, you hung out with daddy for a LONG time.  You guys went to the bowling alley to visit friends.  Mommy relaxed and did scrapbook pages all afternoon/evening.  It was AWESOME.  But, you & I will hang out all day tomorrow when Daddy goes to the Chiefs game.

So, here are your recent scrapbook pages & I will add your swim lesson photos shorly.
