"May" I inform you....

I ADORE my boys! Here are some wonderful triumphs that have been going on in our household!

Edward:

• He gives the sweetest kisses with his bottom lip puckered out! Too cute!
• He stacked his "salami blocks" at lunch and was very proud of himself!
• Edward did a somersault all by himself around May 21st and has done a few since then! He is going to love the gymnastics class we are going to do this summer!
• We have been playing ball over the fence, where I stand on one side and he stands on the other and we throw the ball back and forth. Often Max ends up fetching the ball and Edward at first would get real angry, but then I told him how to get Max to drop the ball and now when Max does drop the ball Edward will say "good job Max" and pat, pat him on the back.
• Often when I go in to get Edward after nap or in the morning he will be quite chipper and want too toss 'doggie' and 'blankie' in the air and catch them, I just think the way he does this is so cute.
• Why have a been finding extra toys in Eli's bed when I go to lay him down???.....Edward....
• One handed driver--enough said
• Edward decided to read Eli a book one day. I walked in from the kitchen and there he was laying on his back next to Eli with a book in hand, babbling. My heart melted!
• On the 19th Edward said "love Mom" as I was walking out of his room that night. Sweet!!
• There has been a couple of times where Edward will accidentally knock something out of my hands or drop something and he will say "Oh" and cover his mouth with his hand. Such an expression!

Eli:

• Eli has been eating lots of new solid foods and I'm trying to come up with more! He's eaten peas, carrots, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, avocados, apples, mango, banana and baby cereals (rice and oatmeal)
• Eli loves Edward's dance and sing Elmo, but the only thing is Edward is still working on having to share his toys with Eli.
• Eli loves to watch Edward play or eat and he will just smile from ear to ear when he sees his big brother! I hope that last forever.
• Eli really enjoys being sung to and especially loves 'itsy bitsy spider' and 'this little piggy'
• On the 21st, Eli and Edward were 'playing' together. Eli was sitting up (which he can do, just a little wobbly sometimes) and pulling Edward's hair and they were both cracking up laughing!
• Eli has his FIRST tooth! I noticed it on Memorial Day, the 27th, so exciting! But along with the excitement also comes the fussiness. It is his bottom left tooth and the one right next to it is on it's way.
• Eli had a doctor appointment this week (almost 7 months) and he weighs 16 lbs 15 oz (25%) and is 28 1/4 inches (90%) tall! As happy as I am that he's growing, I'm sad that time just seems to go so quickly with sweet little babies.
