Interview with Eli

I have seen these interviews in several places, but recently Mel and Carrie both did them with their almost four year olds and I thought it would be fun to do with Eli. At first he was all excited about answering questions, but he quickly tired of it! It took all day, but I finally have the answers he had! Fun!

From Baby to Big Boy

Ian turned 1 1/2 yesterday. He is doing so much, constantly on the go. He has become rather 'bossy', demanding "carry me", "puffs", "outside" and "no"! His language has really blossemed, I no longer have any concerns about it. He is so brave, climbing anything he sees without any hesitation. He is starting to enjoy cuddling and will even sometimes asked to be rocked! This morning after I got done teaching I checked my cell phone and I had a picture message from my husband. He had taken Ian to the barber and gotten his hair cut! We have gotten Ian's hair trimmed three times, but it is SHORT! He no longer looks like my baby, but my little boy. Here are some pictures before and after:

Lounging

I love that our dog is so mellow!

Licking the Beaters!

Generally the job of licking off the beaters when I bake is reserved for Eli and Joe, but last Friday both of the older boys were gone and so Ian got the treat and he loved it!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! The boys all went for their baskets at the same time and I didn't have the camera ready, so I got a few pictures of Eli looking for his and Ian after he had already found his. Joe already had his basket torn apart before I got to him.
Ian threw everything out of his basket and stopped when he found his chocolate bunny and ripped it open!
Eli found his and was most excited about his new Woody Story movie!
He had messed with his old movie and it was no longer playing, so he got the newly released edition. Joe got Toy Story 2. They all got other small things and I'm sure they will get more later today from the Grandparents.
