Valentine's

Happy Valentine's Day!
This is Eli giving me my Valentine's Day card. You can't beat that cutie pie! Best Valentine's ever! Absolutely everything goes into the mouth!

Now that Eli is sitting up the boys have decided it is time to start crawling lessons. They worked hard trying to help cousin Eli to crawl.

Aunt Aunnie and Eli. It is hard to believe he is already sitting up. He is very excited about it too. He loves being able to sit and play with his toys. I think he just has so many little friends that can sit up that he was determined to do it too. It sure makes life easier around here.



Sam and Eli cuddling watching cartoons. I think this might be one of my favorite pictures of all times. I think it is really obvious the family resemblence. Jake and Sam came Friday night to hang with us while Mom and Dad got away for a date.


The boys were so helpful while they were here. Eli just loved them doting all over him.

Fun with friends!

I am amazed everyday by Eli. I am a part of a Moms group through church that I enjoy so much. It has been so wonderful to have other Moms to talk to, share with, and learn from. It has been exciting to see all Eli's friends grow too. How neat to see friendships already forming. He really enjoys our lunch playdates. I look forward to the children growing up together.
Eli and his friend Story playing. We also caught them holding hands!!

On the left is Noah. He was being quite the comedian and Eli and bottom left Addison
thought he was so funny.

Top is Eli's friend Crosby just getting this walking thing down. Bottom is Eli's friend and backdoor nieghbor Addison.







The weather has been so beautiful, so Eli and I met Sarah and Sadie at the park.
This was Eli's first swing in the big swing. He and Sadie thought is was so much fun.



Eli is starting to try and sit up on his own!




Here is Eli hanging out with "his girl" Taylor! We went to visit our friends Holly and Charlie in New Bern for the weekend. We had to keep a close eye on these two! Below is a picture of Eli after his bath. He was not so sure about being wrapped in a #1 princess towel of Taylor's. I tried to explain to him that real men wear pink....he still wasn't so sure about it.


We've had some gorgious days here weather in the 70's. Dad and Eli were caught checking out the bird house. No one was home though.


This was a quick and surprise visit from Aunt Aunnie!I was loving having some one help out with a little fussy Eli and Eli was enjoying Aunt Aunnie because sometimes Mom gets a little boring.
