We survived Utah

Well, now I know why everyone dreads traveling with children. This picture is the beginning of the end for the first leg of the trip. 

However, once we got there everything was pretty magical.

And we are soooo happy to be home. 

Nine month old

Phew I may have done this month on time but little buddy was sick. And he is a mamas boy when he is sick. Inconsolable. Always wanting to be held. So I have been busy this past week trying to survive. 

Eli is a giant. Size 5 diapers. 18-24 mo clothes. Eating very little baby food. Pulling himself up on everything. Crawling everywhere. Four teeth. Laughing at sister. Growls. Loves Winnie the Pooh and frozen. Growing up way to fast. Hamhock butt. Shakes when happy. Loves to be held all the time. He looks long and lean this month!

A quilt for daisy

So I started this quilt when Daisy was in my tummy. 

http://somerfox.blogspot.com/2011/06/circles-of-every-shape.html

Here is the link to the starting product and a picture of the original that I got the idea from.  So after three years I finally picked it up again, finished the circles, quilted, & finished it. 

I feel so good and accomplished. I am really bad about finishing long projects.

Here are pictures of the final product: 

Personalization 

& the backside...

Let's start the next quilt! :)

Looking great mr. Eight months

Let's see where do I start?

Crawling. Rolling. From laying to sitting. Eating solids finally. Four teeth. pterodactyl happy sounds. Size 4 diapers. 12-18 month clothes. Loves frozen and Winnie the Pooh. Mamas boy.   Loves to squish and squeeze and rip thing. Loves to be outside. We all love this little boy. Daisy is a good little mama to him. Except when she knocks him over and smacks him with her toys. Good thing he is tough.

Seven month old

Mr. Eli I can't believe how big you are. You are 20 pounds and in the 90th percentile for weight and 70th for height. You are rolling over and crawling backwards. You are a hair puller who officially has two teeth. Professional squealer. Still not eating solid food yet still a chunk. Sitting up with no assistance. You hate your nose to be picked or touched for that matter. You sister loves to squish and smother you and when I yell at her she says incredulously "mama hug Eli" love you little chunk.

Life with a six month old

Why do I feel like he hasn't changed at all? I also feel like he is still such a baby. He is so clingy. He is such a mama'a boy.  I couldn't even imagine going back to work.

He has started squealing in delight.

Wearing nine month clothes.

Drooling all the time.

Fingers always in his mouth.

Has not taken to eating solid food.

Loves his sister (most of the time).

Always has to be in mamas arms.

Disneyland 2014

So we drove forever with two little ones and when we got to the hotel daisy woke up and she was freaking out saying home. Home. And kept trying to walk out of the hotel room. Poor thing.

Anywho, this first picture describes the first half of Disneyland and the rest of

The trip...

So does this one... This is not excitement, even though it would be better if it was.

Then this happened, & Restored my faith in Disneyland.

One of my most favorites ever.

And Eli was just an angel baby the whole day. 

Daisy freaking out because the water got her. 

Needless to say we had a lot of fun on this trip. (And mama had a lot of stressful times) I am so thankful for family vacations!
