Eli has been using his manners very well!! He has also been good with using "please" and "thank you" and lately I have been working with him more on manners and he has caught on SO good!! It is soooo cute to hear him too! Most times when he forgets to say them when he is talking, he will stop himself dead sentence and start over saying "please" or "thank you" or both in the sentence! It melts my heart and is oh so sweet!!! He is always sooo proud of himself too and it is soooo stinkin cute to see how proud he is! He always says "Yeaaaah Mommy high five!" :]:] So of course I give my sweet lil man a high five and extra special hugs too :] Eli also has been dead set on my birthday haha it's soooo cute and sweet and makes me smile! He tells me everyday how many days til my birthday and today he also said that "Eli wants Mommy to have a Dora birthday!" awwww :] So smart and cute!!! He is still real big into baseball and I love this! He loves his cuddle time as well as little brother does too and I LOVE this! I hope my babies want to cuddle FOREVER!!! :] Another one of his faves is going to Monkey Joe's to play and to go swimming!!! My babies are BOTH lil fishies and just LOVE the water!!! They are both getting very tan too!
Zacary is standing up all on his own, walking with his walker toy, and even took a step to me the other day!!! It is hard to believe that in a month he could be full out walking!!! He is so ready to walk though -- he wants to run around just like big brother! He crawls verrrry fast but with as frusterated as he gets at times for not being able to walk -- I feel so bad for my lil guy! I on the other hand think it is crazy for him to be able to walk at 10 months old -- that and the fact he is my baby!!! But no matter when he does -- I will be oh soooo proud of him! His personality has been coming out more and more as he grows! He loves to be involved in absolutely everything Eli is doing and it is so darn cute1 He lives to make sure Mommy and Daddy are close by to him -- and his new thing is crawling up to me, grabbing my shirt, pulling himself up and then laying his sweet head on me! It's sooo adorable and makes me smile :] It just seems like yesterday when Eli was this age and doing all the sweet things Zacary does -- and now Eli is 2.5 and Zacary is 10 months... my oh my! I feel like I am gunna blink and Eli is gunna be in preschool (thank goodness we have quite some time til then haha!!!) and Zacary is gunna be shortly after that!
The other day we were at the pool and a lil boy came to the baby pool where we were and Eli says "little boy little boy -- my Mommy's birthday is comin up!" awww and then he said "Eli is gunna be 3 (and put 3 lil fingers up to the lil boy) and Zacary is gunna be 1 soon (as he puts 1 lil finger up!)" how stinkin adorable beyond sweet!!! He just says the sweetest things ever all the time and whenever he feels the need to say them and I LOVE IT!!! It melts my heart!!!!! :]
Last night while reading Eli a story and getting him ready for bed he always talks away to me and he says "Mommy Eli Zacary made pictures for you for birthday" awww! It made me die laughin at the same time b/c he gets it very honest to tell gift secrets the way he did to me :] It is so hard for me to hold in gift secrets hahaha!!! One of these days it will be me telling him and Zacary their gift secrets hehe :] It was way cute :]:]
Eli has a new thing of saying "Mommy Daddy Zacary come here wunna show you something" (as he grabs our hands and pulls us to what he wants us to see) hahahaha! He is so funny!!! He has a lil accent at times too -- esp when he says melting! It comes out as "melton" hahahahaha! It's so cute -- our lil southern boys :]
Zacary is big into playing peek-a-boo and it is one of the cutest things ever!!! We say "where's Zacary!?" and he covers his lil face with his hands (sometimes only one eye haha) and then he takes his hands away and smiles sooooo big!!! It is rather precious and his lil 2 teeth show and ahhh it melts me :] I just looove it!!!!
Zacary also has picked up on how to do the "Tomahawk Chop" that the Braves do at their games. Eli does it and sings it so much with us that when we say the song now Zacary puts his hand up and down and does the motion to it too :]:] He also tries to sing it as well!! It is soooo adorable and precious!!! He is just down right adorable and sweet!!!
We go to Laptime still every week at the library and Eli loves it and had loved it from day one we started going!!! Zacary has gone with us since Eli started too since it is for 2 year olds and boy has he ever caught on to what we do in the class! He gets so excited just like Eli and claps his hands to the songs we sing and smiles and laughs so much! If the library does not have laptime a week then we do it at home together and both boys just LOVE doing it and Eli gets out their lil chairs like this --
and they sit there so happy and so cute as we go over everything we do in Laptime together (weather, days of the week, matching game, crafts, different songs, story time, spider songs, etc) and Zacary gets into it so much for a 10 month old! Eli has everything down pat soooo good and does awesome! Once he is 3 we no longer go anymore which will be sad but we will still do it at home! Then when Zacary is 2 we can go back :] I just love it and every single second I spend with my precious baby boys! They are beyond the best thing ever and I am soooo thankful and blessed for them!!!!! Motherhood is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! <3
PS -- I had a great birthday!! I feel so old being one more year closer to 30 tho -- that was the only damper to my day haha!!!! Noah the boys and I went to NC to visit with Noah's bro Siah, Marlana, and the sweet girls and then his parents came and sister Emily and brother Zach too :] It was a fun time -- we went out for dinner at Smokey Bones and it was sooooo good :] Noah's sister Emily also has the same birthday as me and I LOVE it!!!! It was so good seeing her on our day :] I got spoiled so much by everyone -- esp Noah and the boys!!! He got me more lens to my camera and a tri-pod too! Then I also ordered a birthstone ring for the boys' birthstones too! I am excited for it to come in woooot!!! Each time we have a kid I am going to add their birthstone to another ring! Right now I have a birthstone ring for Eli and so I ordered one now for Eli and Zacary with both of their birthstones too :] I so can't wait and I am super excited!!! Eli told me "happy birthday Mommy" alllll day and it was the sweetest thing!!!! I had a great time with my lil family for sure -- and then Noah and the boys took me out to dinner to Olive Garden last night too for round 2 birthday dinner with the 4 of us -- LOVE :] My lil family is the absolute best!!! It was also sooo good seeing my sweet nieces too -- they are soooo beautiful!!! Jasmine just hugs and kisses baby Jayde allll the time and is so cute :]
