just a little update...

daddy: coaching lots of baseball, spending all other waking hours writing IEPs (which if you don't know what those are...be glad!) and trying to finish up his research for his specialist, all while being a great husband and father. i'm sure he will be glad when summer comes and he doesn't have anymore classes to take...though i do keep reminding him that we will have a newborn in our house again. so much for relaxing, huh?

mommy: growing and stretching, and not doing a lot of sleeping...which is how this blog was birthed. freaking out about having two little ones in the house and trying to rest when she can. oh yes, and attending lots of showers for little sisters--weddings and babies.

eli: talking more and more. he is saying all kinds of words: please, momma (finally!), juice, shoes, hands, socks, ears, orange, ba--which is his paci, ball, bat, hat, emmy and bec, and he yells, "jack!" whenever his friend jack is around. he is throwing everything and even has this cute little wind-up when holding a ball. he is also pitching lots of fits daily. hey, he may be small for his age, but he is advanced when it comes to acting like a "terrible two". he is doing better sleeping, most nights. he yells at the baseball games when daddy yells and he loves to talk whenever there is someone close to his size nearby. he has also discovered dirt and rocks, and likes to throw them both.

new baby: moving around, growing, and kicking "his" mommy so hard she stops dead in her tracks.

so what's the meaning behind the "his" mommy? your hunch, i guess?!

just start teaching eli to say ty and maybe you'll win Chris over!

Glad Eli is finally saying Momma, and that he's sleeping better!

IEP time... yucky! I'm glad Claire isn't the only who took forever to say momma! She called me Bobby for a while... hope you are having a great Monday!
