Our Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas and look forward to a great 2011!

Ella

Fun Times

Ella loves playing with all of Addison's dolls (mainly because that's what Addison loves to share with her). It's cute...

Then we're working on the potty training with Addison. As you can see, she's mastered putting them on (her head that is)! She's getting there but not quite there yet! She's sure got the spirit though!

5 months old!

"Little" Ella is now 5 months old! She is an eating machine-she just keeps growing and growing and doesn't seem like she's our "baby" anymore - but we still call her "Our Baby Ella" (as Addi once used to)! She has fun playing in all her play toys and has recently started eating rice cereal-yummy-she loves eating (I repeat!) Addison is especially excited to see Ella sit up! Addison gets pretty excited about all the new things that Ella does but watch out Addison-soon she'll be into your toys!!! Then life might get real interesting!

Halloween Fun

We had a bumble bee bzzz'ing around and a kitty purring in our house for Halloween. Addison wasn't a big fan of the scary costumes or masks but was determined to keep Trick-or-Treating because as she said, "Get more candy!" Ella was a trooper and loved being bundled in her costume all cozy and warm as we went around the neighborhood.

Addison had a Halloween party with our Mom's Group/friends. They are friends we met at the hospital when she was born and we all still get together with the kids and just the Mom's too (alone at times). It is really fun-all the kids are about 2 years old (within 2 months of each other).

12 weeks old

Our little girl is growing up too fast! Here's a word from Ella:

I love watching my sister dance. My Dad makes me laugh with his funny faces he makes at me. I love sucking my fingers (not my thumb). I still love to sleep 3 hours at a time (my Mom says I need to work on that!) My favorite thing is I LOVE eating, that's maybe why I like to wake up every 3 hours! I am a good napper though and love to be swaddled tight. I just learned how to hold my rattle by myself. I can sit up in my Bumbo sit for a bit. I can't wait to start "playing" with my sister! I get to hang out with my big sister and her friends on playdates, which is always entertaining. My Mom is going to be home with me for one more month and then my Dad gets to be with me through January. That's all for now!

Fall Fun

We have been spending lots of time with the gorgeous weather outside this Fall. Check out our pictures from High Cliff State Park, Little Farmer, and the fire station and more.
