Waiting for Spring to Come

Us Minnesotans are longing for springtime and hoping that it will come soon. I am still trying to come up with ways to entertain and play with Eli indoors; I am really looking forward to when we can go on walks to the parks again.

Eli is getting so good at throwing and making baskets in his basketball hoop.

March 2013

Eli is such a delight. He is getting better and better at feeding himself. He is even feeding himself with a fork and spoon sometimes. Fruit continues to be his favorite food. Eli does enjoy scrambled cheesy eggs and he eats a lot of broccoli. 

Eli now will sign thank you and he will say thank as he signs it. It is so sweet! Eli loves to give kisses; it is so cute to see him kiss his stuffed animals.

He is signing for more yogurt

Eating his Cherrios

Eli is such a handsome boy!

Eli and Mommy playing in the tent that Grandma Meyer made for him last Christmas. Eli loves collecting all of his stuffed animals and bringing them into his tent to play.

He Shoots, He Scores!

We were hanging out in the living room this evening and looked up to see Eli happily putting all of his stuffed animals in his basketball hoop. I laughed and told Brian to get his camera. Brian was getting ready to take a picture of Eli and his animals, as Eli looked at the camera and gave us a big cheesy grin. He must be learning that you give a big smile when you look at the camera! He is such a funny little character.

Eli is now loving to make all different kinds of animal noises. He makes noises for dogs, kitties, monkeys, lions, and bears. It is so cute!

Another big grin!

Daddy got Eli this cute little ball cap. He is getting him ready for baseball season.

Eli has the sweetest smile

Eli colors his first picture!

Eli loves to look at books. He will sit on our laps as we read 10 books at a time. Eli will bring us the books that he wants us to read to him.

Eli looks like such a big boy coloring at his little table. 

16 Weeks Pregnant

We get to find out the gender of the baby on April 3rd, only a month away!

Sitting in his new rocking chair from Great Nana Chaplin. We had leftover money from Great Nana from Christmas and got Eli this rocking chair from her. He loves it!

Relaxing in his special chair

Eli sure is a happy boy!

Riding his rocking horse like a big boy!

Eli loves the noises that the horse makes when you push on his ears.

Auntie Karen is coming over this afternoon to babysit so that Daddy and Mommy can go on a date!

Baby #2 on the Way!

We are thrilled to welcome our next bundle of joy this August. We found out that we were pregnant right before Christmas and it was the best gift to tell our families in person over the Christmas celebrations. It has been an easy pregnancy, like before with Eli. I have been very tired so I have tried to take naps when Eli is napping. I am now almost 16 weeks so I will need to take a new picture this weekend and post it. I am going to be taking one picture every month and I will be wearing this same outfit to show how my belly grows.
