The Getschers: Mmm, mmm good

Mmm, mmm good

So we tried in Charleston to feed Eliza rice cereal before Mark left but she was starting to get sick on his last day and instead gave him a lovely treat as a going away present. We were at our great friend's house, the Blairs, and Eliza was filling her diaper... filled it so much that it shot up out of her diaper and onto Mark's jeans and also onto the Blairs newly cleaned carpet. Sorry! So instead the morning we got home we fed Eliza rice cereal (wanted to wait for Mark to see). She loved it! After the firs bite she had the biggest smile on her face.

I love this picture because it shows what she really was doing. Every time Mark brought the spoon even close to her mouth, her arms and legs went crazy with excitement and she could hardly contain herself.

The day after, Ethan wanted to feed her and did a great job at it. Sweet boy.

Ethan's Expressions

10/17/10 Mark came home from a church fireside and Ethan said, "How many fireworks did you see?"
10/1/10 Ethan came home from school and said they made a scarecrow but then said they didn't make it with any "scares" in it.
7/1 Ethan was playing with his good friend Addison outside. Eliza was giving Addison big, cheesy, flirty smiles and, even worse, was blowing kisses at him. I then asked her if she wanted to kiss Addison and she nodded her head yes. Boy crazy already! Ahh!
7/1 Mark was talking about Chris King hubs for your bike which supposedly are the best and, in his words, will outlast the bike rider. Ethan said, "Chris King hubs won't outlast Jesus since Jesus never dies." Smart boy.
12/29 "Eliza thinks Rudolph the Reindeer is HER reindeer." He often comes up with silly things that Eliza "says" like this. He has often told me that Eliza thinks she's a mommy and always is telling him what to do.
12/15 Mark said he would take Ethan on splits with the missionaries if Ethan ate all of his dinner. Ethan said, "Great! But I don't like it (dinner, that is)." He said this about 3:00 before I even started thinking about what we would have for dinner.
12/14 Ethan likes to get into Eliza's crib and play quite often when they're supposed to be sleeping. One night we went to check on them at 10:30 PM (!!) and they were still awake, playing. He excitedly exclaimed to Eliza as we walked in, "It's a miracle we're still awake!!" And then proceeded to ask us, "Is it morning time?"
12/13 Ethan asked me if he could draw all over his body. I cautioned him against it, saying that his body was a temple and that we wouldn't be drawing on the walls of the temple. I wanted him to make his own choice... he thought about it for a while and then asked, "Well then, can I draw a temple on my body?" Smart boy.
