My 2 Favorite Men

I couldn't resist sharing this picture. I love their smiles, I love their gang signs (and yes, they are in a gang together--it's hard work being the only woman around here), and I love Elyas's new Halloween jammies.

A Few of My Favorite Things Part II

Part I was written back in March when Mr. Cuteness was 7-mo-old. Past favorite activities included strolling, bath time, and sitting up like he was big stuff. Wow...how he has grown from spring to fall. Now Elyas is super big stuff. Here are a few of his current favorite things:

Going on picnics and hikes.









Showing off his teeth.



Getting lots of attention from mom's pretty girlfriends.



Hangin' with his friend, Townes.


Finger painting w/ Aunt Steph.







And hangin' w/ his favorite "ladies" (aka his cousins Ella & Mea).
Can you believe that pose? He gets that lover boy attitude from his daddy.


And last, going down the stairs super fast. He's actually been doing this for a few months now. Jason taught him this skill. I wasn't very happy about it but decided that even though it wasn't exactly the safest thing for him to be doing, at least he's a risk-taker.

Do you know how bad I'm going to feel for posting this video if he gets hurt doing this??
