We're alive and kickin!

So it's been a month. Do you miss me?! I have been so busy and more exhausted than ever. I work everyday 9-6 or 6:30 and by the time I get home and feed (if Mom hasn't done that already) and bathe the boys, it is time for bed....and bedtime, really, is a huge joke to Izaak, so I'm just wiped out! (Unless he is at his dads...he sleeps perfect for him there, apparently!! WTH?!) I miss the boys like CRAZY when they are with their dad, but it definitely gives me a chance to "recharge."


Eli is doing FANTASTIC. He had an allergic reaction to Amoxicillin a few weeks ago. and it was TERRIBLE. (pictures below) He was a trooper though, for sure. He would really only itch his feet if he was laying down for a nap or bed. He couldn't wear shoes for 2 days because his feet were so swollen...it was so miserable to watch him look the way he did. He woke up one morning with his eyes nearly swollen shut. It was sooo incredibly scary, for sure. He is much better now and has been healthy ever since. (hopefully this doesn't jinx us!)
He is talking up a STORM. It is so fun to hear all of the fun things he is coming up with...he is actually talking in sentences. I absolutely love it! He can answer questions, and can actually make decisions. (like one day when I asked him if he wanted corn or green beans, he answered me "beans please") He absolutely adores Izaak, unless he is playing with something he wants, then its "No, NO Bubba." or "NO, BAD I-I" Its lovely really. He has pushed Izaak a few times, in order to get him out of the way of his wants....but Izaak gets up and pushes him RIGHT back out of the way! I'm in for it, that is for sure.
Eli is still in preschool and is doing amazing there too. His teacher is amazing and Eli and I adore her. Its great that he is in the same place that I am. His teacher brings him to me sometimes and its so fun to be able to see him and know he is doing well and having fun. It was rough the first few times he would see me, but for the most part he gives me hugs and kisses, then goes right back in with his teacher!

Izaak is doing fabulous as well! He turns 1 at the end of April...so I'm currently planning that birthday party! He is also WALLLLKING and has been for a few weeks now. He gets so excited and squeals when he is doing it. It is so funny to watch a "normal" kid try to learn to walk and succeed. Eli wasn't exactly a "normal" walker. He was like a ping-pong ball bouncing off walls and furniature and walking like a drunken sailor falling all over the place all the time. But it is so fun that I have 2 walking boys now! I loves it!
Izaak also loves his brother very much. He sees him and his face lights up and usually he walks over to him and slaps him. (hahahaha...tis true...its so very endearing!) He loves cars! He will play with a car on the floor forever. The boys favorite thing to do right now is play in their tent together. It is adorable. :) Izaak is a bit sneaky....and will probably be that way forever. He is just quiet with his approach to anything. Eli just has to put on a show for everything! They are so different!
They make me so happy! So here are some pictures from the last month! I got a new phone....so some of them aren't my "camera" quality, but they are still lovely! I will upload pictures from my camera soon...hopefully in a few minutes!

one of the NICEST days we have had, we had a little picnic outside for dinner. this was before our weather decided to be bi-polar and go back to the 40s. Eli obviously loves corn. to the point where yesterday morning when he was eating breakfast he said "Mama, where my corn?"

love this kid :)

we took a walk last week and of course my mom had this great idea to stop by the park. except eli doesnt care about the park if there is a basketball or court involved. he didn't swing, slide or play on anything. he stole a basketball from these teenagers (who were great and didn't care) and tried to dribble the ball and chased it everywhere for about 30 minutes. You should have heard/seen the scene he caused upon our departure. You would have thought someone had beat him.
