Evan is 10 months / LJ is 2 years, 8 months


At 10 months, Evan is really getting a little personality! 

A few things about our 10 month old:
- He still has no teeth!
- Isn't crawling yet- but getting closer. Pulled up from sitting to standing (while still holding onto something) a few times.
- Cruising along ottoman or from me to couch
- Babbling a lot!
- Still so happy. If he cries, there is a reason (and usually easily fixed). 
- Takes 2 naps a day- usually at least one longer one (2+ hours)
- Usually sleeps through the night (11+ hours)
- Usually eats 4 bottles a day/ about 26 ounces of formula. Also eats 2-3 meals and snacks as convenient/ wanted; He LOVES eating food! We give him almost anything we are eating- except we stay away from too spicy, and he hasn't had fish (or honey which he can't have!). 
- Doesn't really drink out of sippy or straw cups. But loves when I give him sips of water from a cup. Still not great bottle drinker... but we get it down!
- He loves bath time, splashing, swimming... all water!
- Loves his brother! LJ makes him laugh so much. And as long as LJ is being gentle (which is a minute to minute battle!), he is a GREAT big brother! He plays with Evan, gets him toys, sings to him (like if he starts crying in the car, LJ will start singing ABCs for him!), talks to him... It's cuter and cuter every day!

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...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
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...
