Driving Miss Ella

Le Chocolate!

Long lines and antsy kids, made for a nibble on the spot necessary. Ella liked the ice cream and smores(unmelted), while Miller preferred Daddy's gum.

Lady Razorbacks!

The Weaver girls came down for a visit over MLK weekend. We had great family time and checked out the Ladybacks. Girl Power!

Ella Antics

These are some pictures I've caught over the past couple of weeks of Ella in action. She was listening to her dance music and next thing I know, she's got her tap shoes on, Minnie ears on, and pants off dancing to the music. One day she came in growling at me with my gloves on saying, "I'm the Dragon Glove, Mom!"(again, without clothing). Another day I found her in the living room 'nursing' Strawberry Shortcake. She did this again with dolly at church last week. At least she had all of her clothes on there.

Belated

Here are a few pics from Christmas that I forgot to post (okay, so I didn't forget, just procrastinated). Ella loved the carousel at our new Chuck E. Cheese and Nadia thought the horse was pretty cool. The last one is of the cousins at Dominics house pretending to be puppies.

Miller is 10 Months!

Kind of reminds me of King Kong or Godzilla and poor Gable is a skyscraper.

ANNIE

Ella enjoyed her first live theater this weekend. Of course she loved any and all scenes with kids, dogs, & presents. Thank you to Daddy's coworkers for a fabulous Christmas present!

Can I Get A Witness?

This is not the clearest of photos, but does demonstrate how quickly our 'baby' is growing. He can pull almost anything off a tabletop, the shirt is a 6-12month (nice crop top), and he can play peek-a-boo & wave goodbye. Oh yeah.... and he got his 8th tooth yesterday.

No Fun Being Sick

After mommy recovered from the bug over New Years, Daddy and Ella both woke up with it Sunday morning. They were too cute resting in bed watching tv together. Thank goodness they are both back to good health now and Miller dodged it altogether.

Knock Knock!

Miller's been into closing doors for a while now, but since he's been pulling up everywhere, this is the greeting you get when you open the door.

Happy Birthday Aunt Carmen!

The Better To Eat You With, My Dear!

Mr. Miller is on a roll. He popped his 7th tooth up last night.

Aunt Aimee's New Man

It's always nice when you find a guy that's good with kids.

Nadia's New Do!

Although Aunt Aimee and Audrey just got a trim, Nadia decided to go all 6 year old on us and get a new cut! You go girl!

Miller's 1st Christmas

Ella & Miller set out the snacks for Santa and the reindeer. That morning they both enjoyed opening their gifts with Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma. I think Ella was a little disappointed that she didn't get to 'see' Santa. Before bed she jumped up and down and said, 'It's Jesus' birthday!' What kid doesn't like a good birthday party?

Christmas with the Hudmans

The Hudman's came down for a nice long visit before Christmas and played with Ella until she dropped. Miller and Jake enjoyed pawing and crawling over each other as usual.

Ella's Last Day of School

I took this picture by her school bag to show how much she's grown and that it's time to move on....both by moving up to the 3-4 year old class in January and replacing the pictures (which I think were taken around 11months old).

9 Months Old!

Our handsome man had his 9month check up last week and got his 6th tooth today! He was 29inches tall (80%), 21 lbs (70%), and still had a big ol' head at 18 1/2 inches (90%). He is consistently sleeping through the night, nursing 3 times/day, and starting to eat lots of the same foods we eat. He loves to hoot and holler with his sister and crawl with speed everywhere, racing mommy and daddy to the water bowls and the staircase. He has lots of bumps and bruises on his head from opening/closing/walking into doors, and pulling up while sometimes falling down. :(

Good Times

Dameon & Miller provided entertainment at the Thompson Christmas Party this year.

Happy Birthday, Daddy!
