Fun at Home

I have not gotten out of pajamas all day. I like those kind of days. No make-up, hair in a ponytail, however, I have brushed my teeth! The girls and I had an easy morning that started off by Hayden showing Ella how to use the Bumbo tray and all the fun you can have with toys sitting on it. Ella was very intrigued as you can see. Then Will got up and let Hayden open her birthday presents that came from my Aunt Carole, early. She was so excited to get two new books and the best present of all....

A SPRINKLER BALL!!

While Hayden played with the sprinkler ball, Ella kept cover under the patio. It was a little chilly today in the shade, and even in the sun when you're wet, but that didn't stop Hayden!

All that fun outside wiped both girls out. Yes, Hayden will be 2 next month, and, yes, that's her drinking her milk from a bottle. Yes, we're still fighting that battle. She's still refusing to drink milk out of anything else. When she/we were sick last week, she went 3 days without any milk, so I thought we would be in the clear and only offer it in cups, sippys, bowls, whatever else other than bottles. That didn't fly with Little Miss Stubborn.

Man, I love these girls.

I love that Hayden has to hold on to Ella whenever she's next to her.

I hope they always love each other as much as they do now.

What We Wore Wednesday

I'm going to start doing this "What We Wore Wednesday" series. Just for fun, you know I love clothes! We had our little outing to Target to get some cat food and diapers. Fun, right?! You know it! We started at Sauce for some of the yummiest pizza around!

Yah Buddy!

Check this new look out!! I did it all by myself too!! I'm quite proud of it! I did it all on Picnik! It took a little while but I love it!

Still the baby

Someone still likes to be the baby. Though she's not jealous... at all. :o)

New Name, Same People.

I've decided to change the name of my blog. It's fitting, right? I've been reading tons and tons of awesome blogs and want to zest mine up, but I'm not sure how unless I pay someone to customize mine. Some of my favorite blogs are Sometimes Sweet, Harper's Happenings, I Believe in Unicorns, and Kelly's Korner. I want to have an awesome blog and get paid for blogging like them. I need to commit to finding time to blog! Any suggestions?

Growing up

It's been a while because my computer hasn't let me upload pictures because it's old and full apparently.  I had it cleaned up a bit, but it's not letting me upload anymore pictures.  I'll see what I can do.

Anyway... My girls are growing up.  Hayden is a mere month away from 2! Ella is 3 months already! Hayden has been such an amazing big sister to Ella.  She's so loving to her, most of the time! :o)

A little recap on the girls:

Hayden is now 22 months old.  She's probably about 26lbs.  She's finally eating!! She actually ate a peanut butter sandwich for dinner! (I know, great dinner.) She's in speech therapy once a week and is "talking" a little more now. She said "na na" for "knock knock" today! She's also starting to say "Amen" after we pray.  It's so cute! She looks so cute when she prays.  She closes her eyes and bows her head.  I love to see that she is starting to know Jesus.  She's still not potty trained, not that she "should" be right now, but she is starting to acknowledge when she goes.  She still doesn't want to sit on the potty yet.  I'll ask her and she says "nope!"  She's funny.

Ella is doing really well and I believe she's finally up to 10lbs! I don't know for sure, but she feels like it and definitely looks like she's filling out.  She's so beautiful.  I'm trying to get her to nurse more.  Somedays she wants more bottle than she wants me.  It sucks.  Today was a good day and she only took one bottle, and the rest was from me.  I'm emotionally not ready to give up breast feeding her.  I know it's the best milk for her, and I don't feel like it's fair that I nursed Hayden for a year.  A year is what I want for Ella too, at least.  I think she just needed the boost of calories from the formula.

I can't believe she's 3 months!

Is this not the saddest look you've ever seen? :o( Hayden was messing with her.

Happy girl!

We took the girls to the fair!! We had so much fun and I got my foot long corndog! Yum! A nice, once a year treat! Hayden and Will rode the elephant together! (Pics of the fair to come, they are on the other camera!) Hayden had the BIGGEST smile on her face the whole ride! She also rode the big slide with her Daddy, and did NOT have the biggest smile! Ha! She had a terrified look until they got to the bottom! Then, she wanted to go again! So funny!
