Two Months Old

Elias is getting very animated these days! He smiles and talks and is even trying to giggle. He can grab the rings on the hanging toys, and he can get his blanket into his mouth after a lot of effort. He loves watching the bird mobile spin and kicks like crazy while he watches it. 

Elias is noticing his blanket more and more. It definitely helps him fall asleep if he grabs it or tucks it under his arm. He is currently very happy with the binki too, which is luxurious. I am absolutely thrilled not having to nurse him every time he's upset or needs to sleep.

This Weekend

Elias in the Baby U...I need to do some comparison posts. All my boys (and my Swiss babies!) have cuddled up in this. 

Making blueberry muffins. Blueberries were on sale so we have been eating them by the handfuls!

Augustine and Lewis attended a (very fun) birthday party over the weekend and the highlight for Lewis was the baby sister.

Lewis Talks

Lewis still isn't up to an almost four years old level of speech, but he's made huge strides this spring. Here are a few funny things he said over the winter. 

"A, me play no me eat nana."

(Translation: Augustine, I'm not going to play. I'm going to eat my banana.)

"A, me none me play."

(Translation: Augustine, when I'm done I will play.")

Lynn: How do you think they make this (kinetic) sand?

Lewis: In, honey. 

Spring Days

Now that the big boys are playing the days away outside for the whole morning, Elias can get a good nap(s)!

His daily fit about food. 

I cleaned and organized outside toys. Felt. So. Good. 

Now I just need to purge some of the trucks and make signs for the buckets. 

He did this in the stroller while I worked. 

He's loving the Swiss hanging toys. (Miss you Cassanis!) Elias can really get the rings swinging!

Also loving the mobile. Two of my good friends gave Augustine this mobile and all our boys have enjoyed it. 

Logan has struck up a friendship with a retired priest and we love to visit him! He has great stories.
