Four Months Old

Ashley is already four months old! At her four month check up today the doctor started talking to me about feeding her solid foods and it made me a little sad...solids are just another sign that my little baby is growing up. She is still my little peanut though weighing only 13lbs! The doctor was impressed with her strength and Ashley was nothing but smiles, well at least until she got her shots :( She is such a sweet baby and although at times she is a little fussy usually all she is wanting is someone to talk to her and then you are rewarded with the biggest grin ever! 

Bath Time

The girls taking their first bath together! Ella thinks it is the greatest thing ever to take a bath with Ashley, which is a huge relief because bath time has been a battle lately! As I was trying to take a picture I said, "Ella and Ashley smile!" Then Ella said, "Come on Ashley do a Boppy face!"

Summer Daze

This summer seems to be flying by and looking back at pictures I guess we have been pretty busy. We have been going to the spray park, the pool, out on the lake and the sound and spent a very fun day in Hood Canal! I can't count the times this summer that Ella has actually asked to go to bed, one night she was even trying to climb into her crib by herself she was so tired, maybe that is a sign that we need to slow down a little bit :) Either way we are having a lot of fun! 

Family Time

I took the girls up to Seattle and we made the rounds visiting family. We went to Boppy's office so the girls could see where he works for the next two weeks now that he has finally decided to retire after working at the same company for over 25 years. We are so excited to have Boppy around more to spend time with his granddaughters that just adore him! After visiting Boppy we headed to Uncle Eddie and Auntie Chrissy's house for a nice dinner with Great Grammy! It was a very long day but a lot of fun :) 

Belly Laughs

Ashley thinks that mommy doing laundry is hysterical! I love these belly laughs:)

Ella Two Years and Ashley Three Months

Ella's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Ella's second birthday this weekend. We had a much smaller group than last year which made things a little less hectic. For Ella's birthday present we got her a bounce house which up until the 4th of July she was completely scared of. The first time I blew it up for her she said, "No Mommy, it's a monster!" After the 4th of July she seems to have gotten over her fears and now absolutely loves her bounce house! I am sure this will be getting a lot of use this summer. It was a great party, we had perfect weather luckily it cooled off since the two days before were up to 90 degree days. The kids jumped in the bounce house, played in the play room, ate cupcakes and just had a ball! I still can't get over the fact that our little girl is TWO!!!! Ella still manages to amaze us everyday and we are so in love with this little girl who has turned our world upside down! Happy 2nd Birthday Princess Ella!
