Oh, so silly... so so silly!!!

Here is jonathan being jonathan again. He is quite the entertainer! so much fun though. Elly M. might have a future here. Doesn't she look good in anything, including her daddy's tie????

We are on our last month here, Jonathan's birthday is coming up in a week, he will be 27 on March 2nd and i get my ultrasound of the new baby on March 5th. We might actually have a kind of exciting week this coming week. We will post pictures of our exciting lives now that the computer works. Yeah!!!!!

Our Computer Works....YEAH!!!

With a lot of help from jonathan and my mom sending a super package full of goodies, including the cd that i left in iowa to reload programs onto the computer, we officially have it working. Here are a few of elly m. in her new hat. I think that every child should have pictures from childhood with many things on their head.

our amish baby

you are probably starting to think that we got our computer fixed, nope, not yet came to rocky's house to do all this. isn't our little amish baby so cute???

our makeshift horse and v-day card from great grandparents in iowa

Well when you don't have a horse, a blue giraffe will do. Giddy-up, ride'em giraffe girl. The other pictures are for great grandma and great grandpa curry with her only valentine's day card this year. what kind of parents are we not giving our kid valentines day presents????

sitting up a little bit

Here she is sitting up all by herself.... i mean most babies i guess sit up before they start crawling, but she does things the way she wants. she doesn't really enjoy sitting up all that much... she often throws up. precious little belly. speaking of bellies, mine is officially getting bigger, meaning my jeans will not fit anymore. this baby isn't craving cheeseburgers, this one wants potatoes... any kind of potatoes, morning, noon, or night. hmmm.. wonder what they are going to be like???

a few cuties!!!

here is little elly m. in a stained with strawberry t-shirt. i couldn't resist giving her strawberries since i was eating the entire carton by myself. She sure is a cutie.

a video of the pull up

i have tried to post this video like 5 times to no avail. but i hope this time it works. i am getting slightly frustrated with it. eek. anyways. i don't think that she is going to walk the day turns 7 months like elijah, i don't think she has the same guts as him. she doesn't like to fall. but she is getting closer and closer..... are lives are a changin'.

taking after cousin elijah!!!!

Well here is the little lady pulling herself up despite our efforts and threats to karate chop her legs... taking after cousin elijah... has to follow in somebody's footsteps!!

pictures from awhile ago....but cute ones

well we did this quite awhile ago, but i thought that she looked exceptionally cute with her hair up like that... and the cookies.. i guess you could say it was my idea.

stealing photos

I am trying to steal photos off of my sister-in-law Heidi's facebook. i hope it works. and it worked. i guess that i can just steal from her for this time. isn't elly m. getting so big. and jonathan.. isn't he precious. he tries so hard to fit into his brother and sister's band.

Here goes it...

I know that it must be very disappointing to check a blog that is usually updated AT Least once a week to find that it has been almost three weeks and no update. Shoot me!! Well we figured out that it is not our camera, but it is our computer. Which seems to me like a much more complicated issue, we aren't sure what the source of the problem is, but have spent hours trying to fix it. so anyways. all you get right now is words, which i feel is kind of boring when there is a baby across an ocean growing like a weed in a really rainy season. we miss all of you of course and our arrival there is not so far away, so i am doing a countdown, it is 60 days away. that is 8 weeks and 4 days for those of you who want it in that kind of time. Jonathan has bittersweet feelings about the move, i have feelings of great relief and Elly M. doesn't even have a clue how she feels about the biggest change that has ever happened in her whole 6 month life.

Elly m. is growing soooooooooo fast. it is crazy. We went to the ped. for a general check-up. they were a little surprised about her crawling and her 2 front teeth, i tried to explain to them that it runs in the curry family, but through language disabilities, i am not so sure they understood, because you see not only was there a language barrier for me, but the doctor came from poland and even jonathan was having a difficult time understanding. here are her measurements though: for those of you who use the metric system: 8,600 some grams, 71 cm. long, for those of you who use the American system. that is a whopping 18 lbs. 6 oz. and about 27 or so inches. Elly M. decided last week that she would pull her self up on jonathan's accordian and then scream bloody murder because she couldn't get herself down, and last night while in the bathtub she repeated "dada" to me. i am a little jealous that i spend every waking moment with the child and she says "dada", but i mean who sits around talking about me all day with her anyways. so "dada". i hope next will be mama. but we will see. she did nondiscriminately say "papa", which my dad would be proud to hear. She thinks of him after all meeting for such a short time.

Anyways..... i can't think of anything else so important that the world needs to know about it. except maybe my due date for the next baby is August 8th. It is hard for me to even comprehend another little one and loving it since we love elly m. so much, but everybody says that your love just expands. i have a feeling it is true.

We love all of you... jonathan loves comments on the posts, he checks all the time for them... he would be really glad to get on here and find some!!!!
