Eating, Music Programs, T ball, and Such

I found some pictures from February with Elias going to town feeding himself for one of the first times with a spoon. He's done it before but I usually stop him as to avert a mess. This time it was all him for the whole meal. I thought it was funny.

Success!

Our little thumb sucker.

 He kept doing this all over the material I laid out on the floor in order to trace him. We were all laughing so he kept doing it and laughing too. I trace each of the kids every birthday they have to see how much they've grown. I'm not always on time. He is 15mo, not 12. Close enough.

 Olivia took him on a sweet ride.

 We went to the zoo. Kids were excited that the cow utters were on. (They were off for the winter...milk freezing I suppose...haha) It looks like one had a leak.

 There is a giraffe in the picture.

 The Troop.

 Thought this was a fun look.

 I set this block of cheese out to cut but Elias got a hold of it before I did...and then he wouldn't let go. So I let him eat off the block till he was done.

 And Isaac couldn't wait on me to refill his cup. So he found another way. There's a word for that. I just can't think of it.

Olivia was SOOOO excited for her kindergarten music program last week. I was too really. Fun to watch.

 There she is. During the last song she was one of the ones who got to wave a bandanna.

 This past weekend we went to IJAMS nature center. We stopped and talked to the couple who owned this big dog. There were actually 2 of them.  I think the kids are glad Luci is not that big.

 Isaac did not fall in the lava.

 Happy to be out of the lava. My foot was burning off.

 Bird's nest.

 On the trail, Olivia found this rock but Elias thought it was so funny to carry it around and throw it down every now and again. My back will be glad when he can walk all by himself. However, I think I will have to do A LOT more chasing with this one.

Isaac started T ball practice last weekend. Coach Trever is in yellow. Assistant Coach Justin is there too! Justin and Trever worked together last year and 2 prior to that.

 Assistant Coach Derrick helping him bat.

Elias has absolutely loved the water/rock table. He's only gotten to play a couple times with it. Summer will be fun.

 Thanks Gramp and Nana for the soccer goals!
