Crawling?

SURPRISE! This morning is the first time Eli has actually "army crawled"! It is more scooting than crawling, but it's still exciting. I can't believe I got it on video! This one's posted for you Jay! Wish you were here!

This is my new favorite song!

E.Coli's great adventure!

Last night was Eli's first sleepover with Cole at OUR house! I must admit I was a little nervous about entertaining a 14month old, but it went FANTASTIC! Cole was great and we had so much fun. After Cole got here yesterday, Jay and I loaded the boys up and took them to McDonalds. We sat in the little indoor play area and both boys were mesmerized by the older kids and all the video machines. Then we headed home since Eli was fading FAST. Jay took Cole duty and gave his bath while I put Eli to bed. Then Cole and I read a book "Is there really a human race" (great by the way... written by Jamie Lee Curtis) and then Cole went to bed. Both boys slept all night and woke up early for some b-fast and cartoons! We ventured out to Ella Minnow Pea and Buddy's Barbeque, then it was time for Cole to go home. Quick trip, but full of fun! The sleepover would have been perfect were it not for my child's meltdown right before Cole left. I think he's teething? Anyways, I must send a shout out to my wonderful husband! He is such a great dad and uncle, not to mention the best husband ever! :) We can't wait for more sleepovers with Cousin Cole! Eli is wore out and right now is napping like a champ!

(No, the boys did not sleep together in Eli's crib. We just put them in there to see what happened!)

Independence!

Eli's new favorite toy is his fantastic new WALKER! He enjoys the one at Gram's so much that Jay finally talked me into getting one for our house. He LOVES his new independence (even though he just follows me around the house). He is working really hard at crawling, but he will have to settle for this mobility for now.

TAGGED!!!

Ok, so I was tagged by Nikki AND Darby and now I must tag four people to do the same. This one is for fun! Go to your fourth picture folder and then go to the fourth picture in the folder. Write four things about the picture and then tag four other people. It's amazing what you'll find!!!



1. This is the cruiser (AKA "Pair-A-Docs") that Jay and I bought last year from a guy in North Carolina.

2. We LOVE spending time on the water: boating, wakeboarding, being lazy!

3. Last summer, Jay and I took the boat down to Chattanooga for 3 days. It was a 5 hour boat ride through 2 dams and lots of beautiful scenery! We actually slept on the boat as it was docked right outside of the Aquarium. It was a great trip!

4. We sold the cruiser this summer to a guy who lives in Wyoming!

Visit with the Alabama Davis's!

What a wonderful visit with Mike, Katie, and Josiah!!! This week Mike had a rare week off from his Internal Medicine Residency in Alabama and spent a few days with us in Kingston! Eli was so excited to get to see Cousin Josiah!!! The boys spent Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon together getting reaquainted. They talked ALOT and enjoyed wrestling around on the activity mat whenever the adults let them! Nana and Big Daddy even came down on Wednesday for a short visit. We can't wait til Thanksgiving when we can all get together again!

Eli checking out all of Josiah's hair!

Josiah... cute as usual!

Josiah: "If I could just get that shoe off... or maybe I get the whole leg in my mouth!"

Awwww!

The boys are quite a handful these days! I can't believe I got a picture of everyone looking at the camera!!!
