Three months and giggly!

We have a little laugher! I will give you one guess who made him laugh for the first time. Yep it was his Daddy. He is definitely the playful one in the family. He was able to get Eli to big belly laugh for the first time. These days Eli is full of smiles. He is so sweet and just loves to play with everyone. He has also become quite a Momma's boy. He lovvvves his momma, which I love too! :) He is also sleeping through the night now and I love that too. I just never knew that a baby boy would be this much fun. Thank God for knowing that we needed a little guy in our family!

Happy Happy Happy Halloween!

So for those of you that are not on the Duck Dynasty band wagon I should probably explain our Halloween costumes this year. There is a hit show called Duck Dynasty that Chad discovered last year before the rest of the world knew about it. It is a wonderful mixture of red neck hilarity and good old fashioned Christian family values. We absolutely love it! We decided to dress up like them for Halloween. It is a huge family of men with long scraglly beards and hot wives. I play the role of the hot wife. hee hee! We even had Eli dressed up in full red neck with a beard. We went to visit some of the other babies who were all dressed adorably!

The girls are really into Annie right now! They love to sing "It's a Hard Knock Life" and stomp around the house. We have even managed to talk the girls into cleaning the house just by playing that song. :) It is not child labor abuse I promise.  So we felt it fitting for Livi to be a little red-haired orphan Annie for Halloween. Ella had a harder time deciding what she wanted to be for Halloween this year. She couldn't decide between Ms. Hannigan and Astrid from "How to Train Your Dragon". Finally the day of, she decided to be Ms. Hannigan. All throughout the streets of Round Rock you could hear these two playing the parts of Annie and Ms. Hannigan. They are quite the little actors. Ella also had an opportunity to dress up as a bride for their school Fall Festival.

2 months and goo

Eli has started making the sweetest little sounds. He says "goo". I told the girls that goo means "I Love you" so they are constantly goo-ing at him. It is precious. He loves it too. Well the little early childhood teacher in me decided to teach him to goo on command and would you believe it he can acutally do it! No kidding two months old. I say goo to him and he goos back. It is the coolest thing ever. This kid truly is something else!
This little man LOVES to talk! His favorite thing in the whole world is to sit with someone and just goo with them.  He can also say bbbb and blow bubbles and aahh. It is adorable. He is a very social little guy. At his doctors appointment he was 10 lbs and 6 oz, which is still skinny. It put him at the 10 percentile for weight.

Eli is such a sweet baby. I never knew having a boy would fill me with this much joy!! We are so blessed!
