Cookin' with J and S

When Josh and Shelli came to visit last week for Eli, I got to cook chocolate chip cookies!  I am really trying to convince this uncle of mine to let me just eat the chunks of butter - I love them - I am smiling with my eyes to try to convince him!

Concentrating while stirring with Shelli - I am an intense cook!

Finally the beaters - my favorite part - yep I licked them both plumb clean!

Eli's Baptism

"I baptize you..."

Being patient...

4 Generations - Great Grandma Miller, Great Grandma and Grandpa Waetzig, Grandma Karen, Papa Don, Papa Gary, Grandma Kathy, Mommy, Daddy, and Hannah - all for the man in white

What have we done? - not the baptism - 2 kids on opposite spectrum right now - sleep and cry!

Proud Grandma, Uncle and Aunt

Eli Thomas Miller

4 Generations of Waetzig

4 Generations of Waetzig Boys!

Smiles!

Hannah loved getting to say "Happy Mother's Day" 

which was more like "Happy Smothers Day."  

We had a conversation that went like this...

Hannah - My mother is Sarah

Sarah- My mother is Grandma Kathy

Hannah - Grandma Kathy is my Grandma

Sarah - Grandma Kathy is my mother

Hannah - Ok -We can share...

Lovin' the food!  Lovin' the sister!

"Cheese" on my bike from Jeff.
Our conversation about the bike goes like this...

Hannah - Who bring me my bike?

Sarah - Jeff

Hannah - Why Jeff bring me my bike?

Sarah - Because he is daddy's good friend.

Hannah - Jeff bring me my bike because he loves me and he is my friend.  I love everybody.
(Hannah then proceeds to talk about everyone in the family and how she loves them...)

Weekend Fun!

I had a great weekend...haircut, zoo, and church.  Here are a few photos of the events.  

I am playing on the Lion structure at the entrance to the zoo...good times!

The real me!

My friend Liliana...

and here brother Luciano...we make a great bunch!  

We got to climb while our mom's held our little brother (Eli) and little sister (Cybela).  

We had a great time!

Seriously!

Friends forever!

Just Cute

Just cuddling on the couch...dirty faces after dinner...

Sooo tired...

Somebody LOVES her aunt and uncle!  Look at that smile!

The Desert Dome with Daddy!

A forecast of things to come - small guy attacking a big guy!

6 Months!

That's right folks - I am 6 months old today!  Where did the time go?  

I am a sweet and flirtatious guy who knows what I want...mostly to be held and loved by all.  

Not hard to do despite the slobber!

I can sit up by myself for a few minutes now.  How precious am I?

Just relaxin' on my blanket.  Looks like the 9mo old onesies aren't going to last much longer...

I love standing!  I am getting better at balance.  Do I have to waste time with crawling?

Mommy and her monkeys...sweet babes!

Getting love from her sweet boy!

Egg-sighting Easter!

For my first Easter, we went to Grandma Kathy's house.  Josh and Shelli were visiting and we got to celebrate Pam's Birthday a little early.  AND we got to decorate eggs and hunt for them too.  Here are a few photos from the weekend.  I am a happy guy!

Love from my sis!

Hannah was so excited watching the color tablets dissolve she could hardly stand it!

Stirring gently...keyword gently.  We practice "nice touches" with Baby E and were practicing GENTLE stirring...so hard to do when you are so excited!

The eggs - still trying very hard to be gentle!

Grandma Kathy's neighborhood had an Easter egg hunt - there was even an Easter bunny.  I wasn't sure of the bunny, but I was really excited to look for her eggs!

Here is the 3 and under group...a little timid, but we all found 16 eggs!

Here is the neighborhood group.  Quite a fun time and the parents got breakfast!

Learning about all the fun from Grandma Kathy.  Thanks for signing us up for such a FUN and EGG-SIGHTING time!  More picts to come...
