Silly-ness

We've had a lot of fun over the past few weeks. Lots of fun things going on as we get ready for spring. I thought I'd just post a bunch of silly pictures of the kids causing mischief, playing around, having fun and just being themselves. They make us laugh daily! Love these kids.

3 Nights & Counting!

We are so proud of Ella! She's worn big girl underpants to bed for the past 3 nights and hasn't had any accidents all night long! She's been potty trained for a long time now, but she's still been wearing a pull up to bed at night. We wake her up to go potty when we go to bed around 11 and she's been dry in the morning even with pull-ups. Of course sometimes she'll have an occasional accident in the past 2 months, but so far so good. She is getting so big and I'm just so proud of how she's matured and really grown in the last couple of months. She's obsessed with brightly colored dresses (not jumpers with a shirt underneath) just bright and colorful (preferably with flowers and the more ruffles the better) to make her beautiful. I think we're in trouble as she grows. Anyway, for now, we'll celebrate her success and lover her so much!

Henry on a side note has had some eye infection thing going on. It doesn't seem to stop him or affect his mood - he's still just playing up a storm and going, going, going constantly. His eyes were a little yucky but we got some eyedrops from the doctor and he's on the mend. Love that cute little guy, even with puffy, red eyes, he's the cutest little guy I know. He's talking more and more by the way, saying quite a few words: ball, bye-bye, boat, apple, nana (for banana,) duck, MOOO (his all time fav), BAAAA, he can hoot like and owl and stick his tongue in and out like a lizard. He attemps to say Ella but it kind of comes out like "EH-AH" but he's not far. He'll be out chattering his sister in no time (if that's possible!)
