Pony Ride?

0 comments
Image
After church, we took Olivia out to Tim's coworker's ranch to ride a pony. Olivia was SO excited to be going to ride a pony.

When we got out there, and she saw the living Pony, she decided she didn't really want to ride it. I think she thought we were taking her to a carousel. Oops.
Image

Image

She just sat on it a couple of times. Didn't really want to move. Or hold on. Just wanted off.
Image

She had more fun feeding it grass.
Image

Image
There was the neighbor's dog that she wanted to chase and play with. Wiggles.

Sitting in an old vintage barbershop chair inside the main house.
Image

She absolutely LOVED their corky (sp?) dog…wanted to play with it instead.

9-Month Wannabe

Most all of Eli's clothes are hand-me-downs…so some may be a bit smaller than what's on the tag.

Here he is in a 9 month outfit.

Nighttime feeding...or blogging. Just a summary of the night...

It's 2:20am. Saturday morning. Our friend Carrie just flew in to visit us for the weekend. Ate some yummy food in Chinatown. Got home at 8, kids got bathed. Eli fell asleep at about 9 in his swing. Olivia was in her room. Left Carrie and Tim downstairs to watch New Moon. I retired to bed.

Eli stirred at about 12:50a. Gave him a pacifier. He slept longer. After waking up a bit, decided to pump some milk. Got a total of about 10-12oz. Fed him about 5oz at about 1:20a.

One quick burp. Zipped him back in his Woombie. Checked email...and decided to blog. Should get back to sleep. Our friend Daniel is going to help us take some family pictures tomorrow. Very excited.

Ohh boy...

It's funny how a little (or a LOT) fat changes their look so much.

He had his 2-month checkup today.
13lbs 4oz (75-90th percentile)
22.25in (25-50th percentile)
17? foc (75-90th percentile).

Dry skin/cradle cap. Did you know you can use dandruff shampoo for this?? Never knew.
Did you know that Johnson and Johnson could be making this condition worse? Or flare up? Again, never knew.

Elijah's hair is sooo light. And his eyes are looking kinda light-gray, too. I wonder how they'll be when he's 6 months.

Elijah was wearing his dark blue Nike onesie, so I decided I'd better take some pictures to compare with the last (good) shoot I did with him. So before he fell asleep...
Image

Image

Not exactly sure about these pics…but figured I'd better just post them anyway.
Image

And an image of how we spend most of our days. (Well, Eli's usually in the swing).

Already gaining some chub.

See the top right image? Yes…it seems that Eli has a short temper. He'll go from sleeping to someone-is-hitting-me shrieking in no time at all.

Back when he was still a tiny, skinny baby.

What's with the horse? Well, Olivia had a picture with an elephant. Eli needed an animal, too!

Thanks to our friends the Swans. Without you, Olivia would never know the joy of carving a Halloween Pumpkin. Or painting. Or baking Halloween/Valentine/Gingerbread/etc. cookies. And just about every other fun kid thing that we would normally procrastinate doing with her. :) We love you guys!
