PLAY BALL!!!

Take me out to the (t) ball game.... Today was opening day for my Mattawan Little League Orange Team (aka The Mario's). We had pretty crappy weather - a nice 50 degree rain, but it was SO much fun playing ball with my friends. My Dad is the coach and is showing us how to play and be good teammates. Stay tuned for many more pictures, hopefully in better weather and with Mummas super zoom lens!

Rounding third base...

Last minute coaching from Daddy, eh hem, I mean Coach

PLAY BALL!!!

Warm up before the game. ...man, this coach is some drill sergeant!!

Catching some grounders

Farmer John

We had a special visitor at my school today, my Mumma! Well, okay, she is pretty special but we also had Farmer John who has a traveling barnyard express where he takes farm animals to schools and helps kids learn about them. It was really kewl and I learned new things like a Mumma cow is called a cow and a girl that's not a Mumma is called a heifer and a boy cow is called a bull. Did you know that? We even got to pet all the animals. After our special Farmer John show Mumma (our classroom volunteer for the day) stayed and watched me play at recess.

Not Too High....

DHSA (Daddy Health and Safety Administration) was sure to keep a very close eye on Myles pushing me in the swing today. I had a ball and the best part was "kicking" Myles as I swung back and forth. We both laughed and laughed and laughed. ....good times!

Superbrothers

Well, we haven't tried jumping off the roof of the shed to see if we can fly since Mumma got us these superkewl superhero capes, but now that I mention it..... :)

The Definition of Boy

boy:/boi/

Noun: A male child or young man.

....that is according to Webster. But what does he know!? Mummas definition of a boy: noise with dirt!

Family Portrait Session

AKA....the biggest goat rodeo you have ever seen!!! Our photographer named the top family collage photo "LIFE". And that pretty much about sums it up for us these days!

Ian - 6 months (well, actually 7, but being the third kid, at least he actually GOT his picture taken!)

My Cousin Wesley

I just love hangin' with my cousin Wesley. I ask Mumma ALL THE TIME "when can we see Wesley?" or "will Wesley be there?".

Grammy Time

I Just Loves Me Some Babies...

I just love babies! I just told Mumma today that I would like a baby girl. She pretty much laughed out loud and said that Ian will have to do for now! This is me and my cousin Addie....

Batman!

Spring Break Sports Camp

I went to a mini-sports camp over spring break and got to play all sorts of kewl sports like basketball, baseball, lacrosse/hockey, and soccer. We even got to go swimming each day. I won a medal Tuesday, I don't remember what for, but man was I proud!!

It's a Bird, a Plane, No....It's....

SUPER ELLIOT

With his extra-special rings of power!!!!

Eight Months....Already!?

Proof!

Okay people, here is the proof....even though every time (and I mean EVERY time) Great Grandma Jean holds me I scream bloody murder, I really do like, well actually love her! :)

Just Another Handsome Boy

...that can now sit up I might add.

Two Teeth

Eyelashes

Now seriously, who has eyelashes that actually cast a shadow....? Elliot does that's who!

Show Off

I decided since my Mother has been trying to get me to sit up all week (for my photo shoot last Friday - stay tuned for the pictures) that I would throw her a bone and just do it. We all know I got the back (aka butt and thighs) to make it happen. I'm still very wobbly and my Dad insists on having a pillow behind me. You can take the nervousness out of the (third time) parents, but you can't take the safety out of my Dad. :)

Still NOT a Fan...

of baby food. Why does she still bother even trying to feed me this stuff? Seriously..... has she seen or smelled what this stuff does to my diapers? It's horrible! The food and the poop, that is. :)

Ian 7 Months

Here I am....my Mother finally had some free time to not only actually TAKE a picture of me, but to also to "photoshop" me. She's still learning and has a long way to go and maybe in like 10 years when she actually has some (non-sleep deprived) free time she can really master this photography thing. Wait, will she really have more free time in 10 years....? :)
