Last friday...

Last friday Elijah went to the finals for his soccer team and they won 4-0. They got Gold! Here's the picture of his soccer team (and work colleagues). I wasnt able to go because I had to work.

Jacen is doing really well with his solids. He's now moved on from rice cereal, and added some pureed carrots to his diet. He really likes them! The only issue is trying to pry his thumb out of his mouth in between spoonfuls- he's quite inpatient, and wants his food fast! I had to take him to the doctors today for a rash he's got, and they weighed him. Here's the shocker: 18 lbs 11oz. Isnt that crazy?!?! He's getting so heavy, Elijah almost refuses to carry him in his carseat out to the car, and wants him to start walking ASAP.

I'm eating solids!

Hello everyone! I'm eating solids now. This morning my mommy introduced me to Rice Cereal, which makes me very gassy and very grumpy so we may have to stop that. But I really enjoyed it. I couldn't get enough of it! I'm still trying to figure out how to eat from a spoon (I blow bubbles into my food), but I'm sure that with a little bit more practice I'll be able to become a pro at it! Daddy took pictures and recorded it on the video camera, all while he was under an allergic reaction to Codeine that's in his medicine for his sore throat from coughing. Mommy said that daddy was doing and saying crazy things, such as thinking he had bees coming after him (last time daddy said he saw dragons while the missionaries were over for dinner when he was younger, it really freaked the missionaries out). Anyway, daddy was playing nice with me, I didn't notice a difference.

Aren't I so cute?
Love,
Jacen

Victor has a blog...

Alright so I made a blog for Victor's emails that we get every week, and here's the link to it: www.eldermouraoinjapan.blogspot.com . I'm posting his emails in English (the originals) and in Portuguese for everyone to read. I'll also scan his pictures and add them on so you can see the pictures he's been sending us!
Love,
Silvia
PS: Victor actually does not have access to it so it's pretty pointless to leave comments unless you really feel like doing it, you're more than welcome to it. When he comes back in 2 years he'll have 2 years worth of material to go through on this blog, so it'll be fun for him!

Soccer!

On thursday we had the privilege of going to watch Elijah play soccer in the Salt Lake City Olympics... ok, so it's really an Olympics that have 16 different companies competing (among them would be Ebay and Marriott Hotels). Elijah played goalie for Franklin Templeton, and the game went into penalty shootout. Elijah saved the winning kick, and his team won 2-1. It was awesome to see him play because he had always talked about playing, but never actually done it in real life for me.

I'm 4 months!

Hello!
I'm 4 months today! Isn't that exciting? Things I enjoy the most now are drooling on my parents and playing with my toys, as my parents wave them in front of my face. I can laugh too, and smile real big for the camera. Soon enough I'll be eating rice cereal and some other baby food... my parents are so excited because my poopie diapers will get REAL stinky!
Love you all!
