Pumpkins!

Helllo. Not too much to really report right now. Eli is growing like a weed, and for the most part is the happiest little boy ever. He is sooooooooooooo busy. My mom said that she doesn't remember any of us being so busy, but Zach's mom says that Eli is JUST like Zach was. So I am afraid we are in for it! ha! We got his pictures taken at Ft. Benjamin Harrison last weekend, and he smiled for 1 picture. GRRRRRRR. I have my camera in this kids face EVERYDAY, and he smiles for me but he didn't smile for the photographer, except one time! We got some cute ones, and a really good family picture, as soon as she posts them, I will let everyone know! But for now here are some pictures of recently!

p.s. Help is needed....my bestie Steph is having issues with Carter and sleeping. He will sleep with her, but refuses to sleep in his crib. (last night he cried for quite sometime) She is such an amazing mommy, and I feel awful for her. I even offered for him to stay the night, and I would deal with him for a night....she said she couldn't. hahaha. But if anyone has any suggestions, personal experience, or an idea, please let me know, so I can relay the message to her. She is miserable and so so tired and I want to help her in any way I can. Thanks! :)

Hello friends. I dont really have much to report, other than I'm tired. haha!

Eli is doing wonderfully. We made it through our first stage of teething without any deaths (i'm speaking of myself..hahaha). He got his 1st bottom tooth, and his 2 inscisors (spell check there)...which is weird, and not the "proper" order, but whatever! He was more clingy than anything, and if you had to pee...forget it, he was going to cry about it. But after all of the horror stories I have heard of babies teething, I am so very thankful for my pukin and the sleep he allowed me to have. (We had 2 rough nights of sleep, where eventually I just put him in bed with us b/c I had to work in the morning)

Other than that, our little man is PERFECT. He is the cutest, happiest, most spoiled thing you've ever seen. I hate working, because it means I don't get to spend my days with him, but I think its good for all of us! haha! I cherish my evenings with E and Zach. Its exactly what I imagined my family would be. (And for those of you wondering, no, I am in no rush to be married. Somedays I think I am, but what is the rush now? Things are wonderful. So thanks for worrying about it, but WE are perfectly happy.) I can't get enough of it. He is going to be 8 months tomorrow! He is soo big and old! I'm ready for another one...and I never thought I'd say that! hahahaha! :)

So having said that...here are some more pictures. Sorry if you are tired of them! :) haha!

photoshoot with his sweet overalls! :)






Everything is hilarious when you are 8 months old! I keep telling him "you just wait buddy."






I am not buying anymore toys. This kid plays with everything he is NOT supposed to play with.


my big boy!


and he's done. "No more pictures, lady"


so handsome.




Bryce's best friend Cory graduated from Ball State, and they finally had a Graduation Party for him! :) way to go Cor Cor!




I made E's last bottle for the night, sat it on the floor, and walked back into the kitchen for something...only to return to find this. He was using his diaper bag as a pillow and feeding himself. . .apparently he was tired of waiting.


Eli loves to look out the window at the dogs playing.


"What woman? You are interupting me!"


Playing peekaboo with Daddy! I found them playing when I was doing laundry. Its moments like this you cherish. love my boys!






Hope all is well everywhere! :)
