Joey - you are still not walking. Now, I am starting to feel a bit worried. I hope that happens soon.
- You are starting to get a lot more animated. You are a feisty one, dear boy. You get so mad when Elijah takes your toys.
- You are giving big wet kisses. You blow kisses.
- You are so cute when you say "All done" or "Night Night."
- Your hair goes so crazy fast. We got it cut again.
- You really want to play with the big boys but it is hard to keep up when they are running.
Elijah - you are a strange combination of a loving little sweetheart and a brat. One minute, you will be so sweetly polite and the next minute you will hit someone. One minute, you will say "I love you" out of the blue and the next minute you will push Joey down. I am guessing that is the joys of a two year old in the house!
- You start school tomorrow. We have plenty of backpacks for you to use this year.
- You are kind of obsessed with beer. You asked where Grampa was and I said "I don't know." You said "He is having a beer." I bought some tequila and you said "Why are you buying beer? I don't drink beer because I don't have a big tummy." So funny but I really don't know where you are getting it from.
- You are constantly worried that bigfoot is going to come get us.
- One night, out of the blue, you woke up in the middle of the night and you started telling me about the "guys in the blue light that wanted you to come with them." It was the weirdest thing EVER. You were dead asleep talking about "them guys talking to me." Then, you reached up and stroked my face twice. Really flipped me out.
- You are kind of a wimpy thing. You get hurt really easy. You are scared of a lot. Dad says we need to toughen you up.
- You are polite. You do say please and thank you. You do say excuse me when you burp or fart. When I ask you if you want something, you say "No thank you."
- You have a mixed relationship with Joey. He is your baby and you look out for him. But, he also is your nemesis when he wants to play with your belongings. Which, according to you, is every belonging in the house.
OK, so, what have we been up to in the last month or so? Here are some photos in random order....
