So Many New Things!

Eli, Zach and Luke - one by one they ended up in Mommy's bed!

Hi everyone! This has been a great time in the lives of the Amigos, and we've been so busy enjoying it, I haven't blogged in a while! We have had some very exciting things happening lately, such as:

Zach got his first tooth - Eli has two, and Luke is still toothless. All of the boys have been a little fussy lately, and I really think it's the teeth. Poor little dudes! I wouldn't want to go through that again.

Eli can sit up on his own - I waited for this one because I didn't want to give him credit until he could really do it, but he's a pretty balanced little guy. He has these chubby legs that give him more support! Luke and Zach are still working on it, but they all love to be sitting up - this often leads to strange contortions of my body, trying to keep them all upright at the same time. I count it as working out, what the heck?

And last but not least, Luke says "Da da", or some other variant. I'm not sure that he means daddy by it, but we're giving him credit because he says it really clearly, over and over again, and especially around John. Of course, he loves this (John, I mean). I am secretly drilling them for an hour a day on saying ma ma, but it hasn't worked yet. Just kidding! I only say it to them a couple (hundred) times a day.

Other fun things going on in our lives have been some great friends from PA came to visit, and the boys went swimming and on the trampoline for the first time. Both were really well-received by the boys. I wasn't sure how they'd like the pool, but they all seemed to really love it. I'm looking for baby floaties, but so far haven't found anything I think is right for them. We don't take them in the pool much though - I would always want to have at least 3 adults. We'll get some friends to come over and help!

P.S. - It usually takes me about 3 days by the time I can get the blog written, pictures inserted and published. That was true this time also, and in the meantime, Luke has popped a tooth out and Zach is saying "Da da"! I have faith in Eli that he'll do the right thing and not speak until he can say Mama!
