This week....

Easton has taken a liking to his thumb, he isn't a huge fan of the binky so maybe he will be a thumb sucker!


One of my favorite times of the day is going to check on them before we go to bed. Ella always has a leg or arm sticking out of the crib! They are always so sweet when they are asleep!
She drools so much in her sleep, there is always a huge spot like the one in this picture, it could be worse though due to all the teeth I think she is trying to get!

She actually sat and watched a Disney movie with me for a good 45 minutes!




While I was feeding Easton the other day she went and found a tissue box and emptied it (luckily it only had about 8 tissues left in it!) I found it later and she had stashed a whole bunch of toys and other random objects into it. Anything that has an opening she will put something into!
I took both of them to the doctor a week ago for their two month and fifteen month check ups! Ella is still small as ever and Easton will soon be as big as her, I am guessing by 6 or 7 months!
Ella - 19 lbs 13 oz
29 3/4 in
Easton - 12 lbs even (Ella was 12 lbs at 5 months!)
23 1/2 in - I think he is longer they never do a very good job at measuring!

Weekend

Ella wore her new dress to church since it was so warm this weekend! It was in the 70's! She is turning into a little girl to fast!








As we were trying to leave for church she ran into the box to get away!


Easton trying to sleep is never ok in her mind!







His shirt explains it all! He is so different from Ella!


He is so happy most of the time and loves to sit and smile at anyone that will let him!
He is starting to giggle and coo a lot more!

Cardboard Box

We saved the box from our stroller for Ella to play in and with for a while. She LOVES it. It is the first thing she heads to every morning and after her naps.
Andrew made some little windows for her in the middle!




She goes back and forth and back and forth all day long. It is interesting to find all her treaures in there at the end of the day!










Auto Show

Last Saturday we let Andrew take a study break (more like I made him) and we went to the Memphis Auto show! It is fun to dream! Ella was beyond thrilled as you can tell to be there!
Easton just hung out and was happy as a clam!






Andrew dreaming....



......When he knows this is his reality for his next car!








Crazy robot thing roaming around!




Andrew took a picture of the Bentley for my little brother Spencer

15 months

I was taking these pictures of Ella today and then realized she is 15 months old today! She gets smarter by the day and is such a joy to have in our home!
She loves to cross her legs and can often be found this way! I had given her some raisins to eat and she sat down and crossed her legs to eat them!


She is such a sweetheart!























Getting her to eat lately has been a challenge, I think that is what made last week difficult she wouldn't eat! This week has been so much better, not sure why but she has been more willing to eat and not get upset!
She was so excited when I said "yeah you ate all your lunch!"








She was such a mess but she ate all of her sandwich which is all that matters!

Valentines Day!!!

I have been thinking for a while it would be fun to "heart attack" Andrew's truck for Valentines Day. I thought it would be hard since he usually carpools but Mondays he doesn't since he has school screenings around Memphis so I was excited Valentines Day was on a Monday! I told my friend Brittany about my idea and she decided to do her husbands car as well! We spent the morning making our hearts and attempting naps (didn't happen but she did sit in her crib for an hour and a half!). Then we headed up to the school. It was such a nice day and since the zoo is super close to his school we decided to go to the zoo as well after. I was really warm in my sweater! It was 70 degrees and I was dressed for 40 degrees.








The zoo was super slow. We decided to see stuff we didn't see a couple weeks ago. Jefferson was very cooperative and looked and smiled for me, Ella didn't!


The bears were playing right along the glass with each other. Ella thought it was cool at first but then freaked out!











Ella and Jefferson - we watched them feed the elephants






This is another reason we had to go to the zoo, to break our stroller in! It is nice to have it and we have gone on walks everyday this week!
