Biskit wants to play too!

I can count to 12!

Zane started counting to 12 yesterday! Eleven sounds like "Le-na-na". It's funny! Elijah has been teaching his ABC's every day. He says it with Elijah "A,B,C...YEAH!!"

Oh what am I to do?!

What a face!

I am counting to 10!!!

I can't believe he is counting to 10! He has gone from counting to 5, to counting to 8, and now 10 within 1 week. He can also identify 8 colors. It is amazing how much they soak up and learn at this age, it is a joy to watch. He is getting to where he doesn't like being wet and tells me when he poops so I think we will begin some potty training since he has shown some basic signs of readiness. Hopefully that will go as well as the counting!

Here's my muscles!

Zane loves to flex his muscles when we ask him to. He got it from a Wiggles video titled "Growing Strong." He grunts while he does it like a body builder!

Elijah's Christmas Choral Ensemble

Elijah had a Christmas Ensemble at school tonight. He has been taking Chorus as an extra club at school all year. He loves to sing! It was really cute and he did a good job.

Elijah is the boy in between the girls!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

This is Vincent, Brian's cousin, and Elijah. Elijah loves Vince to pieces! We ate lunch at Brian's Aunts house and spent dinner with my family. Elijah wanted me to take him out at 4:00 am for the Black Friday sales so I did. We ended up coming home from Thanksgiving and staying up the rest of the night. Then we left at 3:45 to get to Sears and Kohls by 4 so we could stand in line and freeze. We had a good time! It is important for us to spend individual time with our kids one on one. Brian and I both like to do things with both kids on their own. Brian takes Elijah out to stores that they both have interest in and I do the same with him. Elijah and Zane spend a lot of time together too. They are very close. Elijah is the typical over-protective big brother.

Elijah and Hannah wrestling in the yard!

Hannah, Sarah and Elijah are all very close in age and they enjoy aggrivating each other whenever they can.

Zane was admiring Molly's tree. So far this year he hasn't taken any ornaments off of my tree. I taught him to touch with his finger not to grab and it' working so far.

Eating with Dad!

There is a mirror right in front of Zane on the wall so he was making faces at himself and laughing while his Dad was holding him. That is Aunt Bobby, and Aunt Molly, Brian's Aunts.
