I do it myself Mum

This totally made me laugh today. We are working on Eli getting his own underwear and pants on and off when he goes to the bathroom. He did it all alone today and was so proud. A while later, he spilled his drink on his pants and took them off and I saw this. The waist band is the thick blue band in the picture, and they are backwards. I would have posted the front view but lets just say it was a little bit revealing.

6 months

Here is a comparison of the kiddos both at age 6 months. They are even wearing the same shirt. It's not often that Hana wears Eli's hand-me-downs. They are pretty much at exactly the same spot as far as developmental milestones go. I just love 6 months old!

Happy Guy

It is so hard to get a picture of Eli smiling these days. He either turns his head away or makes a mean face as soon as I pull out the camera. He is very into being a "tough guy" or a "bad guy" right now. I was able to sneak in a few of him actually looking happy this week and thought I better post them. He is getting to be so big. He starts preschool in September! Eli has really been interested in learning the alphabet. He points out letters when we are driving in the car and in the store. Whenever I turn on my computer and Google comes up he starts pointing out the letters. It's pretty fun! Here he is reading his alphabet book in his cape.

Shark attack

 

We may not live near the ocean, but a shark attacked our house yesterday. It was a pretty scary one too!

The Tongue

 

Hana always has her tongue out. She can make it form into the smallest little point in the corner of her mouth. Here is her classic tongue out pose.

Happy Half Birthday

Hana is 6 months old! How has half a year passed already? Is that even possible? I just love this age. She is so sweet and happy. I love her baby babbling it's so quiet and girlie. She can sit up on her own and roll from side to side. She loves to suck on her fingers and toes and stick out her tongue. She's got a sweet tooth like me so adding apple sauce to any vegetable makes her happy.

Here's my girl at 6 months, fresh and clean, right out of the tub:

DNA at it's finest

There is no doubt who Hana looks like. I think I'm about 3 months in this photo and Hana is almost 6 months but there is no hiding the resemblance.
