Time lapse on the swing

I was just going through my phone on the train home last week and I came across these pictures of Elijah in the same swing at the city park. One was from around 1 year old all the way up until now. I thought it would be neat to put them chronologically in a blog post so you (and mostly I) can see how much this darling boy has grown. Enjoy!

I wear my headphones at night

  Check out Elijah and his new, orange (or as he says "orangiz") headphones! We wouldn't normally have bought these for him, but at his last hearing test he wouldn't wear the headphones they needed him to wear to test his hearing levels. So they suggested we buy him some and let him get used to using them, so he wouldn't be scared of them. This is day one, hour one and he is doing great. The silver lining? We don't have to listen to his shows! Hahah.

Look Who's Sitting Up!

Happy rainy Saturday!  We got our first batch of good old Fall rain! It's been a wonderful day indoors so far.
I just had to share with you that Lucas is sitting up, by himself as of today! I guess he was finally able to balance the gigantic melon. HAHA. SO Woo Hoo! but at the same time BOO HOO!  Our little guy is growing up so fast!
Hope your Saturday is as fun filled as ours. Love -K

Love this happy boy!

Look Ma! I can sit up all by myself!

Like Mother, Like Son?

So what do you think? Do we look anything alike?

Good Morning!

Happy Tuesday!

Milestone Alert!- Roll Over

"Three bears in the bed and the little one said 'roll over, roll over' so they all rolled over..."

Just like I predicted Lucas started rolling over both ways this past week. I have of course, included a video, but the disclaimer is he was pretty tired and hungry so it took him a while to roll over and he only wanted to go one direction.  Enjoy!

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Our little Lucas has had a cold this past week. I'm pretty sure we've seen the worst of it, which is a relief. Just to show you he's feeling pretty good these days here's a video!

Ok and one jumping too from last week.

And we hit a milestone this past week... But that's for tomorrow!!!

More Potty Talk

Just had to share these great pictures with you.  Elijah said he had to go to the potty again the other day, so we ran in and put him on the pot. He said he wanted to read, so I handed him the magazine and  in true male fashion, continued to sit on the john with Smithsonian magazine, flipping through the pages until he was "all done!"  Hope you get as good a laugh out of this as I did. 

 

Almost sitting up at Six months

  Lucas is getting so close to sitting up by himself. We've seen a big strength growth jut in the last week. He can balance his head (hahah) pretty well and pull himself back up from a leaning forward position. I am pretty sure in a week or two I will be writing to tell you he's doing it all by himself!

More Stories from Oma's

Concentration is the name of the game

Well it's Monday. We have been having so much fun, there hasn't been a minute to update you, until now.  Elijah is swimming in the pool with Aaron and mom, Emery is reading on the couch and Lucas is sleeping. Whew.
Here's what we have done so far
1. Swim
2. Watch Tennis at NMSU
3. Swim
4. Farm & Ranch Museum where they have live animals (cows, goats, sheep, horses, ponies, bunnies, and the occasional lizard!)
5. Swim
6. Play & Relax

We also went out to a great breakfast yesterday morning at Josefina's Old Gate in Mesilla, walked around Mesilla and even got a babysitter so that mom, Emery, Aaron and I could go out to a nice dinner at St. Clair's Winery! WHAT A TREAT!!!!! The boys did great for the sitter and everyone was sleeping (sans the sitter) when we got home at the late hour of...9:00. haha.
Here are some pictures of the things we have been enjoying.  I will try to post at least one or two more time before we depart back to reality.
