So, nothing exciting is happening over here, just the normal chaos of having two kids a year apart and one of them being Ellie. We have had a breakthrough with Ellie though that I think is very exciting. Ellie will SIT DOWN and WATCH the Baby Einstein movies for 10-15 minutes at a time!! It's a miracle that something will get her attention enough to where she'll sit still and watch. She is also going through a stage where she doesn't want to eat anything but cheese and bananas. Weird, but the doctor says that it's normal, so we aren't worried. She also now knows a little over 15 words in sign language and she can verbally say about a handful and she is only 15 months!! She also understands most of what we say to her or ask her to do. What a smarty pants!! She knows it too!! She also climbs on the furniture and can reach just about anything on our kitchen table and some things on our counters. She is our little curious George and is always keeping us on our toes.
Hayden seems to be more laid back and our little cuddle bug. He loves being held, which isn't very convenient when you have to chase Ellie around, but I love it. He had a WIC appointment today and he now weighs 18 lbs 3oz and is 25 inches long and he is THREE months!! He sure eats a lot more than the average three month old, but is using all of it so they aren't worried. He loves to smile and coo at you, which I love. He has been sleeping though the night now for about a month and will soon be in his crib in his room and out of ours!! Woohoo! He has started noticing his hands and sucks on them often. Hayden has been rolling over since this morning!
Here are some random pictures of them. Ellie with pigtails and wearing my fuzzy socks. (she loves playing dress up already!) And Hayden just sitting on the couch watching Ellie run around.

Oh my gosh, they really keep you busy! What little cuties! I'm so glad I found your blog so now we can keep in touch a little more! I love reading about the cute stuff they do! You are a great mom. So we'll probably see you on Saturday at the wedding! Yay! :-)
How cute! what a little chunk. I LOVE IT!!!! I hope Elijah keeps getting chunky. I would love some rolls on one of my kids. lol Good to hear everything is going well
sometimes reading your blog is like deja vu! Except your Ellie is my Connor and your Hayden is my Aubrey. Just remember that the older ones are SO independent for a reason, it's hard to chase after them and keep up with what they are doing all the time but it would be even harder (in my opinion) if you had a baby and a clingy 1 y/o. Anyway, you are doing such an awesome job I might just start calling YOU for advice. Hang in there and keep up the great work!
yay i'm so glad the baby einstein worked for you...isn't it great?!
