Child Labor

I tried to help Ella with laundry, but everytime I tried she yelled, 'No, I help!'. She finally asked for help after I heard several 'heys!' when she was yelling at the clothes for falling out of the washer, which she was catching with her feet.

4 Month Check Up

Not suprisingly, Miller was in the 95th percentile for length(26 1/2 in), 80th percentile for weight(16lb 10oz), and 90th percentile for head circumference(17 1/2 in). He did great with his shots, and was all smiles for us and big sister afterwards.

Finally Baptism Photos

I'll probably move these later, but wanted to post some shots the church got of Jason and Miller's baptisms in April.

Lunch

Daddy's a sucker for a sick kid. Ella didn't want to eat anything but a few grapes for lunch today, but jumped at daddy's suggestion of ice cream. Sigh...

18 Weeks

It's a good thing Ella is around, or Miller might actually roll onto his tummy on his own!

Ella's 2 Year Check Up

No shots and she got a cool plane! She is 34 1/4 inches high (75%) and 26lbs (50%). What a big girl!

Evolution of a Kiss

This morning Ella gave me a kiss and I heard a 'smack' with it for the first time. How sweet that after 2 years we've gone from the open mouth, to the closed mouth, to the closed mouth with emphasis!

Bet You Can't Do This

Miller started blowing raspberries yesterday, a milestone his sister never accomplished. Must prove that genetically boys are better spitters. ;)

Brrrr, I'm Cold, Mommy!

Ella's version of the wrap

Frick & Frack

Our neighborhood friends joined us for play on a hot, sunny day. Marissa is 2 months older than Ella, and her little brother, Jacob, is 1 month younger than Miller. Marissa always strolls her Elmo over, so Ella insists we go inside and get her stroller and Elmo too.

Ella's 2nd Dentist Visit

Dr. Rhodes couldn't get over how much Ella had changed (see post in June 2006). He said she had 16 beautiful teeth with plenty of room for her adult teeth to come in. She had a great time watching the fish in the waiting room and even got some toys & a tattoo to take home.

Big Sister

I looked downstairs while getting the kids pajamas and saw Ella on the playmat with Miller holding his hand as usual. They were just so precious in their nakedness, that I had to snap a photo. They'll probably want to kill me for this one day, but for right now, I'm the mommy.

This is Ella at 12wks and Miller at 14wks 'downloading' exersaucer information.

16wks

My parents kept me up until midnight to watch a ballgame and see some fireworks and all I got was this lousy shirt.

4th of July Vacation

The family went to visit the Weaver girls for some Deanna Rose fun and fireworks at the TBones Baseball game. Grandma was able to get through the floodwaters to meet us as well!

Lauren's Pump It Up Party

Ella's friend, Lauren, turned 4 this past week. I'm not sure if Ella or Mommy had more fun!

Best Friends

Miller now smiles when Ella comes around. He kicks in excitement to see her and of course, she yells, 'Miller, no kicking Ella!'

Ella the Scholar

I walked in our bedroom the other day to find Ella curled up in our bed reading this book saying, 'a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h....'
