Eli and his cold

Eli has caught a cold. He woke up yesterday sounding a little horse and by last night his nose was running like a leaky faucet. He woke up this morning with a cough and I said to him "I think you caught a cold." He quickly told me "No, I didn't. I don't like being cold!"

We're Lucky He Doesn't Have a Car!

So today while Eli was having issues because I wouldn't let him store the Wii controllers in his room, he said to me "I'm running away!". Now, I have thought about how I would handle this when it happened, but I always thought that I would have to put up the bike or take the car keys, not stop him from stomping off down the hallway!!!!

Ian's Four Month Pics

His first cereal...check out how he grabbed the spoon!



Eli and Ian checking each other out during tummy time.

So, I shared Ian's stats from the doctor, but waited until yesterday to take some four month shots. He is such a happy baby when his reflux isn't flaring!

Ian's Four Month Check-Up

We had Ian's 4 month appointment today. He weighed 15 lbs. 8 ozs., was 24 inches and his head was 16 inches. We have a short, chunky baby! He is in the 75% for weight and 25% for height! They upped his reflux med, as he has been having a lot of problems with it lately, so hopefully that helps him. If not, there is another medicine that we will try. Hopefully soon he will outgrow it. He showed off for our physician, talking to him, smiling and laughing and holding his head up s

My brother, Jonathan, and Ian. My brother and his wife are expecting their third child in April. They have two girls and are expecting a surprise baby! Can't wait to meet him/her!!

Daddy and the boys reading at night. Early on in Eli's life it became a custom that Daddy would read to Eli and night and I was not allowed around. They have started to read to Ian too and as you can see he is totally into it! My husband is a wonderful dad and I love that he loves to read to them!

Happy Valentine's Day!

My husband totally shocked me for Valentine's this year! He got me a Wii Fit! I have been wanting for a while, but we had said that we were just going to do little gifts from the kids. I have used it twice now and it is pretty fun. Hopefully it helps me to get my butt in shape!

Ian's song

I love to sing songs to my boys even though I sound terrible. I make up little songs and sing them to familiar tunes. Ian's current fave is sung to Frere Jacques and goes:
Ian Scott, Ian Scott
Eyes so blue, eyes so blue
Mommy loves you, mommy loves you
Yes I do, Yes I do
