January 2011


Somehow Ian's picture turned out sideways, I have no idea why, or how to fix it. He loves Ellie! He always wants to kiss her and hold her, and always talks to her in a high baby-talk voice. It's cute. He is still loving school, he just finished a project about Ancient Egypt that was interesting. He likes math and science best. He has some circuits that he loves to play with, and he and his brothers play "Toy Story" all the time.




Caleb is always trying to get on Daddy's shoulders! Or climb on his back, or something. He's a climber. He loves to tie things up, I am forever untying knots or tying rubber bands on strings. He loves to play "Toy Story" too, and fireman, and construction worker, whatever - he's always pretending to be someone else. He's happy to be back home, and not going to preschool. He had fun there, but is happier at home! He doesn't like to go places, if I ask if he wants to come with me somewhere, he will say, "if it's cold outside I will just stay home."



Levi loves his stuffed friends! He takes good care of his baby doll, he tucks her in and feeds her (her name is Ellie). He sleeps with all the stuffed animals he can find. He loves to pretend, too, he and Caleb play and pretend all day long. One minute they are kings, the next construction workers, and then they're hanging up their Christmas lights. He has quite an imagination.

We've been doing some preschool activities in the mornings, and one day we were using yarn to figure out long and short, and they had the idea to put them all end to end and see if they were as long as the yarn. They were pretty close!

Ellie is definitely well loved!

Ellie is almost a month past her due date. She's over 8.5 pounds! She has awake times every day, where she is pretty happy. She also has a fussy time at night. She makes this cute little face sometimes......

....and, she's starting to smile! She is doing it on purpose now, although it's still hard to get a smile out of her. She is staring to "talk" also, when she's looking at you. She can be very intent on looking at you sometimes. She's mostly a happy little girl, and we're glad to have her around!
