costumes

I’m sooo glad the girl’s Halloween costumes were a big hit! :) 
Since I love sales, I waited till the last minute to buy them. We bought Ella’s chicken costume at Old Navy for $2! yes, $2! What a bargain! But I just couldn’t find anything for Emmy.  So Friday night, I decided to make her [...]

halloween

I love Halloween because the following day (Nov.1) marks the countdown to the holidays! At least for me :)
This year’s Halloween should be fun! During the day we’re going to an event in Ft. Myers. Then at 5pm, we’ll be going to Summit’s trunk or treat. And after church, we’re going trick or treating. Summit’s Saturday [...]

Ella clapping video

Oh I’m so, so proud of my little Ella because she’s been developing so well. Here’s a video I took on Monday of her clapping and dancing. 
Hope she brings a smile to your face :)

smiles and sunglasses

Girls having fun! :)

steps

Ella’s been standing and cruising while holding on to the couch for a while now. Figured it was time to practice for her first little steps. So last week, I sat and stood her up facing me and encouraged her to take some steps toward me…while holding on to her of course. We had been [...]

precious

My beautiful girls! So precious! 

latest thing

So this is Ella’s latest thing!
Besides crawling all day, she makes little pit stops and balances on her tiny toes. My mom tells me all the time that Ella is just like how Melissa (my sis) used to be. My sis walked at 9 months. lol 
She’s a little crazy one! Wants to run after her [...]

Ella crawling

After posting that first video (attempting to crawl), Ella just took off. She’s been “officially” crawling for about two to three weeks now. Crazy cause she’s not even 6 months yet!  Good job Ella!!!
Anyway, here’s the video of her crawling away…And Emmy having some fun with Daddy. They do this almost everyday. lol
Enjoy!

hats and smiles

Last Sunday we went to grandma’s house (Michael’s mom) for lunch and the girls started trying on her hats. Here’s what happens when you put big hats on pretty faces. :)

resemblance

Last night, I was going through old pictures back from when Emery was just born and I couldn’t help but see the resemblance between Emery and Ella. 
They were just a day old in these pics. Look….

Ella attempting to crawl

Here’s a video of my little Ella trying to crawl. Video was taken last Tuesday, July, 7, 2009 (just one day before she turned 5 months) 
Enjoy!!!  :)

Ella’s Development (5 months)

I know most of you don’t get to see the girls much, so I’ll be posting their milestones every month. That way you know how they’re developing and what milestones they’ve hit. 
Here’s a chart I look at every month from Baby Center to see where Ella should be, and where she’s at now. 
(What’s in black [...]

4 month update

So my Ella is now 4 months old. (I forgot to write a 3 month update, so there’s much to write about.) Here’s an update on my little one.
- A week ago, she was weighing 13.8 lbs which puts her in 50% percentile. And was 24.5 inches, which puts her in the 75% percentile. Peds [...]

2 Month Update

Well, my little Ella is 2 months already! And she’s doing great! Here’s a quick update on her:
1. She’s a good eater. Right now she’s having about 4.5 to 5 ounces of milk every 3 hours. She occasionally spits up but for the most part, she burps well. I’m not sure how much weight she’s [...]

6 weeks post prego

Last Thursday, I had my 6 week postpartum and FINAL appointment at the birth center. :(
Everything went well. My body of course, will take about a year to heal from pregnancy but I’m a-ok and healed from where little Ella’s head came out. (tmi…lol) I’m really glad everything has healed well. Not only physically, but [...]

Sleepy head

I still can’t get over how blessed we are that Ella sleeps so well at night. That was my biggest prayer while pregnant. Emery started sleeping about 4-5 hours straight at 3 weeks old, but not like Ella. Ella literally wakes up to eat, and goes right back to sleep. No fussing, no crying, nothing. [...]
