7 Months!

We are shocked that 7 months have gone by!  Mila is doing great.  She talks all the time and can army crawl across a room really quickly.  She is a great eater and will probably be feeding herself in no time.  They love her at day care, and why not, she smiles and laughs all the time!

Before/After

We have spent a lot of time working on the cape house.  This weekend we were down trying to get a few pictures so we can put a rental posting together.  Even though we have a lot more work to do...here are a few before/after pictures of the living room/dining room.  We still want to get new couches but we are going to wait a little longer before making that purchase.

Chatty Mila

Mila has always been a chatty baby but she loves to say "ba-ba"  all the time.  She is sitting up on her own and started army crawling this week.  She is growing up so fast!

Playtime

Elan plays really well with Mila.  Sometimes he is a little too rough but for the most part he is really sweet to her.  We were making dinner and this is what we walked in to see. 

We also think Elan has a bit of a sweet tooth, which isn't surprising given the fact that Mat and I are addicted to chocolate.  Anyway, for Elan there is nothing better than sharing a warm chocolate cookie with Dad!

Cold cape weekend

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa J came to visit.  So, on Saturday we drove down to the cape house to do some work.  We ordered a dumpster and filled it with all the flooring, walls, etc that Mat has ripped out over the last few months.  Saturday was cold but no snow so we walked down to the beach to see the ocean.  On Sunday a storm rolled in so we stayed in the house and painted before driving back to Framingham. 

Mila slept though a lot of our noise while Elan played with Grandma and on the Ipad.

Blizzard 2013

On Friday the Blizzard arrived.  The Weather Channel named it Nemo, which was funny because it was far from cute.  By the end of the storm we had 30 inches in Framingham.  We spent most of Saturday shoveling to keep up with the snow.  Once the snow stopped we played outside.  On Sunday we went sledding twice and played in the back yard.  Mat and Elan built a cave in the snow and Elan was pretending to be a bear.  It was too fun!

And look who is sitting up all on her own!

Stickers!

Elan has been doing great potty training.  When we first started he would get a sticker for going pee and a whole sheet for going poop.  However, now he doesn't need any rewards and just goes on his own.  However, there are some times when he wants a sticker for his efforts.  Tonight, he wanted a whole sheet of stickers....and this is what he got:

He has also been really into helping out with Mila lately.  He really wants to feed her....and eat what she doesn't :)  However we walked into the kitchen and Elan was feeding Thomas....too cute
