Tell Harry some secrets, Eli!

Isaac loved swimming!

Isaac's 3rd Birthday Extravaganza - part 1

Grammie, Aunt Stephanie, and Morgan came to visit for Isaac's 3rd birthday.

Opening presents from Aunt Steph

Eli spent a lot of time in his exersaucer, thumb in mouth.

Eli was intensely focused on Isaac's new toys!

Hi, Auntie Steph!

Meeting Morgan

This is Morgan. Eli likes his hair.

Peek-a-boo!

Love my auntie!

Toy Story is Isaac's favorite thing right now!

A couple of fun videos...

Eli has had some milestones lately (eating solid food, sitting up). Here he is doing some of his favorite things: crawling and bouncing.

Eli's dedication

Today was Eli's baby dedication at church. Grandma, Grandpa, MamMaw Mac and MamMaw Hill came, and Garin preached a sermon called, "Thoughts from a Father to his Son, Vol. II" (he preached Isaac's dedication, which was Vol. I)

Isaac wasn't thrilled to be called up in front of the whole church for the dedication litany.

Opening Day

On the Braves' Opening Day, we traveled down to Atlanta to watch them play the Cubs. It was Eli's first Major League Baseball game (Isaac's second), and probably not the last!

Road trip!

The boy loves his daddy!

The Hill boys watching baseball...

Hats off to #3 - Dale Murphy

The Braves won! Let's go Braves!

Some Easter pics

Isaac, the ultimate big brother!

Isaac has wanted to "hold" Eli a lot lately. And, though he's not quite old enough to do this by himself, we'll let him if we are right there with him!

He's such a proud big brother!

Yesterday, Isaac wanted to feed Eli his bottle, so...

Isaac was watching TV at the time, and he kept missing Eli's mouth with the bottle. It was funny - Eli kept trying to grab the bottle back with his mouth, groping around like a baby bird!

Then, Grammie and Aunt Jessica came to visit.

Isaac thinks that Aunt Jessica is his alone. He may have a rude awakening when Eli gets old enough to play along!
They lined up the cars (and Thomas the Train) and then launched Lightning McQueen over them. (It was pretty impressive!)

RAWR - giant toddler crashes through Radiator Springs!

Eli had his first solid food (rice cereal) that weekend.

Do you think he likes it?

(Me neither - HA!)

Cam and Natalie came to see us...

Before the Ahos moved to Alabama, Cam and Natalie came to visit us. Cam and Isaac had a pajama party!

After bathtime, a giggle-fest in a box.

Nothing like a good book just before bed.

Whacha readin'?


Isaac misses Cam immensely - he often asks to "Go see Cam?" God bless and best wishes in Alabama, Ahos!

Isaac and Eli playing together - they're already becoming great friends!

Eli Rolls Over!!

Tonight after dinner, we turned around and Eli was on his tummy (we had laid him down on his back)! So, we re-created this milestone event for the camera...

(the sound may be messed up - sorry!)

Snowing and sledding in Shelby!

Getting ready for sledding - a breakfast of champions
(raisins, icing-covered biscuits, bananas, bacon, and hot chocolate!)

Gathering at the top of the hill

Peek-a-boo!

Eli, all bundled up!

Isaac is sandwiched between Dad and Jacob...

...this was to be his last sled run!

Father and son

Hot chocolate was definitely Isaac's favorite part!
