GOOD MORNING SMILES!!


It's electric!

Boogie woogie woogie!


All hands on deck!

Now that my mom has a new job and isn't home to help with bedtime routine (oh how I've been spoiled!), I am on my own with these two monkeys a lot.  Sometimes though, everybody is home and it is all hands on deck ...

Happy Birthday to ME

Matching jammies?  OK!

3 months


This baby is so easy (I know, I've probably jinxed it now).  She eats, sleeps and smiles.  She is rocking some serious thigh rolls.  Comparison to Elliott at 3 months here.

More snow fun!

Snow angels are hard to do in 3 feet of snow.







Silly Dee Dee ...

Family sledding!

Happiest Baby on the Block

I HAVE to figure out how to do iMovie -- we have a GREAT video of Natalie laughing in the bath tonight.  She's the happiest baby ever.

Blizzard of 2013

We got 31 inches of snow but we had power, a snowblower, margaritas, and hot chocolate.  That, my friends, is a recipe for the best weekend ever.












Sledding down the driveway!  Genius!  Until they crashed into the fence ... 


Life is good

Sometimes they look JUST alike and sometimes ... not so much.

Guess who was in charge of choosing her own clothes?

Guard dog

HA!  She clicked herself into the Bumbo and couldn't get out!  I love that my 3.5 year old can fit into this seat but my 3 month old's legs are almost too fat to fit!


Ant Lindsay sent a new sweatshirt this week and she has worn it EVERY DAY.  She loves it.

Fun at open gym with her buddy Ava

Snack time in the tent!

See?  Life is good.

Wii

She hasn't quite figured out how to play anything yet, but we set up the Wii.  It's pretty funny to watch her try to play.



Little Swimmer

Elliott has always loved water.  This summer and last, she threw herself into Walden Pond without hesitation, she has no problem pouring water all over her head in the bath -- so when she was clingy and panicky in swimming lessons, we were perplexed.  We tried a Saturday class with Jas and a Thursday class with me -- no luck.  She HATED the pool and would cry the whole time.  So we took some time off.  A few weeks ago, we tried the pool again.  It took three weeks of open swim with Jas but now she SWIMS.  She slowly got more comfortable in the water (with the bubble) and now she'll jump into the water and swim with her head underwater.  She loves it.  There is more than 2 feet of snow on the ground right now but both of them are hoping with YMCA is open tomorrow so they can go swimming!

Ballet!

Elliott's ballet class is so freaking cute.  They all just LOVE it and stomp around like tiny elephants in matching pink uniforms.  This week was "peek week" where the parents were invited to watch the class.  SO. FREAKING. CUTE.

Waiting to make their big entrance on tippy toes.

They all LISTEN.  It's amazing.  I can't get her to listen to me to save my life.











Everyone gets a stamp!
