Happy 3 Month Birthday Ellie!

Our sweet little Ellie is now three months and more delightful everyday. For her three month birthday gift to Griff and I she started consistently sleeping through the night. Thank you Ellie! She has yet to roll over without any assistance but she is enjoying tummy time a little more. She has the cutest smile ever and makes cooing sounds like crazy, especially after she has had her bottle. She loves taking baths and being held by anyone. She doesn't like when people leave her eyesight and keeps a close watch on whoever is around. She loves Riley and he is actually starting to help with her a little. He likes to put her pacifier in her mouth when she is crying and the other day he actually tried to pick her up, but obviously couldn't because she is about half his size.
Riley is now 21 months and enjoying everything except most foods. He's a pretty picky eater still. Most days he likes cheese, bread, anything sweet, brocolli, sweet potatoes, blueberries and strawberries but even that seems to change. He is saying lots and lots of words and can make it through the alphabet with help from Daddy. He also likes taking baths and playing with his new golf clubs. He is obsessed with the movie, "Up" and would watch it on repeat if allowed. He loves when Daddy plays the "dede" aka guitar and loves to go to church and see the boom-booms (drums) and the dede. He is an all around delightful little boy.

August 2010

Ellie is quite the little doll. We love her and love her smile. She is cooing like crazy, smiling anytime someone gives her attention and is starting to get better at tummy time. She isn't quite sleeping through the nights but she is getting closer. At almost three months she is eating about 5 ounces every three hours. Last night for the first time every Ellie was crying and Riley tried to pick her up and comfort her. It was so cute. She's almost half the weight of Riley so I wasn't too worried about him actually picking her up. It was just a sweet brother wanting to help a sad sissy.

Parks, Pirates, and more Pink

Here are some pictures from our recent little trip to Daniel's Den, a wonderful park nearby. And the last two pictures are of Riley sporting one of his Daddy's childhood t-shirts.
