a very merry unbirthday

to eliot :) who is now 6 mos old! He is sitting, reaching and grasping, and letting us know when his toys arent playing how he wants them to :P. He loooooves James, and loves to play tug o' war with him. His favorite toys are a terry cloth doll (wonderful gift :) and a wooden rattle. He is not a fan of the winter weather. He, like james, has eczema so I am back on a full elimination diet to see if we can help minimize it. On our scale he weighs 16 lbs, so he has tripled his birth weight! And by all appearances his paternal grandmother's recessive genes are coming through--his eyes look like they will stay blue. genetics are nothing if not surprising. james is nearly 2 1/2 as well. his face in that picture is his fake smile. yes it looks like screaming. sometimes he adds the scream in for our enjoyment lol. and the snow picture is especially for you floridians lol

that snow makes me cold- but we are having our own "cold front" of upper 50s/60 weather ;)

love the half birthday kings. the fake smile rocks... as does the minivan in the back.

ok enough 1 hand typing for now.

Barbara said that Dr. Burton has a cream that may help Eliot; she'll get the name of it. Poor little guy! I love the 1/2 year celebration for the boys. Every day is a day to rejoice with those two babies!

Becs: you are still an excellent blogger! Hang in there! Being a Mom of 2 will keep you hopping too!

Love, Mom
