Silly Silas

We really haven't had too much going on with us. I'm realizing what boring people we are. Silas is getting SO big. We think he just had a growth spurt because all he wanted to do was sleep and eat. and it now seems like he is about a foot taller than he was a week ago. Our couter tops are no longer safe. If somethings on the table unless it's in the very middle he'll get to it. And we have to keep everything pushed way back on the counter tops. He's also starting to be able to reach the door handles. He hasn't yet figured out how to open them on his own but he'll get there real quick I'm sure.
So we watched General Conference a couple of weeks ago. I love Conference weekend and so does Eric but sadly it was one of those rare weekends when Eric had to work on Saturday so it was just Silas and I for the Saturday sessions. The kid is already acting like a teenager. This is a picture of him watching conference. :)

And here's just a picture of Silas doing one of his favorite things, walking around in Eric's shoes. Drives Eric crazy because his shoes are never together because Silas only walks around in one at a time.

For about a week everytime I went to pick Silas up from a nap or in the morning this is how he'd be waiting for me in his crib. He cracks me up. :)

It's been awhile!

So there hasn't been a ton of stuff to blog about lately. We did take Silas on his first camping trip last weekend and we had a blast! But sadly no pictures because we forgot our camera and didn't want to risk hurting our phones so we left those in the car. Silas loved playing in the dirt and being outside all day. Although he did not enjoy sleeping in a pack and play so he didn't. He threw a fit and ended up on the air mattress with Eric and I. No one got sleep. :) but besides the rough night it was really nice and Silas did alright around the fire.
Right now we're a bit stressed. We've been trying what carrer path Eric's going to take now. We looked into him being a lineman but I got scared off when they talked about how much he'd be away for the first three years and how much money it would be for lineman school and a truck and trailer and other such things. So now we're doing a lot of praying and looking for some guidance as to where to look next. Be praying for us!
So not sure if I'll actually do it but I'm going to do my best to keep the blog updated. :)

Silas and Eric had their first of many games of catch today. We've been keeping very busy around here with my family visiting then a trip back to Idaho. But we're getting back into our normal routine so I'll hopefully be better about blogging.

So I haven't been keeping up with the old blog. I'll try to catch up. My family's in town so we took a little drive up to Forks and La Push. Forks was a let down. :( I'm not sure what I was expected but there wasn't much to see. La Push was very fun. We went to first beach and the babies got all sandy and dirty. 

So I've had a wonderful Mother's Day. Eric made me yummy pancakes for breakfast and Silas (Eric) got me these canisters. I've wanted some for awhile. Eric wasn't sure what to put in the smallest one and was going to fill it with chocolate but I'm trying to figure out what Silas is allergic to so I'm off chocolate for a bit. After church all three of us took naps and when Silas finally woke up Eric got up with him and let me sleep another TWO hours. So nice! Then tonight Eric made an amazing dinner of salmon and grilled steak. It was very impressive and everything was perfect.  

Silas enjoyed Easter. Last year before he was born I got him an Easter outfit but his vest was the only thing that still fit. 

My second attempt at an update

A few weeks ago i had a empty diaper box in the living room and Silas crawled to it and pulled himself up and started using it as a walker. He loves it. He makes this face the whole time he's walking around. I went to the store without the boys the other day and brought them home some bubbles to play with. Silas wasn't really sure about them. He tried to grab a few but mostly just looked a little unsure. During conference this weekend Eric got some cuddles.

Silas is now up to 5 teeth. He loves having his teeth brushed. I made the mistake of leaving his toothbrush and toothpaste on a low table and Silas put the tooth brush on his little thumb and was brushing his teeth. He thought he was pretty funny.

So we finally got a day of sun shine about a week ago and Eric had the day off so we were able to go out and enjoy it. We tried to get some good pictures of Silas but he wasn't really in the mood. Here he's doing his trick where he stands on Eric's hand. Sadly he wont be doing this for much longer, he starting to notice how high he is and bends his legs. I went to the store while Eric watched Silas so I brought them home a treat, BUBBLES! Silas wasn't too sure about them. We'll try again when we can play outside.

This was my second attempt at putting these pictures on. I hope it works this time!
