hello to all. i haven't been on in quite awhile. the boys are doing good.

Darius is trying to crawl he mostly rolls around the floor but he has learned a new trick.
he pulls his legs under his stomach and pushes forward. he looks like a worm when he does it.

Elijah is a dare devil. he wants to do everything dj can do. he thinks he can climb the walls. he also trys to discipline darius and tell him hes a bad boy, when hes just being a baby. i tell him no your a bad boy, leave my baby alone. lol he don't care. dj is the boss over him so hes the boss over darius

DJ is doing really good in school learning more words, button up his clothes, and learning how to use the word "me" in the right context. he has been tested by an actual doctor for autism. so he does have it, i will not know the exact kind until the doctor gets done with his test. he says it will take about a week and then i will meet with him again.

Raquel- lol- darius and elijah are on a weird schedule that does not allow for much sleep. i've been having toothaches on and off. besides that i feel really good. i'm glad chirstmas is here. its the happy time of year. yea!!! broke as a joke but otherwise happy.

dj brought me home another coloring picture or so i thought.
he was trying to take it off the refrigerater and i said "no dj. thats mine, you gave it to me."
very clearly and seriously, he says "No, i give it to moom moom."
talking about his daddy!!
sometimes he calls him daddy and sometimes he still calls him moom moom.
so on the back i'm gonna write to: moom moom from: dj

i found some really cute shoes for Darius on ebay, but they cost $39.99.
Is that to much for baby shoes?

DJ brought home a coloring today from school.
his first one. how exciting!!

DJ, Eli, and Darius

DJ is getting to be such a big boy now. He is in school and he loves it. So much so that when the van drops him off at home, he waves bye and says (and i quote)"bye bye, I love you!" Since he started he has been saying a lot of new words and sentences. He likes to do almost everything by himself that he can. He is a good big brother besides him and Elijah fighting. He still won't go #2 in the potty. He will go in the bathroom and go #2, just not in the potty.

Elijah is getting to be a big boy too! He wants to help do everything from changing the baby to sweeping the floor to doing the laundry. He is talking pretty good. you have to really listen to understand what hes saying. He is a very jealous man. he is jealous of DJ and Darius. He wants to be able to do everything DJ gets to do, but also wants to get all the attention that Darius gets. And he pees in the potty!!! i just hope it doesn't take him long to poop in the potty like his big brother.

Darius is 5 months old now. He talks and coos and smiles and laughs. He is a LOUD screamer. when he cries you can hear it from one end of the house to the other. He thinks its my job to hold him every second of the day. He is spoiled!! Besides that hes a good baby. He likes baby food. And he thinks DJ is the greatest, while he screams when Elijah gets to close. He has already made both of his older brothers cry. he clocked DJ upside his head with his rattle. he has pulled elijahs hair and pinched him on more than one occasion.
