We've had a great past couple days. It's been nice having grandma and grandpa Hoyt here. Aiden has enjoyed the extra playmates and Eli has enjoyed being held all the time. Eli is starting to make some expressions and even smile.
As you can imagine, it's hard to get a picture of Eli smiling because he does it so fast but we did finally get a picture (see picture in bumbo below).
In the above picture Brad has Eli on Aiden's zebra bouncing around. I love the picture below ... what a cute smile. He can only take a few minutes in the bumbo but does pretty well in it. He loves watching his older brother do things so that helps too. He was watching Aiden play with his bus that makes noise when this picture was taken.
Mom and dad Hoyt with Eli in the picture below. He's been spoiled with holding and love lately but we've tried to taper off a little today.
We stayed up late last night playing cards and Eli was awake with us almost the whole time. We love playing cards and wish we played them more often. Last night we played Hand Over Foot and that's what we played again today.
In the picture below Aiden is blowing his good night kisses. He is too cute. All four of his one-year molars are coming in at the same time. He's doing pretty good now but the first one through was a nightmare.
Aiden is still be Mr. Picky Eater and decided not to eat veggies tonight. It's frustrating but hopefully he'll get back on track. Aunt Pat got Aiden this old-fashioned Coke car that has pedals in it. Aiden LOVES it and was trying to ride it everywhere today. We have to shorten the pedals so he can reach them. For now, he just shuffles his feet along to move it.
It got pretty cold and windy today. We did get some new news about Brad's orders. We were pretty sure we were going to Norfolk but that just got changed. We are headed back to Jax. I have mixed feelings because we'll move around June/July and Brad deploys for 7 months in September. That's the stinky part. It looks like way move be able to move into our old house although it will be a tight fit now.

Below is a cute video of the boys today. I had Eli on Aiden's lap at one point and took him off and Aiden signed and said "more." How cute. He's starting to like his little brother. Mom and dad Hoyt leave tomorrow. Mom and Brad are sick tonight from lettuce they had on their sandwich. That stinks.
