Happy 2nd Birthday Charlie!

Today is Charlie's 2nd Birthday and we have been celebrating his birthday over the course of 10 days with 2 parties, a dinner out, and 4 different birthday deserts - he is one lucky little boy! During Charlie's epic long birthday celebration, we learned he loves anything sweet and balloons are by far, the best gift.

Cheers to being 2 buddy! We love you lots-

Winter 2013

I can't believe it is the first day of spring (of course it still feels like winter!) Although we had a great winter, we are super excited for the warm weather to arrive. I am done pushing a double stroller through snow, slush, wind, etc. And I am so over putting on jackets, hats and boots. It takes us 20 minutes to get out the door by the time we are all bundled up! Here are some pictures of our winter fun; Charlie was a wild man in the snow and could not get enough of it. He loved sledding and trying out his skis. Luella enjoyed being along for the ride and liked to watch Charlie play in the snow :)

Happy Spring!

Hello from Luella (finally)

Hey! It's me, Luella. I am already 6 1/2 months old and I have only had one and half blog entries so I have decided to give myself a little shout out. I know my Mommy thinks about her lack of blogging about me; at least once a day I hear her say, "holy crap! I need to do the blog, poor Luella is going to think I forgot about her" So, I thought I would be nice and help her out.

Let's see, I noticed the last entry was in October and I have changed a lot since then: I can sit up by myself, I am starting to eat solids, the bath is my happy place, I am a super-loud talker, and I love to jump (just to name a few) For the most part, I am very relaxed and I love to hang out and watch everything/everyone around me. Recently, I have developed a little attitude with people I do not know or do not see on an a daily basis. I get super annoyed when these people try to get in my face or hold me. Ever hear of 'stranger-danger'? Well, I have it in a major way - just let me be by my Mommy and Daddy and I will judge you from their arms. Other than my recent stranger-danger attitude, I am a very easy going baby. I love to give hugs and cuddles to my Mommy and Daddy and sometimes my brother.

Speaking of Charlie, he is my favorite person. I can be in the worst mood and if Charlie comes along, I am all smiles. All he has to do is look at me or try to make me laugh by making ridiculous sounds. He likes yelling my name at the top of his lungs - "WA-WA" (I know one day he will say my name correctly) But I am not always a fan of Charlie for 2 reasons: 1) He is obsessed with my head and loves to hit it - not cool. 2) He thinks I am a bowling pin; when I am sitting up minding my own business, he will come along and push me over and yell "Mommy-Mama, Wa-Wa down" Translation: "Mommy, I knocked Luella down" Mommy saves me every time by picking me up and making sure I am OK. Then Charlie has to give me a hug and kiss and we are all good. But he better stop these shenanigans soon - rumor has it 'time outs' are about to begin for Charlie.

I must get going now. I am glad I was able to squeeze a blog entry in on behalf of my Mommy, she is going to be so excited :)

xo.
