Sick Little Lily

About 2 weeks ago our sweet little Lily got even smaller. She came down with a terrible first case of the flu. She was sick for about a week and it really took about all of the next week to start to really feel like herself. If you can't tell from the pictures she did lose some weight and her face definitely got thinner. I am happy to report that she has been eating non-stop now that she is feeling better and the cheeks are slowly returning as well as a huge distended belly. Not slow on the return was her energy and non-stop talking. Over the past few weeks her vocabulary has expanded like crazy and she has no problem verbalizing what she wants to tell us.

Her favorite phases at the moment:
I stuck ( in regards to being on the wrong side of the gate)
I funny ( in regards to the fact that she thinks she is funny)
More baba please dada
More cheese please mama
Have good day dada
Later dude
See ya dude
Thank you much
Nice meet you

2 Months Old

Ella Kathryn is now 2 months old and still so sweet. She is super laid back and loves to smile and coo. At her 2 month check up she weighed in at 11 lbs 12 oz. Only 6 more ounces than Lily was at her 2 month check appointment. Dr. Boe was impressed with her over all strength and gave her a clean bill of health.

Last week we went over to Tara's house for a play date and she took a ton of darling pictures of Ella for me. The first three are a few of the ones she took, but I am saving the best ones for later.

The other three are ones I took when Lily was taking a nap. I love our special time together when Lily naps. We sing songs and coo at each other. At night after Lily goes to bed, Jeff and I get more special one on one time with Ella until about 11:00 p.m. when she goes down for the night herself. Jeff and I would probably prefer to go to bed just a little earlier, but her cute smile and sweet little noises are well worth the late night.

Thanks for the great pictures Tara! I can't wait to reveal the rest!

Leaves and Lily

Here are some pics of Lily playing in the leaves on one of last nice days. She loved throwing them up in the air. She also really loved watching the birds fly over her head.
