In case you were wondering...

This is Eli when I was making dinner last night. No improvement from my last post here

He's still as tricky as ever. I was hoping he would turn a corner at 6 months, but he's 8 months already. Now I'm hoping for the one year mark. You think being surrounded by toys would be more fun than hanging over mom's arm in the kitchen, but nope! The minute he's picked up he stops crying. He's in his jumper crying right now so I'm typing as fast as I can. I've done my best to try and prep as much of the dinner as I can while he's napping, but there's always some point when I need both of my hands and he has to be put down.
I didn't want to leave with only a crying picture since it's sad, so here is a very happy little guy getting ready to crawl. He's only pushing up, not going anywhere yet.

GOOOOOOOAL!

Soccer season is upon us, and it's busier than ever. This year we have two in soccer and Aaron is coaching Kai's team-The Sharks. Kai is loving every minute, he's a serious player even though he's confused a lot of the time. Mia's in her 5th year and is on team "Bright Lightning". All Mia's ever wanted is to be on a purple team, but every year she's green or blue and this year, neon yellow. It was funny when Aaron opened up his coaches bag to reveal Kai's PURPLE jersey. We couldn't believe it! All we could say to her was "maybe next year". Despite jersey color disappointment they are having a lot of fun and have both scored for their teams. Next year we'll have 3 in soccer...I think Aaron and I will need to clone ourselves.
