11 Months Old

Eli Grant you are 11 months old!

You are such a happy little guy! You smile at everyone and have the cutest little laugh. Your big sister and brother are great at getting you going to! You love them so.

You are wearing size 12 month clothes and a size 4 diaper. You are a big boy! You now have 8 teeth with the latest one finally breaking through this past weekend. You are almost able to stand by yourself and I think you will be walking independently soon. You are everywhere and into everything!  

You are talking up a storm these days and have started calling your pacifier Do-Do, as in Do-Re-Mi. You have also started waving and saying hi (eye) whenever someone comes in the door! You love to dance and have mastered drinking out of a sippy cup! Your new favorite food is potatoes and have a love for baked potatoes just like your sissy and brother!

You have been showing your strong willed side lately too. When you want something you go for it until you get it and you do not like it when someone tells you no.

You are a little fire cracker and we love you very very much Eli!

First Strike

Emory's class earned a bowling party so Friday after school we headed to the bowling ally. Emory bowled her first strike and was SUPER excited about it! Here she is giving me her strike pose! All the kids had a blast bowling!

Kindergarten President Project

Cason's class is learning about the Presidents and Mrs. Duke asked each student to pick a President to tell the class about. Cason chose James A. Garfield because he looked the most like Paul Bunyan! He presented on Friday and was super excited!  

Cason and Daddy worked very hard on his poster. He was very happy to tell Mrs. Duke that he glued everything to the poster!

He kept his poster board hidden from the class until it was time. It was a secret!

He did a great job telling the class about James A. Garfield and then answered every one's questions!  

Eli enjoyed watching from his stroller while snacking!

10 Months Old

Eli Grant you are 10 months old today!

You are still wearing 9 and 12 month clothes and a size 4 diaper. You have 6 teeth with two more on the way. You are an excellent eater and enjoy food! Your favorites are peas, sweet corn, green beans, apples, pears, blueberries and oatmeal!!

You are quite the little talker these days. You can say mama, dada, baba, uh oh, hi, and a bunch of other things that we aren't quite sure what they mean. The other day your big sister and brother were arguing and you let them know real quick that you didn't like it by giving them quite the scolding, which made them laugh!

You are always on the move and getting into everything. You have finally decided that crawling on all fours isn't that bad and have started crawling more but you still sometimes prefer the army crawl. You are walking and standing with assistance. This past week you have really started to let go when standing and have managed to stay up unassisted for a few seconds. You are a strong little boy!

You love doors, drawers and anything that moves. You are quite the little explorer and venture into other rooms. You usually wake up once during the night and take one nap during the day.

You are a little giggle box and are always smiling. You are really starting to understand things and already know what no and sugars mean. You love giving out sugars! You are such a sweet little thing! We love you very much Eli!

Big Britches

Somebody thinks they are to big to take a nap!

I have a new little helper in the kitchen too!

Emory's Birthday Bash

This year we celebrated Emory's birthday with a small family party. Emory asked for Subway sandwiches and chips so that is what we ate for lunch.

She picked out and designed her cake/cupcake combo herself. She went with pink camo and purple tiara's of course! She also oversaw the placement of the candles.

Opening presents.

She loved the bacon card Cason picked out for her.

Eli had fun at the party!

Cason had a great time too!  

Cason gave Emory crutches and a cast for her American girl doll. She LOVED them. I think it won the prize as her favorite gift!
