Fa lalalala

These pics are from a few months ago, but they are so darn cute, we had to put em up.
We've been working on Elijah's reading skills... I think he's making progress.

Its been hard at times with tony working so much this week, but it just makes us more grateful for the time that we do get to hang out.
Tony has been working every day, like 16 hour days. This is Tony hard at work.

Winter fashion/Tuesdays with Elijah

I made Evie try on a winter hat because, you know, it can be cold. So maybe its a little big, but i think she liked it.


Elijah even came over for a look.


OK, so it was my hat. But I think she wears it well for a teeny. Here is what our day is looking like.

This is usually how breakfast goes. Elijah doesnt know the names of all the cereals so i just point until I get the Yes dance. You'll see what Im talking about....I normally dont buy sugar cereals, unless you count variations of cheerios. So I dont know how elijah knew to be so excited about this one.



Here is what dinner can look like. Evie loves when elijah comes around and plays.


Mealtimes can be funny.

In other news, I am currently writing my LAST paper for the semester, then I have only to take four exams, and then we are off to our trip around America, starting in Disneyworld!!

Please, milkies.

Evie likes to play in blankets. Dont worry, if a blanket is near, she is fully supervised. (by me too, not just elijah)

So elijah gets into the fridge ALL.THE.TIME. now. We need one of those fridge lock thingys. He especially likes to get all of the supplies out for what he wants, then brings me in to do the dirty work i.e. pour the drink. He sometimes can pour it himself with me helping, but I prefer to do it myself and avoid the mess.

Seriously, he set this out himself. He can hardly reach the counter, yet he got it all out and set it all up there.




Check out baby einstein takin a bath
Bubbles, maaan. Bubbles.

Kind of fishy....

The kisses, that is. She's like a little fishy.




Just try and tell me you are not excited to get in on this action for the holidays, family people.

The Big 8

So Evie turned 8 months last week. WHERE DOES THE TIME GO. seriously, this girl was born yesterday right? I just brought her home from the hospital didn't I? She is still adorably tiny, but looking back at her little premie pictures, she has come a long way.
Anyways, she finally cut some teeth, well, one.. tooth. Working on a second one i think. She's not crawling yet, she likes to lift up her arms and legs and sort of swim on the floor. She is getting pretty good at rolling to whatever destination she aims for. Today I found her practically halfway under the couch, her little legs at least, because she had rolled herself all the way from the middle of the living over there to play with a blanket while i did dishes. When elijah was 8 months he was already standing and almost walking along the furniture, but little Evie is going to be my tiny roll-y poll-y baby forever.


Here she is wearing her Sleep Sack which, by the way, is AWESOME. She was a pretty good sleeper before, but since Grandma Debbie got this for her, she sleeps, no kidding, from like 9 to 9 almost EVERY night. Elijah is two and has yet to be on that sort of schedule. His sleep schedule includes -wake up at two am and sneak into mommy and daddy's bed. I think Evie has crawling in her near future....

she loves that tongue.

And still prefers the fingers to a binky. Two-thirds of the way to one year.

Apparently, I need to feed elijah more because lately he seems to be eating anything that gets left on the counter. My lovely banana bread got ravaged by a certain two year old today.
