Walking and Singing!

Elody is finally walking! She isn't great yet but she is getting there fast. She is actually sick in this video but in a great mood! Also Camryn didn't want to be outdone so she told/sang Humpty Dumpty and Baa Baa Black Sheep. No Camryn does not have ADHD but in this video she sure looks like it!

My Girls are Growing Up!!!

Elody has been trying new foods and is starting to figure out that the real stuff is much better than the stuff that she has been getting out of the jars! This one however she wasn't so sure of at first :)

hmmm... you want me to eat this???


I guess, I'll try anything


all gone!


A big girl with a bigger smile :D


Ok, ok, ok, I know that Camryn doesn't have a lot of hair and she probably didn't need to have it cut but what girl doesn't like to get her hair done?!? Camryn did great with her first haircut! She sat still and Emily even said that she was "the best 2 year old ever." I of course think that my child is the smartest and cutest but she is rarely referred to as the "best." Maybe that is because she has my personality :)


Such a pretty smile. She was very proud of the penguins she was wearing.


All trimmed up. Maybe next time we will have to get a manicure too!

Fun in the snow

Camryn was very excited to play in the snow this year. Once she got out there she wasn't sure what to do though. She pretty much just walked around and tried not to get stuck.


Elody got in on a little of the outdoor fun. She loves to be outside now and apparently doesn't understand that when it is cold she needs to stay in. She only was out for a little while but had a blast watching Camryn.


After going back inside and freaking out because Camryn was still outside we decided to go back out and bundled up a little more the second time...


We had to build a snowman before all the snow melted. Unfortunately we didn't have all the necessary parts to make Frosty look perfect (no coal, carrot, or top hat) but we tried to make do with what we had :)


In her defense throwing a snowball with oversized mittens on can't be easy, but watching Camryn try might have been the funniest thing I have ever seen! I'm pretty sure she thought she was throwing shot put.

Santa. the Grinch, and more

Elody's favorite thing to do now (besides trying to climb the stairs) is to crawl under the desk and stand up and peek out at me through the hole by the keyboard.


Poor Elody grows hair as fast as her sister did and therefore is often mistaken for a boy. We decided to put a pony in her hair the other day to try to make her girlier :) They both thought it was pretty funny.


Telling Santa what you want is very serious business!


Elody didn't really want much ;)


We tried to get them to smile for a picture... this is the best we got. It is hard with two!!! I was just glad they both seemed to like Santa this year!


After visiting Santa we visited the Grinch. They tried to tell Camryn that this is the Grinch after his heart grew, but she still wasn't real sure about him (which explains why she is standing so far away from him).

Three little ladies :)

Elody finally met her littlest cousins this weekend. It's too bad we didn't get pictures when they were all happy. These pictures were taken at about 2:30 in the afternoon and naps were all way overdue! They kind of sat for the first one and then little Maggie was out of there! It is hard to believe that Molly and Maggie are 3 1/2 months older than Elody because she is the same size!





This last picture is way too funny! If we only knew what they were thinking!

Christmas Pics

***Update: I have now created an album with all the pictures. Click on the family picture on the right to see the rest.

Here are some of the Christmas pictures we had taken. We didn't get many because both girls were apparently not in the mood to take pictures. Elody has always been the easy one until now, this time all she wanted to do was crawl! We finally got a few pictures of Camryn but had a tough time doing so.

Holiday fun... well it was supposed to be!

Pictures from the lights ceremony downtown, before the carriage ride fiasco!





Yes I know this last picture is very flattering, no I'm not pregnant it just looks like it in the picture :)
