Phone Pics from August

We had a onesie overload earlier in the month.

Eli giving his sissy kisses!

Where did my shorts go Mom!?!

Emory at the Messy Olympics a few weeks ago at church. She has slime, shaving cream, and Cheetos on her head. She STUNK but she had lots of fun!

Cason and Eli in their sports pj's.

Cason wanted to take a picture since they both "matched!"

Eli is teething and his frozen teething toys feel real good on his swollen gums.

I cook dinner and Eli chews and watches!

An Apple A Day

Last Tuesday Eli tried apples for the first time.

 

He loved them. He ate the entire container of apples plus some cereal.

He is a growing boy!

He also thinks he is a pro at eating now and likes to "feed" himself! Last night he tried sweet potatoes for the first time and loved those too!

Eli's First Taste of Food

A few weeks ago (08/08/16) Eli got his first taste of cereal. He wasn't too sure about it at first.

Very first bite!

Eli's face after his first bite of cereal! I think he is thinking, what is this stuff!

New bib and several bites later he still isn't too sure!

First Day of School

Today was the kids first day of school. Emory is officially a second grader and Cason is in Kindergarten. Cason says the best thing about Kindergarten is NO naps!



I can't believe Emory is already in second grade. Seems like yesterday she just started school. 

Cason has on his new tennis shoes that make him jump extra high! He picked them out over the summer after seeing a commercial for them.

Silly back to school picture! 

They both couldn't wait to get to their classrooms and my wanting to take a picture by the sign was slowing them down!

Peek-a-boo

Someone was playing peek-a-boo instead of napping this weekend!

4 Month Check-Up

Eli had his 4 month check-up today. He weighs 15.4 pounds (44th percentile) and is 25.5 inches long (63rd percentile). He gained 2 pounds and over 2 inches from his 2 month visit. He smiled and talked during his exam but then got very mad during his ear exam. Apparently he does not like people putting things in his ears!

He had a good check-up and is on target or above with all his milestones. He handled his 4 month shots much better than his 2 month ones with only a few tears shed.  

He is such a sweet little boy!!!

(He scratched his eye with his finger nails which seem to grow long every night!)
