Happy 2nd Birthday Katelyn!

Here is she is!
Look how much she has grown and changed.
We were so blessed this day!

Katelyn's first birthday

Katelyn's polka dotted breakfast on her 2nd birthday.

The table of goodies

Katelyn's friends at the party!

Happy Birthday Katelyn!!
We threw Katelyn a polka dotted party. The walls were covered with polka dots. We played with circle stickers, polka dots of play dough and musical polka dots. We ate lots of polka dotted treats and a giant cupcake.
Here are a few facts about our sweet 2 year old:
She LOVES dolls and shoes.
She is very tiny (21 pounds)
She is definitely a daddy's girl
She is slowly talking more and more
She doesn't really like food (unless it is sweet)
Breakfast is her favorite meal. She does love oatmeal and eggs.
She makes lots of funny faces, loves to climb, is spunky and yet sensitive.
We love you Katelyn!!

Five Months

Big smiles

This is her favorite way to sleep!

Eleanor is now five months old!
She is full of smiles and happy screams.
She still loves her thumb. She is grabbing toys and her toes.
She has rolled from her back to her tummy. She laughs and "talks."
Jonathan said to her "I don't want Benjamin, I don't want Carson (both our boy names for Ellie) I just want Ellie!" She is loved! I love to kiss her chubby little cheeks!

Feeling Better + Beautiful Weather

Our family finally is feeling better. We had beautiful weather for the weekend so we celebrated being healthy again and went to the zoo. The kids love the zoo (and it was even more fun to have daddy with us)!

Katelyn Plays Peek a Boo Too

Katelyn has just started talking more and more, so I wanted to capture her saying
"Peek-a-Boo!"

Making Ellie laugh

Jonathan is the only person in our house who can get Ellie to laugh.
It is pretty sweet. I tried to capture it on video.

Snow Fun

We've gotten a little snow here in Louisville so we snuck outside for a little fresh air between fevers. Katelyn and Jonathan had a great time shoveling the snow. We tried to build a snowman but Jonathan thought it was more fun to knock him over.

Sick...

Ellie is fighting a cough, so that only leaves me.
We'll see if I can avoid it all.

Jonathan is doing a little better, but now Katelyn has a fever and we found out Chaun has bronchitis.

Jonathan has been fighting a high fever and cough (although you can't tell in the picture above). He fell asleep on the couch one afternoon and put himself to bed last night. Both are very unusual.

We've needed a lot of this lately.
