Caught ya!

I was making dinner last night and Tim was entertaining the kids. I noticed it had got quiet...so I look in the family room and all three of my kids (Ellie, Cole, and Tim) were playing Legos. Ellie LOVES blocks, Legos, or anything to build with...and Tim, being a guy, loves Legos too...so they get along great! Poor Cole wanted to build so bad but he just cannot figure out how to use those sticks coming off of his shoulders ;) So, Cole is in the back telling them where to put each block!! Haha!

Ellie's new starfish

Tim was moving a 400 gallon fish tank from a house to a school...so he was "holding" a lot of their livestock in his tank here at home. Well...one of these new critters was a starfish. Ellie fell in LOVE with that starfish. So, of course she became attached and would get up every morning and go straight to the fish tank to look for "her" starfish. So, now came the time to put the stuff Tim was holding back into the tank. I knew Ellie was going to be upset but I thought she would just forget. Shocker...she did not forget! So, Tim had to go buy her a new starfish b/c she really has never been so passionate about something.

Tim brings home the starfish today and Ellie is going CRAZY over "her new staaafish" and watches so carefully as Tim dripped it in. While she was watching Tim I asked her what her new starfish's name was going to be. She looked up at me and said "Hap Birday to U!" which in non-two-year-old talk means "Happy Birthday to you." So, I let it go thinking she would come up with something better and maybe a little shorter. So, I asked her later and she said "Hap birday to U." I said ok, then Happy Birthday to You is his name! (As me and Tim are cracking up!) She stayed and watched that starfish. The starfish buried itself in the sand and Ellie stood there and said "Hap birday to U, Wherrreee rrrrr you?" Needless to say...Ellie might have something more than looks from her daddy! Tim and I are hopefully going to get the name shortened to just Happy...that would be ok!

Cole's 2 month appointment

Cole is now 2 months...I cannot believe it...it seems like yesterday I was begging him to come out! He had his 2 month doctor appt today...Dr. Washington was happy to see him! Oh course the nurse Wendy and Dr. Washington were said that Ellie did not come - but it is easier to go without Ellie...especially when I get out of the car to go to the doctor and the BOTTOM FALLS OUT! OH COURSE!

But, anyway...Cole looks GREAT! He was 13 lbs 13 oz and 24 inches long. He is in the 90th Percentile for height and weight and 60th for his head...not sure how he got a smaller head (Tim, Ellie and I all have big domes). He got 3 shots and was not happy about it. He was all smiles once we got home though...

If you talk to me you probably know that Cole HATES his carseat...so I asked the doctor about it and she said that some kids just do not like the carseat and they will grow out of it...so for now we have to have not so fun rides in the car! Hopefully he will grow out of it soon!

Ellie got a "boo boo" as she calls it...she was at preschool today and "bunt heads" (bumped heads) with another kid. She said Ms. Christina put ice on it and gave her a kiss and it felt better.

Luke is doing well also...I am still watching him 3 days a week. Here is a pic of Uncle Tim feeding Luker - Tim laughs at Luke all the time - he thinks Luker is hilarious!

Cole's first time in the bumbo

Cole had another first yesterday...he sat up in the bumbo by himself. His neck is really good at keeping that little head up! His head is so much smaller than I remember Ellie's being! He got tired quick in the bumbo...but I think he really like sitting up with his reflux and all. Cole is still loving his tummy time - he loves to lift his head up and look around...he looks like a turtle! His 2 month appointment is on Tuesday...so we will get a check on height, weight, and how he is doing!Ellie had Ryleigh over to play yesterday while April and Cary went out to dinner for April's birthday. Ryleigh was so good and she is able to really play with Ellie. They had such a good time! Excuse Ellie in her panties - it is easier for her to use the bathroom by herself when we are at home!
