babies are fun to watch

i love these pictures. don't you love watching babies play? he was so determined to do whatever it was that he had in mind. little monkey!

dear abe-

you are seriously cute. i can't get enough of you. naughty-ness and all. lately you have been into headbutting and biting dad and i. sometimes we bug you on purpose so you will do it because it is so dang funny. you love to snuggle. you love to follow your brothers all around the house. you love to bug milo because you are bigger than him at least. you love animals. today you cried because chino was mad at you and it hurt your feelings. you are so funny right now. you copy everything that we tell you too. you are so smart. today you said " i want that". you say little things i can't believe that you are saying already. you have silly long hair. you are also obsessed with chocolate milk. you follow the lead of your brothers and drink more than i thought was ever possible. you love to jump on the trampoline. you are a tease. you wrestle your brothers and steal their toys but get mad if they do it to you. i am your best friend...until dad comes home, then i'm dog poop. tonight you even ignored me when i tried to get you to kiss me because dad was holding you. you love crackers, any kind will do. ever day you lead me over to the cupboard where i keep the snacks. i open it and you point to the crackers. you jump up and down and clap when i give them to you and then i get a slobbery cracker hug and kiss. i love those messy little kisses

ps. where did you get those dimples baby?

love you

abey is so cool...

things have been pretty crazy here. my sister was in town for 3 WEEKS and you had better believe that we were living it up...


this is how excited abe was to see jess and the girls

these crazy nuts sure are cute when they get along. funny story, for those who are weak at heart or don't like "potty talk" then look away now!

so lately eli has been into acting like a puppy named " diego" well yesterday ezra and "diego" were playing and wrestling. all of a sudden ezra started screaming and yelling that eli had bite him on the... you guessed it ( or maybe you didn't ) what the??? who bites people on the "you know what"? diego thats who. little stinker, it was even bleeding! james and i were trying not to laugh as we tried to discipline eli and sympathize with ezra. and the worst part was that i could not for the life of me try to talk ezra out of putting a band aid on the wound. is this a normal occurrence for those of you with boys?

we found these sillies reading a book together the other day and we thought it so cute we snapped up a photo. to bad the sweetness lasted all of 2 minutes. i sure do love these crazies!

i dare you to find a cuter baby. big bald head+chubby cheeks+silly grin+cuddly+sweet+funny+quirky and fun+happy+sleepy+piggy= my baby abey, and i thought he was coming to ruin my life... by the way i think my boys are definitely all boy... none of them would be very pretty little girls, don't you agree?

my silly goose is 8 months old today. abe is so close to crawling he is likely to do it any minute. i love his bald little head and fuzzy hair. it makes me laugh when he wakes up and his few long hairs are sticking out all crazy old man like. he has the sweetest disposition and is most always happy. right now he is into making a cheesy little grin as seen in the first picture. abe loves to just sit and play next to eli and ezra and watch all they are doing. he also loves to eat eat eat all day long just like eli. we love you big fat head. ( abes current nickname)

abes favorite trick

sucking his toes.

baby habey
