Ari Milestones

This is going to be a "quick" post today with heavy pictures and video and mostly about Ari. 

Last weekend we stayed home and had a nice relaxing weekend. I had a few sessions. Anthony took the kids on a bike ride. 

 

Ari ate his first peanut butter and jelly sandwich which he loved.......

 

He also began taking his first steps on his own which led to stair climbing and all sorts of other crazy things!!

Before this video was taken he had taken about 4 steps. 

Then the stair climbing. He has no fear and a lot of bruises on his forehead to prove it. 

I caught him climbing on the jungle gym in our back yard almost to the top. He has no fear. 

Anthony has worked nights this week so everything has been a little weird. 

Lilliana is oh so sweet but into EVERYTHING. I guess it is the age but at times I want to tear my hair out. She got into old makeup the one day and well you can see what she did............

 

Eli is being pretty good other than picking fights with Lilliana. I took this picture for a project with kids his age. It was freezing the morning I took it. 

 

The weather has been a little crazy. This week we had to go to the basement for the first time for a tornado. It was not that close to us but close enough it made me nervous. Eli won't be quiet about tornados now and anytime there is a cloud he is a nervous wreck one will come get us. I have decided I am going to make them have tornado drills because he just panicked when I told him we needed to quickly and safely go to the basement. If you know any childhood stories I am famous for my drills...........I use to make my sisters do fire drills as a kid. HAHA They were silly enough to follow it but it is a family joke. 

The real fun this week was I let them play in the mud.

  Then Ari did another milestone which was standing up from sitting.......These pictures are poorly composed due the fact I was just snapping and didn't take the time to not chop limbs but you get the picture.

This little boy turned 11 months yesterday. I will get to his photos today. We have a wonderful weekend planned and I can't wait to share about it next week. Have a happy Friday!
