Happy 2nd Birthday Elihu James!

Elihu James

You certainly are a funny boy! 

You are talking like crazy now. And you say the funniest things. 

You don't like to watch movies as much as your older brother. 

You love to read books and will shove a book at anyone who comes over and is sitting on the couch.

You are very good at saying "Peeze!" and "Mank you, Mommy!" when you should. 

You can be quite bossy towards your brothers and sometimes even me. 

I still think its cute though.

You love Solomon and know how to make him smile.

But you call him "Sol-mon".

You like to have cereal for breakfast and call every cereal "Cheerios".

You like to push the cart and help put things in it when we go shopping. 

You are a good little helper. You like to put things in the trash can when asked.

You have the most adorable run. You run up and down the hallway saying "Nrun! Nrun! Nrun!" and waving your left arm in a funny fashion.

You call your big brother "Si - sah".

You have a very contagious laugh.

You still eat more than Josiah most of the time.

You give wonderful kisses and like to tell me you love me!

And I love you too!

Happy Birthday Sweet Eli!

Josiah Funnies

Garrett and I were talking and I mentioned that something would be funny. Josiah overheard this and said, "Hahahaha! Thats funny!" 

~~~

I had just fed Solomon and gotten him to sleep in his car seat (we were heading out the door) and Josiah started to play with Solomon. I asked Josiah to please stop playing with Solomon as he was sleeping! Josiah did not listen and I had to tell him a second time. This time, his response was, "No, he's MY Solomon!"

~~~

Eli was sitting on his car and Josiah was pushing. I told Josiah to stop because its not nice to push and he could hurt Eli. Josiah responded, "But he's touching me and I'm trying to get the bug!" Okay maybe its not so funny, but I'm amazed at how well he putting sentences together.

~~~

A lot of his sentences lately have started with "He, he, he is...."

~~~

He wanted me to take him outside. But I told him that I should brush hair first. So he ran into the bathroom and grabbed a baby brush and came back and started to brush my hair. He then stepped back, looked at it, and said, "Thats better!"
