Snow Days

 Ellie at her 6 month check up!

Here are her stats:

Height: 25 3/4 inches (50-75%)

Weight: 16 lbs. 8 oz. (50-75%)

Head Circumference: 17 1/8 inches (75-90%)!

My little peanut...isn't so little anymore.

Ellie is doing great and her check-up with Dr. Antone went well with only 1 poke on each chunky thigh. Ellie is eating 2 solid meals a day now. She eats rice cereal and bananas at her 9:30ish feeding and oatmeal and squash at her afternoon feeding...meaning she has dropped those 2 bottles of milk during her day! She loves to giggle, smile, blow raspberries, talk to us (aka: grunting), sit up, watch Luke play, and chew on anything in sight. Dr. Antone said that she is not teething yet though...Luke got his first tooth at 4 months! However, this is just fine with me. :)  

 Dad took Lukey to his Saturday morning project at Home Depot! Luke came home with a Valentine box to keep his Valentine cards in. :)

Luke started swim lessons this week! He was such a trooper and did great! He was in a class with his teacher Miss Sarah and 3 other friends. One of his friends, Sydney, her mom and I gave birth to our babies the same day at Beaumont and had a scheduled c-section an hour after mine! (small world) Luke's class was in the last row and Miss Sarah took turns with each kid practicing paddling, blowing bubbles, kicking out to a small platform, feeling comfortable standing in the water, practicing pulling themselves out of the water, and floating on their back. The only thing that Luke wasn't ready to try yet was going under the water...maybe next time. Luke was with his class as the 3 of us watched him in a seperate room that had a glass wall facing the pool. It was fun to watch him in a " class setting". We are all getting ready for Florida in just a few months!

Luke's "headband" was cracking us up!   

 Three weeks in a row of having snow days...don't mind if I do! Today, Luke made lunch for Ben and I. Below is the spread he made :)

 Just as cute and happy as can be...

Enjoy watching these clips of our snow day!
