cookie monster

Thankyou big sister Krisalyn for helping us all to see what a true Cookie Monster looks like. Poor Elijah; being our 4th child has put him somewhat at a disadvantage for mom and dads watchful eye. There are so many needs being met all at once that sometimes things or instances like this one, go unnoticed until it's too late. But to his advantage, big sister has been sneeking him some pretty yummy treats! I was trying to put the kids to bed. Bre and Gabi first since they have school in the morning and when I came back in the room, Krisalyn had given Elijah an Oreo Cookie. He had destroyed the thing, NO TEETH yet mind you! Enjoy this little photo collage! I hope it makes you smile like it did me!

Elijah is 8 months old

I am a few days late posting since EJ was 8 months on the 25th of September, but better late than never right! No new huge milestones but he is talking some. Dadda, Momma, laughing. The usual at his age. Still no crawling, but the girls never did crawl. Just went straight to the walking. He's still 22lbs. and has grown another half inch at 29 1/2 inches. Again shall I say, Future Dallas Cowboy!

Play Ball

Breaunna has been asking her daddy to play some ball with her and even though today was a bit hot outside we packed up all four kids, each of their gloves, some baseballs and a bat and headed down to the park near our house. I think all the kids had a good time. Even Krisalyn took a turn trying to hit the ball with her daddy. But as usual her favorite thing was to swing. You will notice she soared above her daddy's fingertips, all the while laughing and saying higher, higher. Wonderful memories made today.

Sibling Love

All of the kids can be sweet to one another when they want. Elijah has found a new best friend in Krisalyn, and Krisalyn in Elijah now that both her big sisters are in school. I took this pic of Eli and Kris together. He kept laughing at her. Funny thing is, they are close to 2 years apart. Both of them can wear 18 month clothing.

A Hairy Ordeal

My sweet little Elijah recieved his first professional haircut. Mommy gave him his first second and third at home but had started letting it get long, loving those little developing locks. But daddy won the battle and a haircut was in the works for our little 7 month old. He sat on a booster unasisted like a big boy. Mommy supplied the tears and took some photos. You will notice Elijahs tears half way through but they didn't last long. And he was happy to look at himself in the mirror. Uh ooh, do I spot a future pretty boy!

THIS WAS TAKEN YESTERDAY, PRE HAIRCUT
