Moffitt Baby #2!!

Today we went to our anatomy scan ultrasound!
It's a boy!
We are super excited to have another boy join the family! I am so excited and can't wait to see the two rumbling and tumbling together in the grass. Eli will be a wonderful big brother! I told Jeramy that I guess we will have baby #3 to see if he actually gets a kid... because these two boys are mine! Momma's boys!

another view of foot....

sorry... I do have one "anatomy" pic, but I won't do that to my baby boy...just TRUST me... It's definitely a boy! haha!

Eli the Builder

Every evening we go upstairs to Eli's playroom. This week he discovered the fun of building blocks. Of course he also discovered throwing those blocks at us if we weren't paying enough attention to him!

Every time that Jeramy built with the blocks, Eli was eager to tear it down!

Romeo

For those of you who have heard me talk of Eli and his girlfriend at daycare, know that he is super infatuated with her. He follows her everywhere, his face lights up everyday when he sees her, and kisses her at least once a week. Even their Halloween costumes were a match! He was Peter Pan and she was Tinkerbell. Her parents laughed when they realized the lovebirds were picture perfect for Halloween. Here is a pic of the two at the breakfast table at daycare. She is so sweet and precious. She comes up to me every morning and evening for a hug.
I sent Eli to daycare with donut holes and she had toast. He even offered his "holes" to her! What a ladies man!






Ren Fest 2009

We went to the Texas Renaissance Festival last Sunday to attend a birthday party. We went without a camera (fearing it would rain) so we purchased a throw away (dumb idea) while there. Needless to say, the pics turned out terrible. I will try to post what I can of those (if not too grainy) but here are a couple that a friend took of us with her camera.

Eli really enjoyed the festival. He was a people watcher for most of the day. He never napped until 2:45 or so.... finally gave in. Then he slept for about 45 minutes and then up again. We plan on attending the festival again next year... we forgot how fun it was to go!

What a morning....

Eli has had quite a morning.... he had a big breakfast of blueberry waffles and fruit, his first haircut, and then we opened his own savings account!
By 10:30am, he was pooped! Jeramy took my car to get an oil change while Eli and I set off on our errands. Here we are at the gas station before heading home. He was humming himself to sleep. Little man was sleepy!
Next on today's agenda: We will be heading to ToysRUs as soon as he wakes up and then to the Holladays for Hudson's 3rd birthday...
Tomorrow's Agenda: The Texas Renaissance Festival...
weekends are not for the weak!



Eli's 1st Haircut!!

I took Eli to get his first haircut this morning (November 7th). I wanted to make sure it was still able to curl, so it was more like a trim. I was amazed at how well he did. He was a little sleepy so maybe that helped. He didn't fuss or anything! He just sat there and played with the steering wheel of his seat and watched cartoons on the TV in front of him. God blessed us with such a good baby!!
Here he is getting set up for the cut....




All finished! What a great cut and a wonderful little boy!

A Visit to Meet Baby London

We went to the Holladay House to meet Baby London on Sunday after Halloween. She is so sweet and precious. What a beauty, too!!
Momma Gretchen and London
Eli and Hudson played in the backyard...
Eli loved the slide... guess we will be writing a note to Santa this year....
Hudson was so good to Eli. He showed him how to go up and down on the slides.
Jeramy and Jason hung out in the garage and back yard. Those two are like two peas in a pod!
Eli is not too fond of grass. He whines if his hands touch it. At one point, he fell down and was on his tummy. Next thing you know, he was holding up his arms and legs as high as he could and arching his back to get as much as he could off of the grass!
Weeee!!!
Lets go again!!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!!
We went to Aunt Donna's house for her annual Kids Halloween Bash.
Eli was a great sport and enjoyed all the kids and festivities.

Aunt Donna dyed her pool red so that the kids could swim in "blood"!!
The Moffitt's in costume...
Jer was a Bavarian Guy, Eli was Peter Pan, and Mommy was a wicked fairy.
Some of the kiddos swam in the pool before it was "blood"... Eli and Mommy while trick-or-treating....
Part of the "Party Crowd" out trick-or-treating...
Nanna, Jenny, Eli, Daddy, Ike, and Joy....
Happy Halloween!
Eli and Daddy at a house getting candy in the treat basket...

The last house we went to.... Eli went to the door and then tried to go inside to visit!
He loved that everyone gave him treats at every house! He finally started to figure it out!
After the trick-or-treating was over, most of the kids jumped back in the pool
The night ended with the annual cookie decorating contest... here is one of the cookies... those "eyeballs" are jello.... yuck!!

First Night Out....

Friday, October 30th, Eli's daycare had a parent's night out. Jer and I decided it was time to go on a date together. The ladies at Eli's daycare were begging for Eli to attend (they really do love him and take wonderful care of him) and it has been almost a year since Jer and I went somewhere alone. The last time we went out without Eli was Jer's work Christmas party last December...
I picked Eli up from daycare early on Friday, went home, fed him dinner... then brought him back at 6:30. Jer and I went to dinner and movie. Wow.... cant believe that the last time I went to a movie was the day before Eli was born! (I was on bedrest....shh....)
Well, Friday night, Eli refused to go to sleep while at daycare. When we arrived at 10:45, he was wide awake in the rocker chair. Poor Baby... I felt so bad... it was like he was waiting and making sure we were coming back for him! I felt terrible! (To make him feel better --and myself-- I put Eli in bed with us around 4am and he slept with his mommy and daddy)
Eli with his sitter for the evening...

Zoo Boo

Eli and Mommy went to the Houston Zoo Boo on Sunday, October 25th. Daddy went to the Texans football game with Pops so he missed out on all our fun!
I had never been to Zoo Boo before and was impressed! They had trick or treating, jack-o-lantarns throughout the zoo, activities for kids, a pumpkin patch and every kids got a free pumpkin, and lots of entertainment throughout the zoo as well as the regular observing of the animals. Please pardon the pics...I didn't take many pictures since it was just me corralling Eli through the zoo.
Eli's first tattoo!!
Eli picked his own pumpkin from the patch! (and yes.... Eli has a stroller fan....)
Eli walking through the patch searching for that perfect pumpkin!
Eli had his first taste of dip-n-dots ice cream... he loved it!
finger lickin' good!
As we were about to leave, I saw an old friend and her hubby, Jenny and Ricky. I haven't seen them in about 12 years! Here is Eli with their second son, Ashton... what a chunk and cutie!!
When we left the zoo, Eli and I went to Herman Park to play for a bit. He had so much fun! He threw a huge fit when I pulled him away to leave. He had been up all day since 12 noon and it was 4:45.... of course, he crashed as soon as we were in the car! He had a great day... we had a great day together!
