King Family

This great family shot was taken by my Uncle Wynn the day before Thanksgiving after we visited with my Aunt Val, Uncle Wynn and Wynn's sisiter Glenda in Bloomington, IL. Such a treat to see family!

It is Eli's World and We Just Live in It!!!

The King Men All Hanging Out!!!!

We forget to update you on Super Toddlers stats from his 2 year check up. He was 39 inches and 34 lbs which once again is off the chart for height and weight. Our Dr., whom we love more than anything, told us that Eli is the size of a large 3 year old and looks very proportional! We love that. If he continues to grow at this rate he will only be 6'6 not the 6'8 we original imagined.

So, Eli has picked up some very interesting new phrases that he likes to use at interesting times. Yesterday, our sitter Emily came downstairs while Eli and I were playing in the basement first he said "EMily come down stairs RIGHT NOW!!!!" (he loves to tack right now onto all of his sentences for effect!!!). Then when she got downstairs he said "Hi Sweetheart". It was like he was picking her up in a bar. That is better than two days ago when he yelled up from the playroom to the kitchen where I was cooking "Hey Baby, Whats happening?". Yep, he is Mr. smooth and we worry for his teenage years...a lot!!!

My personal favorite phrase is "I love you too much". Not so much, but too much!!!

Nate's New Bag of Tricks

Daddy was jealous of my fauxhawk so he tried to give me professor hair. The Fauxhawk came back 2 minutes later. The hair will not be denied!!!!

Nate is constantly surprising us with new tricks. He will now pull up into the crawling position and the boy rolls and scoots anywhere he wants to go. There is no stopping Nate when he is on a mission. Nate also has a new eye color. For the longest time we thought they would be brown then they turned blue but we are pretty sure that he has settled on green! They are gorgeous! Our little maniac also babbles a ton and blows rasberries like a champ. His favorite word to babble. Momma!!!!! YEAH!!!! Finally, Nate has the interesting ability of turing orange when he eats sweet potatoes, squash, or carrots! Awesome. Check out the orange nose! What a sweetie!

Happy 8 months Nate!!!

Happy 8 months Nate!!! Our little guy is getting so big so fast. He is a big eater, a big snuggler and generally big personality! He continues to be the sunniest baby ever. We are so blessed with our two gorgeous boys!

Best Bro's

Nate is pretty sure that Eli is up to no-good! He looks worried.

You decide: Sweet sharing moment or momma snapped the photo one second before Eli snatched the rattle out of Nate's hands?

Nate LOVES to touch, grab, pull-on, wrestle or slobber on Eli.

Just thought I would post some more cute brother moments. Eli and Nate are going to be best friends...someday. Love the matching sweaters Grammy!!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Eli!!!!!

EATING MY BIRTHDAY DINNER: PIZZA!!!!!! WITH BEST FRIEND THOMAS!!!

I DIG THEREFORE I AM! LOOK AT THAT SMILE!

AN ARTIST ALWAYS TAKES HIS TIME WHEN PICKING OUT COLORS!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Eli, Happy Birthday to you!!!!! Momma and Daddy can hardly believe that their miracle baby is 2 years old. You constantly amaze us with your sweet nature, wild guy antics, non-stop talking, and creativity (not to mention your sense of humor, smile, and snuggle abilities). We love you so much and cant wait to see what the next year brings...more toddler chaos!!!
