Snuggle all day

This chubby boy is so cute that I could sit and snuggle him all day.

Oatmeal thief

Ben loves oatmeal. And it always works that if I make enough for both of us, he won't touch it. But if I make enough for just me, he downs my whole bowl and then wants more. Today was such a morning. The oatmeal thief ate my whole bowl. But he's cute I couldn't say no.

Trying stuff on

Sariah was having so much fun trying on the clothes I bought yesterday. Here she is modeling my new dress.

6 months

Mr Eli is 6 months old today!! What a big man. He is our mellow baby. Happy to sit and grin at you. He loves to munch on things- toys, teething rings, his bib. He can often be found with his bib stuck in the corner of his mouth. He loves his yummy thumbs too. He still spits up so we have no idea how he gains so much weight. He is on reflux medicine so that helps some. He is eating cereal occasionally now. Planning to start more food soon.

Best are his smiles and giggles!

Temple Run

Today I ran in the second annual Temple Run. It is a fun, casual, and free 5k that starts and ends near the new Kansas City LDS temple. I ran last year while I was pregnant with Eli and made myself super sick. (Yep like ER visit the following Monday). But this year I am happy to say that I feel great. It was a nice cloudy day with lots of wind. I think my time was about 33min 30sec but will have to wait for the results. I started way behind everyone else because I got there late and didn't want to smush up with the other runners, which makes your time off from the clock. And I'm lame and forgot to get a picture until we were already back to our car. So no good picture in front of the temple or during the race. But here I am after completing my first race since Eli was born.
