since I have written on here...I thought life was busy before- now it is busier than ever. Being a working mother of 3 is crazy...I am so grateful that I do not have to get the kids ready in the morning. Chris does a great job with the kids and we are blessed to each have our own time with our children.
Lilly started fall storytime (yes, Chris takes all three to the library once a week at 10 am) and she loves to tell me the story they read that day. She also started Sunday school a few weeks ago and loves it. Chris and I are so worried about what she is going to do or say. The first class she told us she was naughty because she sang too loud?!? This past Sunday I went to get her because I wanted to ask the teacher if she is good...well when I walked in the room she was the only one up on the "stage" and the other kids were sitting down coloring. I asked the teacher if she listens and she said that "she is full of personality". So you can decide what that means :). The teacher then said she got hurt so she let her do what she wanted because she was really upset. (I knew that was a bad choice because Lilly will try to do what she wants everytime...we'll see tomorrow.) Chris and I have been talking to her about listening and taking turns because she loves to entertain and to talk! So, yes, I agree she is full of personality but she needs to learn to listen! Anyway...
Lilly is the best big sister ever. Eli cries and will not calm down when he is hungry- tonight as I am making his bottle Lilly stands in front of him and says "it's okay E. calm down, calm down" in a very calming way (so cute!) and then she dances around trying to get him to laugh or smile. Now that Eli and Ella are watching every move she makes she will perform! She absolutely adores her "little babies" (as she calls them).
Ella and Eli are 6 months old today! I can NOT believe it...half a year old. Where does the time go? I am always asking myself that- one minute I look at the clock and it's lunch time, the next time I look it is supper time, then baths, books, and bed! And that is on the weekend!! Now imagine what it's like during the work week...I know you know what it is like! :)
At 6 months, Ella loves to hang on to our fingers and stand up. She stands up so proud and looks all around. She will make a loud screaming/growling noise...it is so funny! She tries to suck her thumb at night when I put her in her crib, but I quickly replace it with her paci.
Eli, at 6 months, is rolling all over the place. If he can't get to something by rolling he will try to scoot. Whatever he gets a hold of goes straight to his mouth. He talks up a storm and makes gurgling noises all the time, with a very serious look on his face...it is the cutest little face ever!
Eli and Ella tried baby food last weekend. Their first veggie was peas. At first they did not know what to think...but the next day they liked them. The next veggie they tried was carrots. Ella loved them from the very first bite that she kept her mouth open wide while I gave Eli his bite. Eli wasn't sure at first, but again like the peas started to enjoy the carrots. I can't wait to try the fruits with them!
Like Lilly, the babes love music...so we all sing all the time and we enjoy the time we get to have with one another!! We are truly blessed and grateful for our family!
