Ilijah's First Words

Okay, so he has been able to talk for a while now, but now he really has the hang of it.  Lately, he can say just about everything.  However, here are a few words he says on a consistent basis:

Oh Toooo - dles
Dad & Dadda
Mom, Mommy, & Momma
I DID IT!
Bella
Baby
OH no
No no
Yes Sir is - No no
Yes Mam is - No no
Okay, which he does say from time to time, is also - No no
(Yes, we are correcting this, and yes, he is doing it on purpose.  He just absolutely loves doing it and gets the biggest kick out of it, even when he does get consequences for it.)
Yeah Yeah
Whoohoo!
Gotcha
Cars
Where's the cars?
Juice
More
More Please
Thank you
Bye bye
Hi
Hey
Hello
Kaa-Chow!
Eyes
One, two, three!
GO!
Shoes
Uh oh
Pizza
Night night

Those are just a few of the ones that I could remember of the top of my head.  It is crazy how fast these little ones grow right before your eyes.  I love every minute of my time with them and I thank the Lord for blessing me with the opportunity to raise His little ones.  Ilijah & Izabella, mommy loves you very much.

New Favorite

Ilijah and I have a new favorite thing to do together!  We just love to sit together and eat fresh blueberries.  I would show you a picture of his excitement, but my camera is currently on the fritz.  He just eats and eats and says yum yum yum with a growl voice.  SO SWEET : )

Just For Meme!

So, Meme finally got on me for not posting a blog in over two weeks . . . oops.  Life has just been crazy lately as we try to get our house on the market and as Jacob and I have been doing a drama series for the Hosea series at Two|Four.  No excuses anymore though.  So here is what I have in store for you all today.  Tasha just posted a blog about "If the kid's could have it their way they would..."  So, I thought I would write about my kids as well.  Here goes . . . (they are mostly about Ilijah, but I will write both if it applies to both of them)

. . . eat fruit bars, crackers, pizza and fish sticks all day everyday
. . . watch the movie Cars non-stop all day everyday
. . . drink a gallon of juice a day
