He Did It!

Today, my precious little baby boy (Eli) rolled over for the first time!

Hubs and I were cleaning up the living room, and he was on his activity mat....and the next thing we knew he was on his belly.  :)

I, unfortunately, haven't caught him in action.....but I will try to this week!

Here is my sweet little guy right after he rolled to his belly for the first time!  :)

A Milestone Has Been Reached!

Last week my darling little lady mastered the art of walking.  :)

Oh, and PS....sorry about all the toys strewn about.  Well, I guess I shouldn't apologize....this is what my house look like 90% of the time.  

Hope you are having a great day!  What accomplishments have your kiddos been up to lately?

Adorable Things!

Man, Jack has been SUPER cute over the last few days.  He is so sweet.

He told me, for the first time, this morning:  "Read Please".  He wanted me to read him his Bernstein Bears book for the millionth time.  I hate that book, it is boring....lol.  But, he loves it!


I was going to the bathroom a few minutes ago, and he pushed open the door and started exploring the toilet paper.  I was explaining to him that once he started using the big boy potty he would use toilet paper, and not baby wipes.  Well....he ran out of the room after my explanation.  I figured he was going off to play with one of his toys....but, about a minute later he bursts back through the door....baby wipes in hand.  It was hysterical.  Thanks for making sure Mama has a clean bum.  HAHA!

Jacker's is ALWAYS helpful.  He will gives sissy a bottle, blanket, or whatever else she might be "needing".  He really is an awesome big brother.  :)

My Baby Boy

So...a couple of days ago, I did a post about my nearly 6 month old.

And today, I thought I would do a post about my almost 18 month old.  :)

He is a very inquisitive boy.  He needs to know how EVERYTHING works.

And if you don't allow him to explore (things like the OVEN), he throws a little fit.

Which I think is adorable.  When I smile, or even giggle, he gets even more upset.  Lol.

He hates getting his teeth, and walks around with his finger in his mouth (or a paci, he just chews on it) most of the time.

He loves his sister and gives her kisses all the time.  And "pet" her head whenever I say "gentle Jackers".

Oh, I forgot to mention.  He is a dancer!  He will twirl and twirl and twirl until he can't see straight.  Little booger.

I am so thankful for my wonderful children.  I wouldn't want to live without them.  They are my world.

Exploding Vocabulary

My Jackers is a man of few words...well, until the last couple of days that is.

His vocabulary is EXPLODING!. About a week ago he could only say: dad, go, yeah...and that's about it.

But, now....he can say:

dog
kitty cat (cat itty)
grandpa (and pa)
Makenna (k na)
dad
yeah
go
sissy (issy)
ball
cracker (ca kak er)
cow (k ah oow)

And, that's all I can think of for now.

Still waiting on Mama. Maybe he is holding out for Mother's Day?

A Mama can only hope!

His comprehension is fabulous. He almost always knows what I am talking about. :) Which makes life so much easier.

Now, if only I had a cure for the whining. And the little temper tantrums, where he is kicking a screaming on the floor.

He is a perfect angel in public, but once you get him in his own environment WATCH OUT! :)

I love you my Jackers!
