Baby Otto

Soooo sweet! I had just given the little guy a bath and was taking in his soft baby skin... so precious, and he is growing up sooo fast! I had to snap a picture to capture the moment.

Videos, videos, videos

It has been a while since I have uploaded a video, so here are a few from the past month.

Eli really enjoys his dirt creatures, especially worms. I am not sure how he managed to convince me to let him bring some inside the house. We cleaned them up first!

Eli didn't put down the scorpion Brian made for him for a couple hours. He just wanted to hold on to it.

Here is Eli playing the wii. He doesn't quite understand how to play most of the games, but we have tried. The wii has this way of telling you how you are doing, and poor Eli got a scolding from the wii the other day... it said to Eli, "You do not have good balance! You must trip a lot!" Poor Eli.

Otto playing in the rocks.

Hot Coco!

Yes, I know I have posted pictures like these before, but it is really something we do a lot! Otto now says, "Papa!!" and "hot coco!!" when we pull-up to park at Sunergos.

Scorpion...

Brian made Eli this scorpion from some bendable colored sticks. Eli loves it!

Snow in Kentucky!!!

Bath Time

Only on rare occasions do I let them splash a little.... and ohhh so happy they are!

Boot Hockey

We went and watched Patty play boot hockey one evening.

Eli slept the whole time... all our visiting tired him out!

The Workaholics... Eli just happened to make it in this shot- not sure if it determines his future.

Snow!!!!

These are a few pictures of our time playing outside in the snow at Brian's parent's place. Eli LOVED the snow and has mentioned to me several times since we have been back to Kentucky that "it really needs to snow BIG in Kentucky!" The last two are videos.

Visiting Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Revoir

We made our annual winter visit to Brian's grandparent's place for a fish fry! We were able to see the wild turkeys! and deer during our visit!

When we arrived I tried to lay Otto down for a nap when I put him on the bed he woke up and looked at the doll and then gave me this look:

wild turkeys!!!

Brian showing Eli how to use a yo-yo.

Otto loved the turkeys! He just squealed when he saw them!
