Videos of Cuteness

Last Sunday, Connor discovered that if he walks, he can kick a soccer ball.  It was the cutest thing ever.  Since then, he has just taken off completely!  It's amazing.  He walks most of the time now and rarely crawls anymore.  He certainly thinks he's a big boy.

Here's a couple videos from last Sunday when he was just getting the hang of walking and kicking the ball:

And here is just over a week later, on Monday, where he is walking all over the place!

And not to be forgotten, here's one of Eli.  In the past few months, Eli's imagination has really taken off.  He has always loved books and I read to him often, which I think plays a part in this vivid imagination.  His attention span seems to last forever when we read, it's pretty amazing. Several times a day he tells me elaborate stories with lots of drama.  Some about ambulances and firetrucks crashing on the road, some about monsters (seen below), some about camping in the Great Smoky Mountains (where we're going next week on our way to Alabama).  He also likes to make up words a lot.  In this video he used the work "fleeking".  No idea where that came from.  He used it as an adjective - I think maybe it means scary?  Haha.  Anyway, he started telling me this story this morning, and surprisingly kept going when I pulled out the camera.  I got most of it before I ran out of memory.  I love how excited he gets about it.  Enjoy!
