Cousins

Baby Oliver!! What a cute little man. I love that he is so happy and smiles all the time. We are going to be good friends, lol.
The Boys!!! I look like a tired momma, but Eliot and Oliver sure had fun seeing each other.

Eliot all snug in his bed!!


Tired from sitting with sister watching her play at the park!



Tummy time boys! I love watching them, they are at completely different stages even though they are only 9 (I think) weeks apart!




The cute little fellas hanging out.





Emma and Eliot

Always wanting to hold her brother!! She sure loves him.
Likes to lay by him and talk to him. He actually talks to Emma the most. She gets in his face and says "Eliot, Eliot, Eliot" and tells him that it is okay and asks him why he is crying. What a good mother already, lol. She also loves to give him nose kiss by rubbing her nose in his, he likes it and just opens his mouth so he can eat it, lol.

My children!!


Emma Clair

Our little Emma is turning into a fine young lady. She has the best manners and I am not sure where she got them, but we will certainly keep them, lol. I will be cleaning and she says, "Oh, thank you for mopping mom, or thank you for picking that up" I just smile at her and say "Your Welcom" She is so tender and sweet. When she doesn't get enough sleep she is different person so we definately try to get her to bed on time. She loves to play outside even when the days aren't that great.



Emma's bed for the next few days while Aunt Ellen and Hal gal and Oliver visited us. Thanks for coming Ell, I had a great time and appreciate all your help.
We took the kids to the spray park to play one afternoon. The girls were excited to ride the merry go ride.

Halle and Emma cooling off.


Modeling a new outfit from Grandma Pauline, she loves it by the way. It is a perfect Emma outfit. She wore it to church today and looked just gorgeous. Thank you



Oh, she is getting quite the imagination. She pulled all her bears out and put them in a circle and started to pray with them. She is good at folding her arms now and she bowed her head and started saying " Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day, thank you for my family, and some more stuff then, Amen" It was so cute that she knows that and she is pretending with her animals. She loves Nursery and always comes home happy and sings the Primary songs all night. It is so precious to see this sweet side of Emma come out and she will be a wonderful example to little Eliot!!!




My little darling Emma. She is so loving and beautiful!!

ELIOT'S Blessing

We had a party to celebrate Eliot getting blessed on Saturday the 3rd. All of Jake's family were there and some friends. We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and had lots of salads and treats. Later we listened to patriotic music and had a bonfire and fireworks. Emma had a great time and was so wore out. It was a lot of fun to get together and celebrate our little suprise!!!


Thank you Rena for the cute John Deere hat and bib. I needed a hat really bad for him and it came at the prefect time. It was quite cold over the weekend so it can in handy!!

Cameron and his wife Lexi came to support us and party!!!


Emma and cousin Lexi eating some food!!



Eliot all tired from a day at church.




Mommy and her special baby boy!!!





What a precious boy!






He looked good! I only had one choice in a blessing outfit, but it looked really cute on him.








He was great for the blessing. A lot of family were able to stand in the circle and even some of Jake's friends. It was cool. Eliot just sat there and peeked out of his big blue eyes!!







Eliot

Looks like he is getting ready to fight with his fists.





Kinda looks like a smile, but I think he is getting mad and starting to cry.



He likes his bouncer seat for a few minutes, then he realizes he is not being held and whines until you pick him up.

















Eliot 5 weeks old

Although Eliot is growing, he is still fussy and seems uncomfortable. I finally called the doctor and let him know and they think that he can't digest the dairy products that I am eating. The poor little guys stomache can't handle what I eat, so I am to stay off all dairy products for two weeks to see if that makes a difference. So far I haven't seen much change, because his tummy still gurgles and he is hurting somewhere. I sure hope that things look better for us, cause I am getting exhausted not sleeping and having to hold him all the time. We will see next week what the doctor says next.


His hand is grabbing his blue bear, I thought it was cute!!
Tummy time!! He is trying to eat the pillow.

Cute little, I mean big feet, LOL !!!


Not sure why I have red eye, but he is a cute cute boy.



Emma holding brother. She loves to hold him and supports him well.

Eliot a month old

Eliot is now a month old today. It has gone by so fast and I feel like there is no time document his growing and changing. He is getting bigger and starting to get cubby cheeks. He is only fussy when he needs to burp, spit up, or is going to the bathroom. I am starting to figure him out and know what he wants. He started smiling this week. I love it and feel so much joy when I talk to him and he grins at me.



Emma wants to hold Eliot often and is very gentle. She is always worried about him and if she doesn't see him she will ask "Where is Eliot." and I tell her in where he is and she always says " I wann see him" and she looks at him and says " Oh mom, he is so cute, he is cute mom." It is safe to say she loves her brother and is kinda protective of him already.

He has dark blue eyes now, they actually kinda match the blue of his outfit. She is just so cute!!




My little boy a month old, all stretched out and growing so fast.



My two little babies!! Oh how I love them so. I think they definatly look like siblings here!!




Emma Clair

Our little Emma is getting big!! She has gone two weeks now without wetting the bed, so that is exciting. She gets a special treat when she wakes up and is dry so she makes sure to tell me to give her her treat. She loves Eliot Ronald and is a wonderful big sister. When he cries she tries to help him, but when I lay him down to kick around, she goes to him and lays down and talks to him. He likes her and knows her voice. Emma gets excited for such little things and has the most wonderful manners which I don't know where she learned. The other day I picked up a toy and she said "thank you mom for picking up that toy." Or she says "Thanks for feeding the dogs." I put on some clothes to go to town and she says "that is a cute shirt mom." I just melts my heart that she is so polite and sincere. I am so glad that we got such a beautiful caring girl!!


Emma plays outside all the time by herself, and she is safe cause we live in the middle of nowhere, I am constantly looking out window to see where she is checking on her cause I am paranoid that she will get hurt or do something she shouldn't. She loves her dogs and plays with them all the time. I was outside with her working on the yard and went in for a minute to check on the baby and looked out to see her walking in just balling. I was panicing cause there was blook dripping from her nose and all in her mouth. Well she was playing with the dogs out in the dirt and tripped and scraped her face up pretty good. She got a bloody nose and it all went into her mouth because she was crying so hard. I cleaned her up in the shower and gave her a nap. When she woke up there were scratches all the way down her face. Oh I felt bad and when I for a second she happened to get hurt. She is tough and will learn to pick her feet up I guess.

We went to library story time and it was about Pirates. They made pirate hats and an eye patch. She enjoys book and has a fun time doing the craft.



It looked like she had chocolate for something all over her nose and people kept asking me what it was. I told them a scab and they all felt bad for her because it looked horrible. She ended up picking her scab off this morning so hopefully it won't be a big scar.


Eliot growing up

Having a boy is turning out to be a joy!! I just love my little boy so much and can't imagine life without him now. It seemed so hard to have two kids just a few weeks ago, but things are getting easier and easier. He is a great baby and makes me happy.


Jake and Eliot spending some quality time together, lol.
He is starting to take his pacifier now. It still pops out a lot and he doesn't really need it, but it makes him happy for a minute.

Eliot is awake a lot more and is fun to watch him wiggle and just stare. He is such a good boy.


Emma just loves her brother and to be by him.




Emma and Eliot!!
