3 months for E and 32 months for G

Its's hard to believe that Eloise is already 3 months old. This last month has been fun, and a little less crazy than the 2 months prior. She's so smiley...as you can see in this first picture of her.

Eloise at 3 months:
*She started laughing today. At first I noticed her laughing in her sleep, but today she laughed when I tickled her tummy.
*She's regressing a little with her sleep. She's going to bed around 11:30 or 12 and sleeping until 6 or 7. She was going to bed around 10 and sleeping until 5 or 6.
*She can roll from her back to her side pretty easily. She just hasn't made the full roll yet.
*She's lost most of her hair on the top of her head...still has some on the back though.
*All she wants to do is sit up straight. It's kinda sad when she's reclining you can see her trying so hard to sit up, but she just can't. She's working those abs hard.

Graham at 32 months:
*Well, he's fully regressed on his potty training. He doesn't tell us at all when he needs to go; however, if you take him, he'll always go. I'm a little worried because next year at his school, he has to be potty trained. It's several months away I know, but I'm already worrying about it.
*He loves his sister. He's so kind and gentle with her. His kind spirit just blows me away every day. I've decided and I think he has too, that he was not meant to be an only child.
*He can say his alphabet. Sure a few letters get left out...especially there in the middle, but he's got most of it.
*At school, they've been talking about pets and what they need to survive (ie. food, water, shelter). He's been so cute because he keeps repeating it. He's even been hand feeding Lucy.

On a side note, we are so excited and proud of Uncle Andy (Jeff's brother). He competed with about 100 other tuba players for one spot in the Chicago Lyrical Symphony. Uncle Andy won the job and will be moving to Chicago in August to start his professional tuba playing career. If you're ever in Chicago and you go to the Opera, you'll see Andy...the one and only tuba player.



He built this long train all by himself. Papa's been teaching him the ropes.
Eloise playing with the age appropriate toy and Graham playing with the same toy that is not age appropriate...haha
The beautiful flowers my hubs sent me just because.
