Winter Fun

So we purchased a new mattress and for fun, Chris decided to build it up to be an indoor slide...this went on for a week until my mama came down and took it away (thank you mother)
Anyways Ella is tough as nails and of course would not let her brother do anything that she couldn't or Wouldn't do! The next little video was her dancing, she was REALLY tapping to the beat earlier, but of course once the camera came out so did the shyness!
Some stats on Ella:
Has cut her bottom 2 molars and working on her top.
Has only 4 teeth in the front on top and bottom.
Sleeping great! Bed 8pm-7:30-8am
Trying to transition to one nap....
AND she is weaned from me (yeah)
She is a very busy little girl...she never sits down!
Liam is still enjoying school, when he gets to go! We are still battling his infection..and his immune system or lack there of is taking a beating...we are considering taking him out of pre-school, but we shall see how he does over Christmas break.
I'll be updating again...its the HOLIDAYS!

Fall Frenzy!

YES, its been awhile...I'll write more about it later....we have been so busy with Liam and his "poop" problem...we will know by Wednesday if we are in the clear....so stay tuned.
In the meantime here are some pictures of Halloween, Miss Ella growing up...and other miscellaneous pictures.

Family Pictures

I think our pictures turned out GREAT! Thank you Cilla! Now to narrow them down!!

UPDATE!

Some of you know by now that Liam has had the "poops" for about a month now, after MANY stool cultures, and blood test (those were fun) he has been diagnosed with a bacterial infection in his GI tract...its a nasty little bug!! Its part of our "normal flora" but his has overgrew. I don't know how this came about, but anyways its here. He has started his antibiotic on Monday and Today I have seen improvement.....yeah! I never thought a cheer would come from my mouth when I saw something SOLID in the toilet...hope this isn't bothering some of you, but from what I've been through the last month...your not going to receive much sympathy! He seems to be more active as of last night..he actually ran around and he even got to go to school today! Which by the way he likes now. So hopefully we'll kick this, Doctor said we could experience a relapse but I am hoping and praying this will be the last of it!
ELLA STATS:
She had her 1 year shots yesterday ( more fun times for mommy)
She is 31.5 inches long and she still only weighs 20.14 lbs...
Doctor says since she is so ACTIVE she works it off....but she is still in the 97% for height.
But she is doing great, we went to an apple orchard on tuesday, so when I get some more time I'll post some pictures!

Ella turns ONE!

My Baby is a YEAR OLD....where did the time go?
Here are some things that she is doing at a year....
Walking! Babbling...mum,mum...da,da.....whether or not she is referring to mom or dad is still in question...when she wants something its DAT....DAT...or when she want to hand you something..this is a new game we have been playing. She can FOR SURE, hold her own with her big brother...which has been shocking, but Liam is very good to her! (sometimes :-) depending on which toy she grabs....and takes of running with!
Liam has been enjoying school now, we don't have any trouble in the mornings. He has been excited to go these last two weeks...I swear he has changed now that he's 3 1/2 years old....he has more understanding about things. And "some" patience are starting to kick in....

here are some pictures and video, ENJOY!

Oh, and a couple of notes to add....excuse my Father-in-law....he's the one with the hair! AND Ella HATES the camera flash, that is why she is constantly flinching with the camera!

Big Wheels and First Day of School!

Big Wheels!! Liam and Ella have been riding their wheels just about every night for the past two months!! Liam has really took off on his big wheel...so much that he's decided to chuck the stroller idea. And of course if Liam is on his wheels...Ella is screaming for hers! Yes, Screaming has been the new thing for Ella to tell me her needs!
Also Liam had his first day of preschool....he was excited the first day, but not so much the second. Lets just say the teacher had to pry him from my arms on the second, but he was all smiles when I picked him up...he is just having some issues with me leaving him right now. Which if any of you know Liam, he does love his MAMA!
We went to a wedding on August 31st....OUTSIDE! Which was hot of course...it was in a hayfield??! So yes we survived but did I mention how HOT it was?
Well enjoy the pictures....until next time!

Ella's New thing....

Well we have now reached 10months and Ella has decided that she is going to stand all the time...this is pretty much "her thing" all day long! Besides tormenting her brother...we have the beginning's of this latest task on video...I'm sure in a few weeks this skill will be mastered. I just cannot believe she is already standing on her own!
We also took the kids to Newport Aquarium...Liam loved it. Ella enjoyed it most of the time..here are some pictures of that day as well.

More Pictures.....

Just some more pictures of Summer...
Liam LOVED the SWAT robot or maybe the girls standing next to him...whichever it was.....he didn't want to leave it. And Ella, well she could care less!
Grandpa Ron taking the kiddo's a spin on their pond....lets just say he got a workout with that paddle boat!

Ella is 9 Months old!

My baby is 9 months, cannot believe it! She is such a big girl!! Weighing in at 20.9 lbs and 30 inches long...she has big feet too!!
She has had a rough month, been on two rounds of antibiotics...due to bronchitis and now she has an ear infection this week...Just call me job security for doctors! Can't wait till winter when flu season starts if I'm already making the weekly trip in the SUMMER!
We haven't been doing much here lately...due to illness. Just your normal park days and picnics outside. I put two videos of the kids. One with my future singer...and then the other one is Liam driving his Gator at his Grandpa and Grandma Spurlock's house. Ella loves to ride...she sees it and flips out! not literally though, she hangs on tight with her brother driving.

HAPPY JULY 4TH!!

Well it was a rainy 4th- BUT the rain held off just enough for a PARADE. Other than that we did nothing! It was uneventful day, didn't even watch one FIREWORK show.
The last picture is an updated family picture taken at Kings Island. Oh and Ella is now crawling she has been for a few weeks- I just have been lazy and forgot to post this information...and what a new world this has been for LIAM with sharing!!

New VIDEO CAMERA!!

I just bought a new video camera which I LOVE, so enjoy!

Summer!

Well it's only June and already we've been busy! We went to the zoo...Liam thought it was Heaven with all the reptiles...and yes he found a zoo keeper that had a real snake, and of course he couldn't keep his little hands off of it! He is a slow learner with bugs...today he picked up a millipede and it stung him!! Which I told him it was going too.
Also we went to King's Island with Jayden and Ryleigh...I didn't take but one picture...my two lightweights passed out in the stroller...my kids LOVE their naps! Which I wouldn't have it any other way...
The rest of the pictures are just some funny moments thus far this summer...Ella had some crazy hair one morning, couldn't resist a snap shot. And Liam came out one morning wearing his Daddy's boots...I didn't expect it, but when I saw him I just about tripped over him trying to run and grab the camera! Ella is Still not crawling...all she wants to do is stand...she can stand up from sitting....who knows if she will even crawl??? In case your wondering, Liam has a caterpillar on his finger.
