2 Strollers Please :)

Last week I got our B.O.B. stroller back my girlfriend so Tim could start running with Ella. Avery barely ever sits in a stroller, but of course, now that we have it back she wanted this one and her pink umbrella stroller out. And, she wanted us to take a walk with both girls in the strollers. She wanted the pink one and Ella got to ride in the BOB or "Cadillac" as I like to call it.

I can't really tell if she liked it or not. She was so quiet the whole time but she's pretty quiet in her car seat while strolling so hopefully she'll continue to enjoy looking out. And, it's so crazy she's able to sit up in a stroller with no support. She's getting so Big!


Came across this one of Avery going out in it for her 1st time...seriously, do you think they're sisters??


2 strollers...so crazy to me :)

Someone Likes Their Food & Drink!

Ella has started eating food and she has really taken to it! She has not met a food yet that she does not like. She has eaten, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, peas, apples, bananas, blueberries, pears, and cereal. She can not get enough of them - she loves food!! We hope it continues because it's so fun to feed a baby that "wants" to eat! And, she Loves her sippy cup or really any cup for that matter. She gets so excited when we put it on her tray. Ah, the simple pleasures in life!

Here are 2 videos I captured of her eating and drinking. I am loving my new phone...so easy to take videos and upload :)

My Sweet Ella

Last week, Tim took Avery out after work and I got to spend some "quality" time alone with my lovebug which doesn't happen very often. She is such a fun baby...so smiley and happy. I just had to pull the camera out to capture her. Enjoy!


and the clothes are off...

she kicks so fast all the time when she's on her back...they are so blurred!

Star of the Week

Last Friday, Avery came home with a sheet explaining that she would be the "Star of the Week" this week and that she had to come to school with a poster with pics of her family, she could bring a toy each day, and a snack for the class. She was soooo excited!!! She has been waiting for this all year.
Here's the finished poster I "helped" her put together on Saturday morning:

Here she is on Monday with her poster and her 1st toy...a princess sticker book she put together with Nana and Papa on Sunday night. Wednesday she took her Ariel barbie and Friday she brought her pink My Little Pony. Her snack she HAD to have for her class was Oreos. She had such a fun week!

I Think She's Ready for the Pros ;)

Avery got her 1st baseball glove with Tim this week...pink and purple Franklin with matching ball (she saw it at Kohl's and practically had a meltdown right then and there when I told her we couldn't get it. lucky girl that she has such a great daddy! ) When they got home they went out back to play catch. She's got some work ahead of her, but I think there's some potential ;)

Rocket Ship Park

Seriously one of the coolest parks I've ever been too...and I feel that I've been to a lot now :) Tim runs by this park but I've never been. It makes you feel like a kid again. We were all playing.

Happy Birthday Poppy!

We always have so much fun celebrating Poppy and Brian's birthdays because they are so close together. This year we all went to Covino's - yum, yum - to celebrate their birthdays together.

Avery signed both their cards this year for the 1st time...from both her and Ella - it's so great to see their beginning handwriting!

On Dad's birthday, Mom and he came over for a special birthday dinner. Here are him and Aves about to blow out his candles on his favorite homemade key lime pie. The pie looks like it's on fire and though some of you might be thinking because there were so many candles :) it was just that there was no flash from the candle. Sorry Poppy!
