Tummy time

I'm not sure Elias completely understands what tummy time is supposed to be. I laid him down for a bit of tummy action and a few minutes later found this:

A real bath

Or as real a bath as you can have in the kitchen sink.  Eli had his first real bath on Dec 11.  As you can see, he didn’t really enjoy it. 

 

My boys

Ben has finally started calling Eli by his name sometimes and not just calling him baby. Ben's thing right now is to come close and say "Hi E-why" and then kiss his forehead. So cute!!

Stocking Photos

As the usual tradition, we stuffed Eli in his stocking to get the required “first Christmas Photos”.   Mom must be making them smaller because he was super hard to get inside.  As you can tell it wouldn’t really go up over his little belly. 

Good daddy

There are times where I catch James doing something with the kids and I think "he's such a great daddy!". Today there was one of those moments. Sariah brought him Peter Pan and both kids just climbed up to have him read. It was totally adorable. Yep Dad is AWESOME!

New years resolutions- A Better Me

I must say I like the new year. I like resolutions. A time to set over all goals and push to better. That is my focus this year. To be a "better me". Not a perfect me. So if I don't do each of these or do them perfectly that is okay with me. Just to try to do them or be better at each category is truly my goal. I just like something specific too so that I can be able to somewhat measure my progress rather than just saying be more of x.

So here are my little notes of what I'm trying to do to better myself in the upcoming year. And yep with blogging this I can check one off today. :)
