T-I-double G-ER

The wonderful thing about Tigger is that he lives at my house! Not really but a cute little man dressed like one does. Jake got the suit on e-bay for 99 cents just to see how cute he'd be. What a munchkin! He has a tail and everything!

Me and My New Highchair

It's been awhile so I have a few pictures to share. I have been torn about feeding Elijah food but he's been staring at us while we're eating like "hey, where's mine?" so I finally broke down. We didn't have a highchair so on Saturday we went to Babies R Us (I love that store! So many cool things...expensive sometimes..but cool) and bought him one. I had wanted a wooden one but we thought this one was the best. So here he is for the first time in his highchair.

He found out that he can take the plate off and chew it...little stinker!

Here we're giving him his first taste. He's not so sure about it.

But it gets better.

Of course more comes out than goes in.Hey I think he liked it! Now the only problem is that he had diarrhea yesterday and so I don't know if I sould hold off a little while. We only fed him rice cereal twice. Not sure if its a coincidence or not. We'll see I guess.

More Pics!

I just love showing off my family! Is the picture of us kissing Elijah a give away for what he's going to be like when he's older?














"Quit it Mom your embarrassing me!" Hopefully not!

Family Time

Jake and I went to a MOMS sale on Saturday and I was able to find a lot of dressy clothes for Elijah in all different sizes. I had been searching for an outfit for Christmas pictures and realized that dressy clothes are ridiculously expensive. I found an outfit I liked at the Children's Place but it would have been $36 not including shoes. I don't think so. Instead we went to the resale AND got half off. I spent a little more than I would have at a yard sale but all the stuff was Gap, The Children's Place, Polo...brands like that in perfect condition for $2-5. I was even able to get some maternity things for Angela (why is maternity stuff so expensive in the store?) We were already a ways from home so we decided to go to Payson to get away from town for a bit. I can't say that we did anything special...just a few antique shops but just the drive together was so meaningful. It seems like life has gotten in the way of us just spending time together and having fun. It was time that I will always cherish.
These pics were taken on Sunday. We hadn't really had a group photo since Elijah was a week old.

Why I Miss Cable TV

I have to say that I am secretly glad whenever we are out of something that causes a need to go to Target. As sad as it is to say the store has helped me through this whole postpartum issue. Weird, I know, but going up and down the aisles checking out things on clearance and spotting new and exciting things...okay, so I'm a little ridiculous...but only a little..right? Well, we were out of bottle liners so I HAD to go today (yippee!) and while checking out I saw the new Good Housekeeping Magazine. I never buy magazines but this one caught my eye. I'd like to say it was because of the Thanksgiving recipes that it advertised...but no...it was that Jon and Kate Goselin and their 8 kids were on the cover. I LOVE that show. We no longer have cable and I have to say that I am a little sad because that was probably my favorite. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I couldn't imagine having 6 kids all the same age besides having to worry about the older two getting enough attention. I'm not really sure but for $2.25 and the fact that I could (maybe) justify it because of the recipes...I had to grab it. I got my routine hot dog and coke (it could be a pretzel and coke too..hey it's just $2 and mighty tasty) and Elijah was content so I sat down and read the article. Did you know they're coming out with a book? I think I might need to add this to my Christmas list. Okay, maybe I can be considered a little weird now. Oh well, so be it.

Here's another new picture of Elijah. Jake caught him doing his new thing...sticking out his tongue. Anytime he gets excited now he has to stick his tongue out. It's just too cute. I'm sure I won't be saying that in a year or two when he sticks it out at someone but right now he's just learning about all of his "parts". It's so amazing to see how he notices things. It's really fun to watch him in the mirror. He sure gets a kick out of seeing himself. I'd say he's vain but I know that's just part of his age. He just squeals in delight as to say "hey, what a handsome baby!" And that he is. Oh, I just love my handsome baby boy!
