How they like to play...

The days are starting to become a little more interesting.

Liam is more awake than ever, and gets very upset after hours of being awake.

So now I try to show him toys and put him on the play mats. 

He (at times) enjoys tummy time and kicks away like he's trying to crawl.

He has never really liked being on his back for some reason so those times don't last long

But when he is and he is on the play mat he likes looking at himself in the toy mirror.

He begins to goo and gaa at himself.

And he smiles Oh So BIG!

I just love his smile.

So I have caught him trying to reach for things. 

While on the mat he will reach for the mirror. Like the pic.

I have seen him trying to reach for the monkeys and elephant on the bouncer.

Eliana is getting better with having Liam on the floor.

We obviously still have to keep watching or she will sit on him.

Eliana has become a little obsessed with trying to fit herself into things.

When she was younger, before she could even walk, she would climb into her toy box.

At times she would take everything out and sit in it, or even with toys inside she'd sit in it.

Now she will find any basket and try to fit herself right in.

Her favorite is a green basket that I always put toys in. 

A lot of the times she sits she will fall backwards right after sitting in there.

She's a crazy girl.

When she figured out how to pull the drawers in the dinning area she began pulling them out, taking

everything out, and sitting in them.

Today was probably the funniest one we have seen.

She climbed onto the ottoman, hopped onto the glider, and grabbed Casey's lunchbox.

It was on the couch.

After a while of complaining that the top part of the lunchbox didn't come off she did her usual.

She fit herself right into it.

And thanks to my dad who found out that Eliana loves soup and called me earlier this week to ask if I was giving her soup. To which I replied no...oops... I bought her to "make" her soup and voila. She was so happy. 

Look at her enjoying that soup with some oyster crackers. mmmm

Oh these kids. And lots more to come.

This year I am excited about Valentine's I can't really say what I am doing for Casey because he just might read it. I will write about it when it's all over though. I just hope that Casey knows how much I love him and how much he means to me. Oh how blessed I am.
