John Family: 8 Months Old
http://averagenamenotsoaveragelife.blogspot.com/2014/03/8-months-old.html
Wednesday, March 5, 2014. Our little 8 month old! Well this month I'm only two days late! So that's something to celebrate! February was good to us - a week ago, I started my first class since Eli has been born. It's nice to be in an actual class. These online classes are really killing me. I do not enjoy them. Also, the snow cleared! Then on Saturday it snowed a ton. But luckily, it's almost clear again now. Thomas has been able to go shooting a few times now with a friend. He LOVES standing now! I thin...

John Family: Ramblings
http://averagenamenotsoaveragelife.blogspot.com/2014/07/ramblings.html
Thursday, July 24, 2014. Whew So many things have been on my mind these last few days. I've talked to Thomas a lot about everything. But there's just something about writing my thoughts and feelings out. Even if no one ends up reading it - I can pretend someone is. I don't really have a plan of what I want to write, so if this is confusing or sounds like rambling, I apologize in advance. And here's a picture of Eli for good measure (: More on our family in a day or two. Maybe tonight. Sam and Marla Gale.

Wednesday, January 8, 2014. First of all, I'm really sorry that I'm just now posting this. Eli has been 6 months old for a whole 5 days now! Gaining on six. But things have been a little crazy with the holidays. So this might be a bit short as I just finished my school work and would like to head to bed. (:. Here's a Christmas-y one (:. Anyways, Eli is doing great as ever (: He is still just a peach! Some great things about Eli right now:. He loves attention. He loves being held, he loves being talke...

John Family: November 2013
http://averagenamenotsoaveragelife.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 11, 2013. I thought it was cute that his foot was caught in the ring 3. So last Wednesday we went in for Eli's 4 month check-up. As some of you may recall, I was a little concerned that he hadn't gained enough. Well, we had right to concern. As it turns out, Eli hasn't gained any weight since his 7 week appointment, and not much height either. Also, my dad got to visit us for a couple hours on Wednesday - wish I had pictures - before Eli had his appointment. It was so nice to see him!

Saturday, February 15, 2014. Well first of all, Happy Valentine's Day everyone! It was a busy, but fun day for us (: When I woke up, Thomas had taken care of Eli, cleaned the kitchen, and set out flowers, chocolates, cards, a necklace, and potted flowers (for summer) for me from him and Eli! It was Thomas' first time seeing it! So fun (: Forgot how great that movie is. Still working on my writing - but for the frosting being way too soft, I think my rose turned out awesome!

John Family: October 2013

Thursday, October 3, 2013. He is so much fun! Can't believe how much our little guy has grown! He has such a personality and he is so much fun to be around! He is a big time talked - don't think I mentioned that in his 2 month old post, but he just loves to talk. He'll talk to me and Thomas for a long time and he'll even do little complaints if he's annoyed. I love when he talks to me (: He makes me the happiest mom in the world. He is full of smiles! He LOVES to sit up! He can't do it on his own yet, bu...

John Family: December 2013

Tuesday, December 3, 2013. He's officially a sitter-upper! Eli has grown SO much in this past month! He is not officially sitting up! I had a feeling it would happen sometime around now because he just loved sitting up and tried pretty much all the time. And he's finally got it! Sometimes he lasts longer than others - he tends to do best in the mornings when he has the strength, then later in the day he kind of gets slumpy. But man I'm loving it - still have to watch him, but it's great. He does even bet...

Wednesday, June 4, 2014. So this is a day late - it's been pretty busy around here. But man, Eli is growing up so fast! Can't believe it's already been almost a year! Eli is so fun! He loves growling and making hilarious noises. He'll just crawl around and growl. He's so adorable. He' so good at sharing. He shares everything with us! Such a sweetie (:. Eli is getting so big! And yesterday he colored for the first time. We've tried to get him to color before, but he just didn't care to or wasn't capab...
