New Year's Eve

Ben has to preach for church tonight and after that we're heading out to dinner together. Thank goodness I'm finally feeling better. Hope you have a great New Year.

Two Year Check-up

Eliana had her Two Year appt today. What happened to our baby? She according to the scale this time is 24 lbs and is 32 1/2 inches tall. That puts her between the 10th and 25th percentile. She's always been our little peanut. She was definitely excited about the Dr. and her visit because in the middle of her nap she said "Doctor, Doctor", rolled over and fell back asleep. Her ear infection is clearing up and she's all smiles :)

I caught her reading books to her bunny.

More Christmas

Look at Ben already entertaining two little ones. He's such a good dad.

Merry Christmas...and Happy Birthday Eliana!

Our baby girl is two already. We celebrated low key with just Ben and myself as her big party will be Jan. 11th, the same weekend of her baptism. This is a tradition we've started.

This is her way of telling us she's two.

Kisses for cousin Jacob.

Her new Graco play set from Jason and Julie was a hit.

Though it's hard to tell from this view, Ben was getting some eye shadow put on by Miss Eliana.

First Ear Infection

This morning we ended up taking Eliana to the Dr. She has had a fever since Friday and I was starting to worry since she seemed to be getting worse rather than better. Turns out she has an ear infection, her first one. Although she may very possibly get better on her own without meds, he gave her an antibiotic considering all her nose and chest congestions. I hope by her birthday tomorrow she's feeling a little more like herself.

Almost forgot, Eliana is a whopping 23lbs 12 oz.

Cookies

Recently on one of our many cold wintery blustery below zero snowy days, Ellie and I made Christmas cut out cookies. Glad we got it done because unfortunately both she and I are once again sick with a nasty cold.

Caught in the act. If you ask my mom she'd tell you I NEVER did this :)

Building For Kids

Ben and I took Eliana to the Children's Museum today. She had a blast and didn't want to leave. I know she can't wait until she gets her membership (from mom for Christmas).

Looking out the window at the angels decorations on College Ave.

Making her own glitter globe.

Listening to the baby's heartbeat in the baby hospital.

She made us a meal of yummy toast.

Lady in Red

I had my second ultrasound this morning and will hopefully get the results tomorrow as to whether the placenta has moved.

Every time Eliana wears this shirt she talks about how her grandma took her to see Elmo because this was the shirt she wore that day.

Poor Daddy

Ben wasn't feeling well last week and took the opportunity to relax on the couch when he had a moment. But, there's no such thing as rest when you have an almost two year old in the house. She took every single toy from her basket and put it on Ben.
