Shameless

Yet another shameless kid/baby-worship post. I can't help it!! I am so in love with my kids today. Even though Eli is pretty moody, he is still one of my favorite things about each day. And Maddux is blossoming so quickly now. I caught her sleeping like her brother used to (and still does occasionally) this morning after her nap: on her stomach with her legs tucked underneath her..... Ahhh bliss.

Before her nap, I took Maddux and Eli out front (or 'frump' as Eli calls it sometimes - thanks, Lehr!!) to play in the sun. Bubbles were #1 on the agenda and Eli could not have been happier. He loved chasing them all around, but Maddux wasn't too phased by it. I think that was mainly because I had her in the red car and that's all she could focus on. She would hop up and down (as much as her seat belt would allow) any time I would push her at all, in anticipation for the push down the driveway. That child is as much of a daredevil as her brother!

Today Eli told me 'something else' for the first time. He asked what a random noise was at breakfast and I responded, "The garbage man?" He corrected me: "No. Sohm-fing eh-ss." The new way he uses phrases really amazes me. And Maddux says "mamamamama" all the time when she sees (or wants) me now. Life is good.
