All About the Kids

Eli has been crawling for a couple months now and he started pulling up within a week. About 2 weeks ago he started cruising around coffee tables and anything he could move around. This weekend he started letting go of things and trying to stand on his own. It usually doesn’t last long, but he’s trying. He turned 9 months old last Monday. I can’t believe how big he is getting. He likes to play with doors of any kind. He opens and closes them constantly. Sometimes he gets mad when he closes the bathroom door and can’t get out. It’s kind of funny!

Dylan gets smarter every day. He talks non-stop and is so excited when we get a warm day so he can play outside. He remembers things I told him months ago and never forgets when he’s supposed to get a piece of gum or candy. He is helpful when I’m working around the house. He now has chores to do. He has to take out the bathroom and laundry room trash once a week. He has to dust his dresser once every two weeks. He has to pick up his toys in the sunroom before he goes to bed. He also has to help with other odd and end jobs that he’s capable of doing. He’s been helping his Dad water plants and he’ll probably start helping Chris mow since it’s already getting that time of year.
