November 2014, part 2

Calcy has taken over Barrett's spot in the bed! She has never slept on our bed, but since Barrett is sleeping in the other room, she has decided she gets his spot! It will be a rude awakening when he claims it back!!!
LJ loves getting right up to Ellie's face and talking to her! And Ellie loves her brothers!
She looks so little in Barrett's arms!
Story time with dad...
I was just admiring their beautiful eye lashes!!! Wow!
Ellie and her bestie (although she doesn't know it!), Charley!

Ok Ellie, you can't nurse on your friend's arms!
Check out their synchronized moves!!
I got new bows for her hair... love them!!

Ellie's first bottle- made with breast milk- at almost 4 weeks old. She did great! And continued nursing very well after too. I let Karinna feed since I will be leaving Ellie with her for the first time this week when we go to the boys' Thanksgiving 'sharing lunches' and LJ's performance at their school!
LJ getting kisses from his dad! 

A morning visit from our friends Londa and Lauren- Lauren is also about to have a baby girl in January so she was getting her practice in!
Our little 4 week old hanging with her dad!
Some of LJ's Thanksgiving art... this picture cracks me up!!!
The boys are still obsessed with their sister!

Ellie's sleepy smile (I think we are close to the real thing)!! And you have to love her crazy hair!
Bath time! Ellie LOVES her bath! If she is getting a little cranky, the bath always calms her down. She is so content in the water!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
