Story Time

Just like all good parents, we enjoy reading books to LE before she goes to bed.  Lately, Ba has started telling her stories.  Now LE likes those stories best.  Tonight I gave LE the chance to tell her own story about when “she was little.”  After being asked, LE said she wanted to tell a story about “going shopping for clothes with mommy.”  The audio is pretty funny, but super hard to understand, so I just typed it out.  Spoiler alert: the following story only briefly mentions shopping, and nothing about clothes…

Ellie: So when I was little...  Once upon a time, we wanted to go, so we drove in your car, Sarah-car. And we met our friends. Shane and great.  And we met them, and we didn’t know their mommies name.  So we asked her and she said “yes”.  And then my mommy asked her, and she said Goah.

Ry: What was the other mommies name again?”

Ellie: Goah. Then it was raining, on top of the store roof, and we got a cart.  And we drove, and there were two seats.  So BayK stand on it with me, she is a girl. And she sit next to me, we were best friends.  And then it starts raining, and snowing.  It was doing both.  We couldn’t get out.  There was snow on the ground, and snow on the roof, and snow on the ground, and snow on the road.  We couldn’t get out.  We were stuck.  We were stuck when we drived.  And then it stopped snowing.  So we drove to our home.  And then we heard a noise.  KohKeh.  What was that?  It was the monster.  It was a nice monster, not a mean one.  It was lots of monsters.  Some were nice and some were mean. 

Ry: Did you have a party with the monsters?

Ellie: No, they played with us.  We didn’t have lots of car seats.  So we took Shaner out, and put him in the back.  And our friend, she had two car seats.  They had lots of car seats.  We had one in the front.  Sit right here.  The monster said lets sit.  DomDom.  And then, that was my mommas watch, the ding ding.  Oh, my momma said.  Until it was raining and snowing.  So we drove fast, and got home.  And we went inside our home.  And then, it rained on top of our roof, and it rained outside.  It was still raining.  Shaner cried.  Me and Shaner cried.

Ry: So you cried because of the rain, and not the monsters

Ellie: No, the monsters were sleeping with me.  The monsters were not crying.  I didn’t cry, the monsters didn’t cry.  Shaner cried.  They were little bitty tiny baby monsters.  There are big ones and little ones.  They wanted to sleep with me.  Can you hold them?  Be careful with them.  

Getting bigger

We have not posted any pictures of our little Bean for awhile.

Just a few thing about him as you look at these cute pics. He is such a sweet baby, not sure how we ended up with two such wonderful children. 

 He only cries when hunger, tired. 

 He loves to watch LE play and run around.  She can really get him laughing when she is silly. 

He loves Hair- so watch out. 

 He has it timed to the dot how long it takes Ba to leave his room and have her head hit the pillow before he starts to cry in the night. With that said he is a good sleeper, but still wakes up 3 to 2 times at night. 

We still are in hibornation for at least another month. But have loved the warm weather. 

He loves his soft dog he got from an old neighbor when he was in the NICU and an elephant that was also given to him in the NICU. Most of all moms water bottle (it is with us all the time). 

7 months old pics. 

                                                                    Not loving the hat

 Ry and Ba went up to Logan to pertisapate in a little Tri the univeristy was putting on.  One of Bas good friends watch LE and Bean while we were gone.  Here is Bean holding hands with Gwen, she is one month older.

                                                 Dad LOVEs to put him in funny places.

 Eating for the first time. He enjoy his solids very, very much.  We like to joke that he is already breaking the bank with how much he eats. 

 Sitting up, watching what is going on around him and playing with his toys is a favorite pass time for Bean.  Rolling and tummy time are at the bottom.

                                                    Who doesn't love a naked baby!

                                Just look at that smile and big blue eyes, isn't your heart just melting?

 We had to add in Ry birthday, he turned 29!!!! This last month, just look at all those caddles.

Sledding

We have loved playing in the snow; which we have had a lot of this winter.  We built snowmen, forts, castles, slides, a race track, tunnels and just had some good times.
