Grandparents Visit

   Last week my sweet grandparents, Nelson and Gladys Elifritz, came down to my brothers house to see all of us grand-kids and great grand-babies. It had been two years since I had seen them and five years since my brother was with them. We all had some sweet fellowship, fun and an overall fantastic time. Julia and Levi sure warmed up to them and had a blast. Gideon was just excited to have a lot of hands to pick him up and hold him. He is such a cuddle bug. Can't wait to be with them again. Next time little Luke will be here. So excited to have a new nephew on his way very soon. Love my family!
The whole clan! Can't believe we were all looking in the right direction

Cousins, boy is it hard to get them all to smile and look at the same time.

Do you think they had a fun time?

9 Month Update

* Feeding habits: I have an eating machine on my hands. No more baby food or baby cereal for my big boy. He loves anything and everything that he can pick up and put in his mouth. New foods this month are: toast, french fries, chicken, beef, hamburger (meatloaf) yellow squash, zucchini, cake :), ice cream, yogurt (the real stuff) and much more!
* Daily routine: He is down to 2 naps a day. Morning and afternoon. His night sleeping is MUCH better again. He maybe will get up once sometimes not at all.
* He pulls up on everything and tries to walk in between furniture without holding on. He has only been successful in standing on his own for about 30 seconds. He will take steps with us holding onto him. Won't be long and he will take off.
* He is interested in anything that makes noise or he can make noise with.
* Been introducing more books to him. He isn't very patient for the next page so we paraphrase a lot of stories.
* He loves to clap whenever we say "Yay!" or "Good boy!"
* If you a direct any question to him he likes to shake his head no.
* A blanket is a must at any nap time or bed time. Julia was never attached to anything. I find it kind of cute.
* He is suck a momma's boy and doesn't give room for many others. I don't mind the extra hugs, kisses, and cuddles.

I can't believe in just 3 months we will be celebrating his big ONE year birthday. I havn't even begun to plan. Where has my time gone?
