Lately--Pics of the Kids

I love this recent pic of Elijah. What a fun climber. This is his 1 and a half birthday.

Elijah loves to shovel. The guys on the road are shoveling to even out the rocks, so Elijah wants to bring his own and "poo--pah-toss!" the rocks, as he says.

Precious--just like the big guys.

A fun community--the little ones learning from the big--a helper boy!

Typical...the kid is not IN the stroller but pushing it. Well, it's worth having for the wipe-out times. I always remember seeing parents in the park pushing a stroller and carrying the child. Now I know why it happens.

My friend, Liz, also had the same two midwives as we did. Her boy was due a week after ours but she gave birth two days before us. It was the EXACT same hours, 9:30p.m. to 3:30 a.m. so we were glad it was not the same time (we were sharing the oxygen tank and midwives!). Thankfully, there was a night in between for the midwives to get some sleep before our little guy started to make his entrance! Liz' boy is Judah.

Elijah loves rocking and reading books "buu-ts" (He can't make a "K" sound yet)

Nate and I had a fun date--with Malachi of course. I haven't separated from him yet. He looks all bundled up. It was "cold" for us that day as it rained a lot. I guess they say I am becoming more Filipino, putting a hat and gloves on my son on a "cold" day! Haha!

Our growing family. We're so glad we have such a great babysitter, Amor, to help us when we go out. She gets along so well with Elijah.

Malachi found his thumb! He never took a pacifier really, so now he has a quick soother to keep him calm.

He is smiling now! Elijah loves Turtles and the letter "T" for "Taxi, toes, tongue, and turtle". This is Malachi by the way--almost three months (this Saturday the 5th!).

Elijah started going pee in the potty---but he is also going IN the potty! Oh, we have to do some more training yet!

Elijah has fun taking baths with Papa because he gets to swim in the water bucket. Splash! He must have his little yellow ducky (it was a present for Malachi, but he loves it).

Singing in the shower "Rubber ducky, you're the one! You make bathtime lots of fun!"

Elijah is learning his alphabet every day. Notice the "M" for Malachi. He loves to put his animals and letters on Malachi's chest.
