I have no witty title

I'm hoping to fill this bit here with very good and exciting news next time, but for now let's get to what you come here to read...

Week 27:

I am always busy busy. Every time I roll onto my belly I try to crawl, even if it's in the middle of the night and I'm sleeping. I kick the chair while I eat and I pull off every sock I can to put it into my mouth. I love NPR and it helps me calm down in the car, even more so than music. I had my 6 month check-up and I weighed 16 lbs 10 oz (32nd percentile), was 26 7/8 inches long (56th percentile) and my head was in the 88th percentile! The doctor pushed for 3 meals a day to help me keep growing. I'm still a smartie.

Week 28:

I like to kiss myself in the mirror and I love splashing in the tub. Eli, in particular, thinks this is hilarious and once he gets laughing I get laughing. I laugh when mom blows her nose and I have a super ticklish belly. Mom thought I had an ear infection (it was on it's way- the doctor called it "a B+ on a curve") and I weighed 17lbs 3 oz. That food is working it's magic. Dad brought me back these cute armadillos from his work trip to Texas!

Eli:

I tried to pick up Anias when mom wasn't looking for the first time. I told mom,, "the spiders are spidering." I call Gatorade "alligator" and when I help mom cook I tell her, "we're bakers mama." When mom was putting me to bed and singing me lullabies, I had a special request- the pepperoni song.

ha!

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
