Soccer & Snow








We have finally got to take Lily sledding for the first time. She isn't quit sure what she thinks of it. She said she didn't like it, but then wanted to go again and again. We had a hard time getting her to get back in the car. It was freezing that day so we only stayed out a while.
The others are more of soccer! She has one more week and we will be finished with sports for a while.
BIG NEWS!! Ella's first tooth popped through yesterday. We wouldn't have known, since she's been sweet as pie and happy, that she got a tooth till I stuck my finger in there!

6 months already







Where has the time gone and why does it go by sooo much faster with this second little angel? Ella turned 6 months old yesterday (late post because I had to work).
Here are some fun new things she is doing:
-finally eating her baby food I made for her. She has been trying tastes for a while now, but is always spitting them out. She enjoys apples, bananas, pears and sweet potatoes. She doesn't love green beans or carrots.
-rolling all over the floor. If you set her down in one spot in minutes she will have rolled and scooted across the floor for something that looks great to chew on. Her favorites phones and remotes just like her sister.
-talking, talking, talking she just goes on and on in the funniest pitches. She is laughing, I mean belly laughing at her sister.
-taking baths with her big sis. She loves to sit in the water and just splash and kick. She is over the baby tub. Lily thinks it's great too!
-up to 16 pounds 2 weeks ago. We have her official 6 month check-up tomorrow so we will have her exact weight and height then
-chewing on anything she can get in her mouth and let me tell you she gets MAD when we have to take it away-she has quit the temper!
-sucking on her toes-tried to get a picture of it today-she just thinks those things are so tasty!
That's about it for this month! Happy 1/2 year birthday sweet Ella-you bring happiness and joy everywhere you go with that infectious smile.

A Very Special Day

=














Today on Valentines Day, we dedicated, baptized Ella Lynn. It was a very sweet ceremony. Ella smiled at the entire congregation. We had family over after at our house for some yummy food!
It was a great day. Ella, we can't wait to walk with you on your way to a relationship with Jesus!

It's a Jeep Thing

This Christmas Lily got a pink Barbie Jeep. We bought it from our friends the Sammelmanns. Erin their daughter used it for many years-and it was still in great condition. We couldn't wait to give it to her on Christmas Day. Here are some video's of her enjoying her new Jeep both inside and out. We can hardly wait for the warmer weather so we can ride it more outside. As you will see, she needs lots of practice. She doesn't quite have the whole steering thing down pat yet.
