We are so excited to be able to take the kids places now that Elijah is bigger! We all enjoyed picking strawberries this past weekend. Elijah and Mattie went swimming last week and enjoyed the water!
Elijah is sitting up on his own and rolls around to get toys. We are still introducing new foods to Elijah. He was very slow to swallowing baby food, but is doing much better now! Elijah LOVES Mattie. She hugs him and can make him giggle! He loves to watch her every move! Elijah loves to nap! He gets very grumpy if he misses a nap or is hungry. He has a laid back personality like his Daddy! Elijah is always smiling until you get a camera out then he gives this "look" like what are you doing?
Mattie is potty training and doing well! She has occasional accidents when she wants to play instead of potty. She can hold her "teetee" and I think she waits too long and makes a little accident then runs to the potty to finish. I make her potty frequently, but she is still learning how to stop playing on her own and go before it is too late! I guess this is why potty training takes a while! Mama gets nervous when we are running errands about accidents, but that's understandable. Mattie talks all of the time! She has some stories memorized and we love to hear her "read" to us!
We feel very blessed to have two wonderful and very different children! They both can make us laugh so hard and bring much happiness to our lives! We have those rough days of course, but feel so thankful that God has given us this opportunity to parent two wonderful little ones!
