On the night you were born...

Well, Anias cried for nearly 5 hours straight this morning and I have a 4 day long headache (allergies?) so  this is going to be a short one! I finished up Anias' projects a few weeks ago, but forgot to post pictures so here they are. We did the same for Eli, so it's nice to keep it going.
I made these modge podge collages from the daily newspaper on their birthdate and they both have quotes from this book, which ironically we don't own.

I had my 6 week follow-up and am down 20 lbs, but I'm hoping to get some of that other 30 off soon. Getting a little break at the Y will be nice too.

Anias: Week 5

I only woke up once at night twice this week! I'm starting to outgrow 3 month clothing, especially those pants with the feet. My feet are just too big. I accidentally rolled over on the couch this week, but mom doesn't count it because of the big dip she made on the couch cushion while she was pregnant. I'm still a smiley and happy boy, even though my tummy gives me some trouble. I adore my daddy! He always gets the most smiles out of me, but when I cry I definitely need mom.

Anias: Week 6

My hair is getting to be a lighter! It's more brown than black now. I'm super super smiley in the morning. I was so glad that my cousin, Kamiree, and my Aunt Shiree came to visit me this week.  Shiree is the best and bouncing me around until I pass out. She carries me around like a football, and I absolutely love it. We tried to go to my first pumpkin patch, but after mom drove all the way to Portland, we found out it was closed! Mom and dad got our first official family pictures and I looked absolutely adorable! Thanks grandma for the cute outfit!

Eli

I like to pretend that the bath is Adventure Bay, where there are constant oil leaks and Zuma has to save the day. I call Anias my "little friend" and I like to hold his hand and be nice to him. When we're praying at night, I tell God what I'm thankful for, including my name and our house. One day I was doing yoga on the rug in the living room and mom asked what I was doing. She said, "Are you doing  yoga?" and I said, "No, I doing rug." One day when I was supposed to be asleep and mom was out with aunt Shiree, dad found me with the iPad in their bed. I said, "What? I watching the iPad." I have no idea why I was in trouble. I like to bring my wallet along to car rides and "pay" with my credit cards. This ensures I get whatever snack I want. I tell mom, "Jesus made my owie feel better." I love playing hide and seek with Kamiree and I'm going to miss her SO much!

The Velveteen Rabbit

We’re at week 32! Only 8 more weeks to go. Yesterday we had our final baby shower and it was just adorable. My in-laws threw us a Velveteen Rabbit themed shower. Take a look at these pictures my sister-in-law took of all the sweet decorations. Isn’t it just adorable? I was so sad to tear down the diaper cake, but that wreath is going to go on his nursery door I’m sure. Eli is so lucky to have a crafty grandmother. Not only did she decorate the shower, but she also made him a ton of personalized burp cloths, onesies, pants, blankets, and bibs. Aren’t they soooo cute? I’m thinking about changing his going home outfit to be his little lion onesie she made him with his name embroidered on it. We’ll have to see! Oh and that bear backpack! Isn’t it precious? I can’t wait to pack it up for him to go out to his Mimi’s. He’ll just love it.                     Now for his week 32 check in… Weight Gain:   29 lbs in 32 weeks. Crazy! I did gain 5 of those lbs wh

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

I’m so depressed! The Halloween party we were planning was cancelled (yea-that means we cancelled it). I LOVE love love Halloween, but I’m okay with a low-key night since many of our friends are going to be out of town the weekend we had planned to throw the party. Last year Josh and I spent time handing out candy to neighbor kids and watching the shining. Of course I decorated like crazy, but this year I think I’ll probably keep the decorating outdoors and use the food to celebrate the occasion. Here’s what I had planned food-wise for the Halloween Party. For (eh-hem, real food) snacks.         Trick or Treat Turnovers                                                       Pizza Mummies For crunching and munching on                   Scarecrow Crunch For dessert       Candy Corn Rice Krispies                        Monster Mash Pudding                  Pretzel and Brownie Skeletons I’ll probably let Josh pick out what I make for the occasion since all of it looks SO good

Ready Set, Have You Met...

In the event you don't know, the end of that lyric is "Robocar Poli" which has been playing often in this house lately. Anias and Eli both love it, and with the spiders, ticks, rain, and overall grouchiness of a sleep deprived almost 2 year old I'm just going to roll with it. Josh and I have been busy trying to fix up the house, but unlike those before and after seemingly instant photos it's taking over a month to just finish what we've already started, but we're getting closer! We're taking a long weekend together without the kids this week up in Chicago and I'm excited! It will be nice to explore a new place and see one of my favorite all-time bands: Beach House. Anias: 23 Months I say new words like ...Poli (requesting the show Robocar Poli), mowing, kick it, mint, bike, night night, eat it, cereal, battery, sheep, chick, here you go Mama My favorite food is ...macaroni, but I also like hamburgers and won't hardly have a m
