Few moments from the week

I let LJ sign all the thank you notes from his birthday party with- for the first and last time for a while- markers! His hands (and things he touched) were a mess!! He insisted on holding the markers at their tips! Back to crayons for a while!!





LJ's new trick- getting anything he wants in high up places by moving his chair and standing on it to reach what he wants! Here he is going for snacks in our pantry! I asked him what he was doing, and he turned around and very seriously told me 'Getting my snacks.' Nothing is safe from his reach!


A little cuddle time/ nap with Evan! LJ never napped with me like this so I am really loving the snuggles!!


And he's awake!


We had our first real 'incident' with LJ hurting Evan this week. I had just changed both their diapers, and they were lying next to each other on the floor. LJ was rolling towards Evan and saying "Hi baby Evan" and being sweet...then he rolled over and bit him in the forehead! It was so sad! I don't think LJ realized he was hurting him - but he still went straight into timeout! Evan had a red mark across his forehead (see above his left eyebrow) and cried ...


But he got over it pretty quickly... Poor little brother!


LJ made this 'Monster mask' at school!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
