First Real Snowfall

Published by Julie under Bianca, Elliott, Jonah

We had a fun Saturday as a family staying at home this weekend.  The kids literally stayed in their pj’s the entire day.  Including when we went outside to play in the snow.

Jonah made snow angels, Elliott threw snow at us and Bianca had a great time running in the snow.  We also created a snow “mountain,” pulled up a deck chair and helped Jonah sled down it.  Check out the photos and video below.

And the Day Begins

Published by Julie under Elliott

This is the point we’re at with E lately:  Wakes up at 5am and cries for Mama.  I get him around 5:30 and bring him to bed with me where he is content for about 10 minutes.  I wrestle for him for another 10 while he asks for Daddy then let him go find him since he’s now done showering.  The minute he finds Daddy he starts crying and heading back for my door, saying, “I want Mama.”  But of course isn’t happy with me at that point either.  And thus the day with a clingy 20 month old begins.

Elliott’s Favorite Phrases

Published by Julie under Elliott

Elliott is talking a lot now.  It’s not always what we want to here but it’s nice that he can communicate.  Here are some of his favorite phrases:

“I want Mama!”

“Not me!” or similar “And me!”

“Let’s go!”

“I want more.”

“Naked paaarty!”

I need to get it recorded but it’s cute to note that Jonah comes out sounding more like “JsaJsa.”
