This month is flying by! I can't believe it is half over. We have had a lot going on ...
Elijah & mommy got a hair cut. Elijah's hair is shaved off short. Our on-going joke is "Elijah, where is all your hair?" He responds "It is all gone. I got haircut."
You guys went to Bounce U with your daddy & Aunt Laura & your cousins. You all had a great time!
We went to feed the ducks again. We took more bread this time but I think we have learned it is a 2 loaf minimum :)
You waiting for the choo-choo. You were even talking to the choo-choo "Choo-choo, I am here. Come on."
You went to the park with your Auntie Cindy & Auntie Becky. You really enjoyed that. Unfortunately, the day after, your Great Gramma Dorothy died. She sure did love seeing you boys. Oh my goodness, you guys made her so happy from the day you were born until the day she died. You brought her great happiness with each visit. We took you up to the visitation so you could see your Blankman family. We didn't know what to do with Elijah but had a general agreement to keep you away from the casket. Of course, you ran right up there. You came back to me and you told me "Gramma sleeping. Gramma wake up mommy." You killed me buddy! Since then, you have asked me more than once if "Gramma still sleeping?"
We had Jake's Birthday party and you guys loved playing outside and in the sprinkler Auntie Sheila set up.
You had an overnight visit with Debbie and Morgan. I think you guys had a great time!!
Joey got sick from a virus at daycare so we have been dealing with that for awhile. But, it is looking up for the rest of the week.
Just some miscellaneous stuff...
Joey is getting a lot better at pulling himself up. During bath time, he pulls himself up to tell me he is done. He is also starting to scoot off the chair. He thinks he is such hot stuff. He is really getting ready to walk soon! He says "Mom" so cute - he puckers out his lip when he says it. He is also trying to mimic words.
Elijah is continuing to amaze us with all the words he knows. The thing is that he uses them in the correct context. We are working on counting at bed time and he is up to 6 on his own. He has told us a couple of times "Daddy/Mommy, I happy." :) We are still working on trying to curb the annoying screaming and getting him to listen. You also had your first neighbor play time. Most of the time, the kids come to our house to play on the swing set. This week, you went over their back yard to play. You were so funny - you were standing in the back yard screaming "Hey guys, want to come play on my swing set? Hey guys, can you hear me? Hey guys, are you listening to me?" Eventually, you got to play with your "guys" next door.
Well, guys, a couple of weeks and we are off on vacation together. One whole week together and we are planning a visit to Denver!! Talk to you soon.
