Carnivores

Eric: "Mom, how do dinosaurs eat meat if they don't know how to cook?"

James at 7 Months

At 7 months James is sitting for a long time, rolling across the floor several times in a row...even getting himself stuck half under the couch. He loves his doorway jumper and exersaucer.
We had to put him in a big boy carseat (sniff sniff) so no more carrier. I can;t believe he has already reached that stage.
He is a very smiley baby now and loves to watch his brother and sister. He always laughs. When they have tantrums or cry he laughs out loud and they can't help smiling too.
He has about 4 bottles a day and some days loves baby food and some days not.
His favorite thing is to drink out of our water cups. he grabs it with both hands and actually drinks, which he won't do with a bottle or sippy.
He is a blondie and it looks like the blue eyes are staying. Everyone who sees him comments on how beautiful his eyes are.

Potty Party

Just writing it is jinxing it, I know, but today we are one week accident free with Ellie! To celebrate we went to Panera for bagels and got her some play food at Toys R Us. Hopefully we are finally diaper free (well 2/3 diaper free I should say )

Spacesuit

Today Ellie pointed to a spacesuit costume and called it a "blastoff dress."

Blackberry

Today Eric told me I should get one!

27 Days

Today Eric said "Your birthday isn't for 27 days." It is actually in 28 but I was shocked that he was so close so I asked how he came up with that and he responded with
"I start at 31 and count backwards 3 because it's October 3rd so 31-30-29-28, wait actually it's in 28 days."
I think that is pretty advanced thinking for a four year old.

Secrets of a Mom

The other day I had to take a shower with a dirty car seat! There was no other way to take the covering off. Now it is sparkling :)

I love baby food. I always taste James' food to see if it is hot and for some reason I really like the baby rice cereal and bananas.

Ellie the Cowgirl

Ellie rode the horse today on her class field trip to the stable. She had such a fun time. She fed carrots to the horses by throwing them over the fence and screaming "there it is horse."
