1ST Best Day EVER

Today Ezekiel informed us that Jesus lives in his heart. We were SO EXCITED!!!!

I asked him when and where he asked Jesus into his heart and he said, "The other day while I was digging in the back yard."

I hope this is a little picture of his future, taking steps to and for Christ all on HIS OWN!

Titus is 4 Months

Four fun facts for Titus:

*Weighs 16 pounds 4 ounces (80%), 26 inches long (90%), & wears 6-9 month clothes.

*He is sleeping about 7-9 hours at night and eats about every three hours durning the day. Titus LOVES to be held/rocked to sleep. He is a mover as he falls asleep so it is sometimes a challenge to keep him from waking himself up.

*He likes a pacifier, but has also learned to spit it out as well as pull it out of his mouth. He get so frustrated when he pulls it out of his mouth, but sometimes he gets at least part of it back in.

*Titus LOVES company. In fact if he is left alone he cries, but if he can see people he is totally happy. His favorite people are his brothers. Ezekiel can make him get the biggest smile and laugh like crazy. Eli loves to sit on him, lay on him, and inform us of Titus' every action. Titus actually will laugh after being sat upon by Eli.

These Days...

we have been doing a LOT of this...

Eli sees a specialist on Thursday to see what is going on with this 12 week cough!

Good Teacher

Ezekiel is an excellent teacher. He is constantly showing, telling, and teaching Eli to do all sorts of stuff. While sometimes it is thing we don't wish Eli to learn, most of the time is great!

Here Ezekiel is reading to Eli and teaching him all the colors of the cars. He even got Eli to say blue, something mommy and daddy cannot do.

Park Days

A good park day always includes tree climbing

and tons of food

Titus' First Swing

For the first time we went to the park and Titus got to enjoy the swings.

He really liked them and even got the pleasure of having his big brother push him.

The second visit resulted in a nap in the swings...of course I didn't have the camera, but after crying the entire time during the walk he was so tuckered out he just had to nap.

Baby Eli

Eli is enjoying the baby seats way more than he ever did when they were actually his size. There are a number of times I come out to find him sitting in the swing or the bouncer seat.

Puzzle Master

Ezekiel has become the puzzle master. He can now complete them totally unassisted! He also likes helping with big, grown up puzzles. This is a new and fun entertainment.

Fun Mornings

seems to include sitting on mommy's head.

Can you see the little bit of her head...

The boys thought this was so fun and hilarious.

The Counter

Not sure what is so appealing about sitting on the counter, but the boys love to be upper there when mom is in the kitchen. Can't blame them...their mom was the same way!

New Hiding Place

The boys have a new spot they love to play and hide in...behind the rocker. They are constantly climbing over the rocker and falling into the bean bags that are kept in back. They have so much fun back there and when one of them can't be found, it is the first place to check- they are usually there.

These are the Moments

That make a mother smile and cry at the same time...

Peanut Butter For Eli

This all dates back to about a month ago. I had given the boys pancakes for breakfast and at that time I knew Zeke likes peanut butter and syrup while Eli, I thought, just preferred syrup. Well...Zeke left the table and Eli proceeded to his plate. At first he looked at the pancake, then he smelled the pancake, then he LICKED the pancake, and FINALLY he started to indulge in his brother's pancakes. So from now on....

Eli get peanut butter and syrup as well!

New Year 2011
