I woke up this morning thoroughly tired!! It was just one of those days! Some mornings I make coffee and some I don't it just depends on how awake or not I am. This morning was a I NEED COFFEE morning!! I also remembered when I was at the grocery store on Sunday I had just ground some fresh stuff so I was very excited about that. I have not been buying it since it is nearly $9.00 a lb up almost two dollars! I got it on sale though so I bought some. Needless to say the smell and taste was amazing! It was well worth the wait of not having it for a while and resorting to can coffee. My friend Jennifer made me the cup several years ago at a pottery place. It still is my favorite cup and if it ever breaks I will be soo upset. It says, "Somethings are just better Rich Men, Chocolate, and Coffee...."
Eli got to go to Aunt Toni's today which normally does not happen as she works on Tuesdays. From what I hear he had a blast and got to play with a new little boy. We sure missed him today to the point I put off my walk and run until this evening so he could go with us. I am glad he got to go though. It is good for him and I love that Anthony's family loves him so much. I also love that he is sooo good so they are willing to take him whenever.
That meant Lilliana and I had time to play and we took a nap together. She loves sleeping in the crook of my arm. I got up before she did so she continued to sleep. It did not look that comfy but this child amazes me as she will sleep anywhere!
I have been talking about doing this for a week now. I have a mental list of milestones I want to capture of Lilliana. Well she has been doing awesome baby push-ups for a bit now and I wanted to capture it before she stops. I wish I had been better about things like this with Eli. Then again I did not have nearly as nice of camera so having a new camera helps so I can capture her fast movements. Oh well. I remembered certain things I have forgotten with her. Everyone can't be the same. All that to say I did get some cute ones. They may not have been what I originally pictured but they did come out pretty cute
Of course by the end she was trying to wrap herself in her blanket and chew on it. I had to stop as we were taking these on top of the kitchen table and I did not want her rolling off. I think I need an assistant sometimes!!:) I also would like to point out how much I just love her little fat rolls on her arms. Four perfect little rolls and creases!! How could you not love a chubby baby like her?!?
When Eli came home we at and went for a run/walk and then visited the park for about 30 minutes. Eli had a blast. Although he was getting frustrated with another little girl who was very well Ill just say it annoying and had no manners and was being a bully. I had to get after her a few times but Eli held his ground for which I was happy.
Finally he is tall enough to walk across these bars. He has tried last summer and the beginning of spring and finally he has started doing it. He is getting to be sooo big!
The other day I spotted this in our front yard when I was leaving to go to town.....
Today I took pictures of this great mushroom. Eli was beside himself in the stroller strapped in as I made him sit there so I could get a picture before I let him pick it. Finally I let him out and let him pick it! What do you know that kid thought it was a sucker and took a big old lick!!! I had to stop him so he did not get sick! Silly kid. I wish I had gotten a picture of that. It was too dangerous to try to recreate so we settled for some other ones.
After all that fun we came in and Eli got to play before bath and bed. He asked for my headband and this is what he did with it. He also wanted his camera to take a picture of it!! This kids catches on real quick! His camera was full from him just holding down the shutter button so after he went to bed I took this! This kid has such an imagination and is just too smart. Everyday he amazes me!
I love my kids! They really make days so fun and worth it. In the past I have been overwhelmed but I am getting into the groove of things and Eli is getting so big and learning so much I am loving every minute of it. I would not change my life or job for a single thing! I AM BLESSED!
