Freeze!

Yesterday morning Jonah put on Logan's robe and ran around the train table like he always does when "she'll be coming around the mountain" is on. I was trying to take a pic and I said "freeze" so he held out his hands and froze for the pic. Then he kept on going again and again and again. meanwhile...Eli was entertaining himself with his reflection. And yes...his hair is still missing in the back and on the sides.

hmmm...silly or not so silly?

I think this video speaks for itself.

Like father, Like sons

One more thing.... after Eli finished his bottle they all assumed their position in front of the TV.

Freedom!

Finally, after 4 long months, Eli took the bottle. And that's all I have to say 'cause I have some beers to drink! :)

What up Rainy Dayz

There have been quite a few rainy days lately. usually we are in our PJs most of the day and I am struggling to find ways to entertain until Chris gets home. The other morning we were building yet another train track in Jonah's room so I put Eli in Jonah's bed. This is what unfolded. Eli was actually enjoying it. Jonah wasn't quite ready to share his pillow. After doing this for a while we moved on to castle building and Eli moved to the exersaucer. Miracle of all miracles both boys are sleeping right now!!! Jonah who never naps any where other than the car is asleep on our bed and Eli is in his fav place...the swing. Just a short post but the pics were too cute not to put up.

I'm finally joining the modern blogger world

I know, I know we should have done this a long time ago. Finally, after getting so frustrated with Kodak and their one photo at a time upload...and then being too exhausted to then add captions, I decided enough is enough. So here we go...

First things first: Eli found his feet! Two days after his 4 month check up when the doctor asked me if he had found his feet and, after searching my memory bank trying to remember if I've seen him grab his feet or what "find his feet" even means, feeling like a bad mom 'cause I hadn't noticed this milestone, I replied "hmmm um, I don't know." And here we go. he loves his feet. And, apparently his thumb....fingers crossed that doesn't last.

We took my dad to the SF Zoo one sunny afternoon so he could experience the joy of watching/helping Jonah feed the giraffes. We pack up Eli, Jonah, snacks, jackets etc. Of course Jonah falls asleep in the car on the way there (he still refuses to nap at home but the second we are in the car he is out for over an hour) so we wake him up so we don't miss the 4pm feeding. As we happily walk 5 miles to the Zoo (okay not 5 miles but it felt like it!) in the brisk breeze, we remember previous feedings where Jonah has been licked, and has given bananas and leaves. Now that he is super excited to share this event with "papa" we should have expected a sign on the Giraffe Barn that read "closed today" oops. Here is a pic of my dad holding Jonah up while Jonah is yelling to the giraffes "sorry I can't feed you today giraffes, I'm sorry."

Then Eli got hungry/fussy so I had to feed him in front of the flamingos. That was good freezing times. My dad said that they were white when we got there (they blushed...get it?!). That's all for now. Eli is waking up and I have to get dressed before Chris and Jonah get home from My Gym.
