Pumpkin Patch

Eddie went to the pumpkin patch in Elgin with some of his friends from Kindermusik. He has so much fun. We took a hay ride through the Christmas trees that they grow here.

Star Wars

You probably cannot tell, but on the TV is Star Wars. Daddy has been watching a lot of it recently and Eddie is watching it with him. He decided this night that he was tired of wearing clothes, but opted to keep the shoes on. At least this time it is two of the same shoe.

What a cute smile

Eddie has learned to smile when you ask him to....this is what you get from him. If you look through the web album, you will notice the pictures that we have asked him to smile. What a cutie!!

Daddy is home and we are so happy!!!

Eddie W misses Eddie F

EW had a little meltdown on the day that Daddy was returning. EF had been in Orange, TX to help with Hurricane Ike relief and Mommy and EW had been on our own for the entire week. EW did very well just talking to Daddy on the phone throughout the week, but on Monday, while Daddy was getting ready to come back, EW missed his Daddy very much. EW was pointing at the door saying "outside, outside" and "dada, dada". Many times Daddy calls as he is coming home in the morning after his shift is over and we go outside to wait a few minutes to see him. Unfortunately, when Daddy called Monday morning, he was several hours away from us. So, EW had a little meltdown.

Getting Ready for IKE

I went to the store with Mommy to help shop for supplies in case Hurricane Ike comes to visit us.

Fantasy Football

I helped Daddy pick his fantasy football team!!! Let's see how they do!

One more favorite thing

Eddie has only recently started eating more. This is one baby food that he will eat....this is the only flavor!!! (and I can only find it sometimes at Target and BabiesRUs) Also he eats YoBaby yogurt....but only the vanilla and banana flavor(found only at HEB on Gattis and most Wal-marts).

However, you will all be happy to know that he now eats taco meat, meatloaf, french fries, and mac and cheese. He ate some chicken nuggets for me, but has refused to eat them in front of his Daddy, so Ed does not believe that he will eat chicken. He ate some rice the other night while eating some taco meat.

He loves ice cream!!!

We are trying to branch out, but he still spits most veggies out of his mouth. We will get there, one bite at a time.

Favorite things

I have to stay up for a bit to take my medicine, so I thought that I would blog a little about some of Eddies Favorite Things.



This would be teething tablets and Tylenol. He actually takes them without a fuss because he knows that they help with his cutting teeth. (I think Mommy and Daddy like them more than Eddie, though.)



Here we have a little doctor bag. I searched around for an inexpensive one with a stethosope. When I go get my allergy shots, he tries to take the real one's away from the nurses. One day we were there when it was not busy and Trish let Eddie walk around with her stethoscope around his neck. He was so excited and proud!! I think on the picasa website, I have some of him playing with the kit.




Balls....what can I say....we have so many (these are only a few). He loves throwing them all over the place. We have had to put away the plastic and harder ones for now....he really has an arm and can hurt you, if you are not expecting it.





We have to thank one of our KinderMusik friends for introducing us to these. Much better than goldfish (less sodium). Only problem is that I can only find them at Target. They were on sale last week at Target, but each time I went, the shelf was empty. I am sure they will have more after the sale!

A new school year

Well, a new school year is starting and I am staying home, again. Who could leave this cute face???

I really do miss all of my friends from teaching. I was not good this past year about keeping in touch. Hopefully I can get back in touch and start seeing them some. I am starting to get out and do some things with a mom's group around here. Also, since I have been taking Eddie to KinderMusik for the past year, I have gotten to know some of those moms. We have started getting together some since our boys are all about the same age.

Wow! I never thought that another school year would get started and I am almost not missing it. I still have stacks and boxes of stuff in the garage that I guess I need to go through and trash a lot and donate a lot to those still teaching. Of course, when do I have much time. When Eddie naps, I try to clean up the house, eat lunch or just relax for a bit.

You know, I wouldn't change a thing. I have so enjoyed being home with Eddie this year and getting to watch him grow into the very strong minded little boy that he is. I have taught him some sign language and a few words. He is such a precious little boy.
