Hey everyone! It's been a while- we have had a busy month! The kids continue to amaze us with all their new skills and all their energy! I wish I had some :)) Caleb is talking so much more now- most of it we understand, but sometimes we have to nod and act like we do...haha. He loves to tell us about everything he does at preschool- he knows ALL of his classmates' names (yes, all 30 in both classes!), and got lots of cute valentines from his friends- he still talks about his "cupcake party" and thinks we should have one everyday! ( I totally agree, but decided its probably not the responsible parent thing to do :)) He is repeating everything now (scary!) and getting alot more creative. The other day he was eating a PB&J and he was biting the sandwich and making shapes. He took one bite and announced "C!" then another bite and "M!" then another bite and "choo-choo!" and started driving his sandwich train on the table. I love that his little imagination is at work! He made an alligator out of his pizza crust tonight, too. And the other night he decided that he wanted Elmo to finish his dinner- he put Elmo in his highchair and started shoving pineapple in his mouth and saying "eat it! eat it!"
Caleb got a haircut:
Cheese!!

Ellie is reaching and exploring EVERYTHING she can get her hands on and is sitting up pretty well now. She is the SWEETEST baby ever!! So content and she just adores her big brother and thinks he is hilarious- it is so cute to hear her just laugh out loud at him :) I have to admit, he IS a lot more interesting than us! It's great- something will strike her as funny and she will just laugh and laugh- sometimes it is just a look and she will burst out in giggles :))

Chillin in the bouncer:
She loves to bounce:
It's all good and fun until somebody's arm gets stuck. Then the world is over:

Getting bundled to go outside (brother's request) Love the coat from Whitney and Shelby!:
Her little personality is shining through:
So curious to see what is going on outside:

I took Caleb to the ENT yesterday and we decided it's best for him to get ear tubes put in and his adnoids removed. He has had some issues this year with ear infections and fluid behind his eardrum that just won't drain. And they did a hearing test and he didn't pass :(( So I am sure that this will allow him to hear so much better and feel better, too. He has surgery on March 4th.

Potty training is still in the "all talk- no action" stage.....we are inching closer but it feels like it will never happen! He loves to watch his videos about potty training, though. Speaking of videos, his fave now is Snow White, which he calls "Snow Wipe" haha! He loves to march around the house singing the "hi-ho!" song. It's pretty cute :)

Love this one:
And this one....
Lots of love!
