We have a crawler!

After waking up to practice at 4 AM this morning, we officially have another child on the move! I was getting Ella dressed and she left her book and reading pen right out of Lily's reach. We looked over and saw her pull her arms forward, stick her buns in the air, then wiggle her feet, and she was off. Not far, but enough to get her to what she wanted. I took it away, and she did a 90 degree turn towards us, went a few inches, then got tired. Way to go Lily!!!

Princess Party

Ella's good friend, McKenzie, turned 3 and had a princess party. The girls were all asked to dress as their favorite princess. There was even a special guest, Cinderella. Apparently she told Ella she'd see her again soon at her birthday party. Thanks Cinderella! See more pictures here.

Swingers

Ella wasn't really a fan of swings when she was little, but now loves swings. So we weren't really sure what sort of reaction we'd get from Lily, but she LOVES swinging! Our neighborhood just built a new playground (thanks to our friend Carlyn) We went to check it out and it's a hit! We've gone back almost everyday since!

Newsflash!

Lily is starting branch out and try new foods. Here we see her eating some puffs. Definitely newsworthy...

Snow Day

One of the things we told Ella to sell her on Charlotte was that it snows more there. Of course, she somehow turned that into the fact that we were going to live closer to Santa and have reindeer. Now it looks like Charlotte is going to have a lot to live up to with all of this snow. And you know, Ella needs lots of snow for her snow collection.
