Elli still loves to hold the baby, push him in his swing and lie down next to him on the floor. She reads Ralphy books and shows him all of her toys. ("See this, Baby Raffy?" she says.) She is so good with him! Elli is getting ready for Halloween. Gram made her a costume so she can be a "Baby Indian" (her favorite movies are Spirit and Brother Bear, both of which feature Native Americans as characters). She still loves her horses and her barn and recently she got a Little Tikes kitchen, so she has been cooking all sorts of things like ketchup and corn and coffee and pizza - all the good stuff, you know?! We spend a lot of time at the kitchen table making things with Play-Doh, too.
Ralphy has still been sleeping away most of the days and is sleeping a little more at night, too. He has slept through most of the eventful things in his life so far, like trips to Wal-Mart, visits to the park and walks around the neighborhood. When he is awake he just takes it all in, probably wondering what he ahs gotten himslef into! He is filling out very bit of the 0-3 month clothes already! He seems really strong and he tries to lift his head up to look around when ever he is held. He loves it when Daddy sings to him. Baby Ralphy is a sweet little guy!
Most of our days so far have been spent at home playing, reading books and going out to the backyard. At this point, I'm lucky to remember to feed Max-dog, brush Elli's hair and plan something for dinner. Taking a shower, doing a load of laundry and running the vacuum in one room are all major accomplishments! So, needless to say, our house is a wreck, but we don't care - life is good and we are happy!
