*** Things Lately ***

The boys are growing like weeds right in front of my eyes my goodness! It's unbelievable how you can just wake up one day and it feels like they have learned sooooo much more!!!

Eli is talking more and more and more every day and Zacary tries to stand and as of today, started clapping his hands awwww!!! It's really hard to believe how big they are getting... and considering Zacary is my baby for the time being- it's hard to believe he is almost 8 months old and learning so much! His hair is getting so thick and he is just such a good baby! He gets way sad/mad when he is hungry but other then that- he may fuss when he cries and when he wakes up but he does great and is a good baby and so sweet and smiley!!! Eli is repeating everything we say and it is so funny! We got a new cat as I posted awhile back and her name is Bo and I call her "Bocephus" at times just being silly and now Eli does too hahaha! He loves that cat so much and so does Zacary! He crawls so fast at her and just laughs and laughs at her and tries to catch her- it's adorable! Eli is also singing all kinds of songs and it is so cute to hear him! He sings "the itsy bitsy spider" "old mcdonald had a farm" "take me out to the ballgame" "abc's" "pop goes the weasel" "wheels on the bus" "mr golden sun" you name it he catches on and knows the song so fast and he is such a cute lil singer!!!

Eli says "Love you Mommy" and tonight he also said "goodnight Bo I love you" haha awwww it was precious! He likes to talk about when he passes gas (typical boy) hahaha and he is pretty much fully potty trained which is awesome!!! He has no accidents during the day and I put a diaper on him before nap and bed time and he is damp when he wakes up but that is expected- esp when he is sleeping! He gets so excited when he goes and tells me at times when he has to go as well! It is hard to believe he is at the age to be potty trained already!!! He is doing so wonderful and I am verrrrrry proud of him!!! I have been rewarding him with candy (keeping it at a limit), lil toys, gum, stickers, and special treats or taking him somewhere special and he just gets so so excited after he goes to the bathroom and claps his hands and it is so so so adorable- SO SO SO proud :]

Zacary is now clapping his hands when we sing, and just all on his own at times too and it is too cute and melts my heart!! The boys always make me smile so so much and I just love every second of being with them! :] We now have Zacary's crib mattress all the way down so when he stands in his crib he can not flip over!!! He is one brave soul for sure haha! He is crawling alllll over, tries to stand up on things, and then sits like he is almost in the splits position hahaha! He LOVES to eat- LOVES!!! He could eat 24/7 I believe but that is ok- he is a healthy growing boy :] Today Eli woke up and it was like he learned to use sentences even more in his sleep haha! He was saying "no way jose" "noooo way" everytime I would today which shows me how much I say them both hahahaha! It made me laugh so so much! We were at the store today and the cart was so big (b/c Eli wanted him and brother to sit in the race car cart) and so it was like school bus style but way cute seeing the 2 of them in it together!!! But I was havin a hard time fitting thru an aisle and I said "if we can fiiiiit thru then we will make it out of here" and Eli says "fiiiit thru we make it out of here" hahahahahaha!!!

He is just so funny all the time! He has one cute and funny personality I love- I sit and laugh and laugh at him all the time! He does have 2 parents that aren't boring parents though- so that is def where he gets it :] I can so tell Zacary is gunna be so funny just like him once he is talkin and stuff too and he is just a sweetheart! He will just come up and crawl to me at anytime and the biggest smile ever on his face and always is loving to be with his big brother too!!! Every morning he goes crazy when he sees big brother awwww :] Then when Daddy is home he smiles so big to him too! Eli is so cute when he runs up to us and just gives hugs and kisses and then says "I love you Mommy/Daddy/Brother" awww it's so cute! Both of their ages right now are definitely some of my faves! Every stage they both go thru is the best though!! I just love hearing Zacary's lil noises and laughs and Eli's lil laugh and voice!!!

The other day Zacary woke up when I was about to get in shower and so he was in his baby seat strapped in eating his bottle while I hurried and took a shower and I kept checkin on him and he was just fine but then when I got out he quietly worked his way to where his hands were on the floor and his body was flipped forward in the baby seat and he just looked at me and smiled hahaha I couldn't even believe he was able to do that all STRAPPED in his baby seat!!! What a lil cute daredevil! Eli is so cute too whenever I am doing anything with Zacary Eli will be right there watching and then want me to do that exact same thing with him too awww! I always tell Eli "of course I will buddys" and do the same with him and he just smiles! He does pretty good about being jealous but it is cute when he does get it somewhat and then smiles so big! I always assure him I love him and brother soooo much and will do fun things with both of them always and just the same!!!! He sure knows that too and I always make sure I also have one on one time with both boys everyday too (Zacary is always up earlier so that is our one on one time and Eli and I have it before nap and bed time since Zacary always falls asleep before him both times) it works out perfect too!! Always wunna make both of my babies feel loved and special that is foooor sure!! :]

Zacary is becoming more vocal and makes these funny lil faces that are sooooo funny!!! It makes Eli and I die laughin (I will post a pic hehe) Zacary is going to be more brave though for sure! He will crawl and try to stand up on anything and it is so funny b/c Eli says "MOMMY MOMMY NOOOO BROTHER" and looks out for him and says "Mommy- hold you brother" which when he says "hold you" it means he wants me to hold his brother awww! Anytime Eli wants held he says "hold you Mommy" or at night after story time he always wants me to lay with him for a bit and he says "lay with you Mommy" meaning to lay with him awww!!! It melts my heart!!! Zacary is also at the stage where if I leave the room for a split second to get something for one of the boys he cries and is so sad. It breaks my heart but then is so cute at the same time that he just wants me to hold him and be there too!!! It's so funny b/c anywhere I go Eli yells "Noooo Mommy Eli too" so I have Eli on one hip and Zacary on the other- I am used to this and love love love it :] Being a full-time Mommy is theeee best job in thee world- I am beyond thankful and blessed!!!
