It's Been A While

I know it has been an eternity since I have blogged and I am sure it will be another eternity until I blog again. Life is a bit hectic with an almot 3 year old and an almost 1 year old, working full time, taking care of a new house and just taking care of day to day necessities.

So, what's new? Elliot is 10 1/2 months old and has been walking (yes, walking) for about 3 weeks now. He is all over the place. He is now to the point where he prefers to walk as opposed to crawl, though he still crawls from time to time. He only has 4 teeth, but eats lots of table food (he ate his first grilled cheese sandwich about 2 weeks ago). He babbles a lot, but his only words so far have been "mama" "dada" "pop pop" and "all done" which he only said for like 2 days about 500 hundred times and now refuses to say. He loves to play with Olivia and is starting to become a little more aggressive and stand up for himself. When we went for his 9 month check-up Elliot was in th 50%ile for weight and 12%ile for height. Still short and fat. Oh well. He can always grow.

Olivia is still Olivia. She is VERY sassy (wonder where she gets that from) and went through a phase where she liked to use the words stupid and shut up, but she has gotten better. She also tends to talk back quite a bit (also wonder where that comes from) but only to me. With all of that said, I must say that she is one the most polite almost 3 year olds that I have ever met. She says please and thank you unprompted to everyone and for everything. When someone sneezes she says "bless you" and she is overall just a very caring person. Now that Elliot is getting older Olivia has taken much more of an interest in him and plays with him much more. The funny thing is she sort of plays with him like he's the dog. She will throw a toy and tell him "go get it boy". Geez.
