Quick Update

It's been a while, so I thought I'd upload some pictures off my phone. Hopefully I'll get the pics off the 'real camera' soon.

In the past two weeks, Ellis began crawling and is really enjoying the ability to explore. As of yesterday, he can also pull to standing at the proper height toy/box/shelf...walking next week?? Seriously, this kid is crazy! And lucky for us, sleeping better.

Nora continues to say funny things, ask questions constantly and she's very proud she can get dressed herself. She comes up with some interesting outfits some days! She has now asked for swimming lessons, gymnastics classes and to play soccer-I guess we had better sign her up for something!
Nora's favorite activity is currently painting

Seriously, is this not the cutest puppy bulldog??
Proud of her new Packer shirt-thanks Nanny and Papa!
Such a happy boy

Six Months Old

Ellis has hit the six month mark, and has done so in fine fashion. He now weighs 18lb, 11.5oz (75%) and is 29 inches tall/long (97%). This is both heavier and taller than Nora was at a year! I guess I'd rather have a big boy and petite girl than the other way around...

Ellis can sit, get on all fours, get onto his feet (with hands still on the ground) then back to sitting. It is in this unique fashion that he moves around and we find him quite a distance from where we left him!

Here are some pictures, including some of Nora too.
About to launch...
So proud of her Flower Girl shirt and 'dancing shoes'
Ellis' first swimming adventure!
Is he too young for mac and cheese?
"Mom, can I have another toast with Nutella?"
