Sorry

Sorry it has taken so long to post, Mommy doesn't know where her time goes.. Not too much excitement over here. Mommy is happy to report that I am doing so much better with Eila. I am willing to let her play with her own toys, sometimes if she is playing with mine and Mommy gives me her mean eyes, I wait until she puts the toy down before I take it. I will even give her a kiss and a hug, sometimes..
I have learned to ask questions... for example: Mommy DO you want to go get my truck out of my room? Mommy: No, you go get it... Me: Mommy YOU want to go get my truck... After about 4 tries, she goes gets it.

I am also starting to get the hang of negotiations.. example: Mommy, "Wes if you poop on the potty we will go shopping and get you a new truck" Me: "how bout a pick up truck?" Mommy: yes what ever you want... Me...After a little fighting, I pooped in the pot, this one time. And I got a pick up truck. I could get used to this!
Another example: Mommy hands me a cup with white milk. Wes: "I want chocolate milk" Mommy: "no you get regular milk" "oh, I don't want regular milk, I want chocolate milk" Mommy:"drink your regular milk then you can have chocolate milk"..... Everybody wins!

Eila is trying to talk and is starting to recognize animals. We have been able to go a lot more now that she is walking, which is part of the reason Mommy doesn't post as often.


Pig tails!





Helping Daddy clean fish...





Sometimes we love each other





We had an AWESOME summer with Alyssa! She started school and we miss her so much! Can't wait until next summer

Always running!

I see Peanut! Look at those curls in the back..

You may wonder why there are a lot more pictures of Eila than me, well I will be the first to admit that I HATE the camera. I intentionally don't look so most of the shots of me will be action shots.
