hanging out with friends

while in the fort, we got to hang out with some fantastic friends, and they just had a baby. Like a week ago! This adorable guy on the left became a big brother. So we came over to meet him and spend some great friend time. Graham and Elliott came along and were so good and nice.

cousins

We got to spend some QT with our cousin Z. He brought over some TMNT stuff and the boys played. Don't ask me which color is which turtle, I cannot keep them straight. They were do adorable. And they kept running away from Bennett. And screaming. 

And they went with me to get lunch. 

And checking out a game on the ipad. They did OK with taking turns and playing different stuff. It was a blast having all the boy together. Loud, but a blast!

up to the fort

We decided to spend a few days up at the fort his past week. We had a good night of nice weather, so we got bubbles out for the boys. 

Bennett liked the bubble and kept running all over the place

Graham showing off his Jedi shirt, and his smile, and that he has to pee. 

Elliott in the bumbo!

seriously?

We were up feeding Elliott, I had just finished working, and this is in my bed. He is taking up the whole thing! Thankfully he is easily moved, but still....kids!

bumbo Elliott

our sweet neighbor let us borrow their bumbo so Elliott can have a different view of the world. He seems to like it....well, he doesn't cry while he sits in it, so I think that means we are winning with it. And he can see his brothers better, and he loves that. 

sweet Elliott

He is just adorable. And the smiles melt your heart! He is starting to grab onto stuff and put it in his mouth. I think this means teeth are around the corner. Ugh, teething!

and he has found his thumb. He hasn't used it instead of his pacifier, but he knows where it is. 

tummy time

So remember I said Elliott hates tummy time? Well, he has decided to be a champ at it! His physical therapist will be stoked when we go back next. He has really started supporting his neck better and making it work. It is awesome. 

And Bennett is a big fan and supporter of Elliott on his tummy

so serious and so happy

"you looking at me?"

good job E!

Bennett being Bennett

You come home from the store with TP, and realize you can't find. Why? Bennett has taken over the packages and is jumping on them, throwing them, and falling all over them. Eventually the plastic breaks and now the rolls are exposed, so when you come down the stairs, it looks like random TP rolls are around the house.
