more for elijah......

Just for Elijah!!!

This is for cousin elijah... he loves, just loves the videos.

talking elly märta

here is elly m. on the hot seat. she talks up a storm these days... from the time she wakes up until the time she goes to sleep. the other night the cat accidently got trapped in her room... i hear meow rather loudly a few times and then i hear "nigh, nigh TAT!" hilarious... except for it was two a.m..... not getting much sleep lately. bummer for me.

Five months old...

Ruthie is officially five months old now.. she has had ear infection for awhile. and now she has fifth disease... poor little thing, but she is still going going going. Even though she is sick...she still has an abundance of energy. i have to hurry, i can't think straight...she is crying right now. eekla.

Viewer Discretion advised....

Here it is.... Elly Märta's first poopy in the potty!!! i couldn't believe it... or maybe i couldn't believe how very excited i was. amazing how excited you can really truly be when it comes to things like this. sorry if we offend anyone... we did think it would be funny to post it though....

There she goes....

Well, we officially have two mover and shakers at our house now. i can no longer put ruthie on a bed and plan on her to be there when i return. she is officially moving. Not quite from room to room, but i give her a couple of weeks. so much fun to watch them grow...but way too fast...

we look nothing alike

It is so amazing to me that a child can come out of you and look nothing like you. i don't see myself in ruthie at all. i see myself in elly m. completely. i am sure she will acquire many of my mannerisms though.

Kangaroothie

Here is the precious little thing jumping... we like to call her "kangaroothie"

a refreshing day out

Being inside of a house with a sick child can make anybody enjoy outside weather, even if it is chilly. elly m. and i had to get out of the house on new year's day, so we took a little family walk by a lake and breathed in the fresh air. it was very nice...
