Well he listens sometimes!

You have to hand it to Avery, when mom says "you can lick the bowl" he licks the bowl.

 

To his defense they were some darn fine muffins.

A few Avery quotes for the day.

1. "Dad you need to thank me and mom for the muffins" (he was right about this)

2. "I want mom to push the cart, she is smart" (he was right about this too)

3. [Dad] "You want some cereal now son" [Avery] "No I think it is time for a candy cane"(he was wrong about this)

Christmas is near !

We have been busy running around like crazy trying to get christmas stuff done. Avery and I went over and got snow tires put on the car. On the way over he declared "Dad, people with wiskers can talk LOUD" I said "So since I have wiskers I can talk loud" "YES". There you go.

We went to Jacksonville today to enjoy some christams festivities. We had the kids sit with Father Christmas and then we took a horse drawn wagon ride around the city. Avery really liked the horses. I will put some pictures of them up in Picasa.
 


 

Makes a dad happy

It is fun to see the boys play together. They spent most the the Georgia was in the shower (30 or 40 minutes hehe :), it is good she never reads these) playing on the basket together.

 

Question????

How can a kid who takes up this much of his parents bed when he is alone, take up the entire bed when his parents are in it with him?????

 

Where did the sun go

Avery has been bouncing off the wall so I decided to take him to the playground today. One thing lead to another and we did not get over there untill just after sun down. He still had a good time though. Eli was not as happy to be in the ergo. He much perfers to see what is going on. I also lugged my camera stuff as you can see. It was just about time to go and Eli lost it so I had to take him out of the Ergo and carry him. It was quite a mess with a tripod, camera bag, camera, kid, and another kid. We made it though. I got a few decent pictures out of it though so it was worth it.

 

I am sick of just sitting around

Eli has decided that sitting it just not good enough anymore. He is trying to climb anything, but if it will hold him and he can hold it, up he goes. Besides the fire place he has also stood up on Avery, his crib and his diaper bag.

 

Avery quote of the day

Today avery was asking about his aunt's for some reason. We asked if he knew who his aunts were. Not really grasping the consept he guess Bob, Sand and out friend Lindy. Well 1 for three ain't bad. So we started the process of explaing who aunts were. When I got to Amanda he got excited and said "MOM! Uncle Amanda is my Aunt" Very cute. SO I guess she is Aunt Uncle Amanda now.


 

Catch up (again)

Well it has been awhile. Not even sure what to write. We had Avery's Christmas program this week. It was very cute. There are pictures (not very good sorry) and movies up on my Picasa page. Avery also woke up with another dream this week. It seems a bear, one of Georgi's old bears with a winder?, was trying to clime down some where. They were both trying to drive to the house but they could not find it. Then it turns out the bear is in the garage in a box. We have yet to make an actual search for the bear. He is also become quite the little singer. He is picking words up in lots of songs and is singing quite a bit. On the down side he has been singing the theme song the Fifi and the flower tots (there is an episode of this at the end of one of his Bob the Builder DVD's).

Eli is still on his quest to stand up. He tries to climb up just about anything he gets his hands on. He stood up once in the crib because I was changing Avery on the changing table at the end of it. He wanted in the action I guess. This morning Avery was on my lap and we were his preferred ladder. It makes him mad he can't let go when he stands up. He does not seem as patient as Avery did. He is still enjoying eating. Every time the spoon comes up his little mouth pops open. He also likes little sips of water out of a straw.

Eli has decided to be the early riser these days. Avery ended up in bed with me last night so I am a little groggy. There was whining about wanting something to eat about 3:30 this morning. I did not want him to wake up Eli so I drug him with me. So I had about 3 square inches of bed until 6:30 when Eli woke up. So I think I am just writing aimlessly now so I am am going to stop.
