Happy Halloween!

little sister

Hutson would not participate in the photo shoot even though he was wearing his big brother shirt.  So we have a picture of the little sister all be herself.  She looks thrilled doesn't she.  :)  Thanks for the cute shirt Rachel!  

2 months

Last week Ella turned 2 months.  I was a little under the weather so I didn't get her pictures taken till this weekend.  I tried for one of Hutson and Ella together but didn't get anything.  Hutson is boycotting the camera lately.  Eleanor doesn't have much choice.  :)

My friend Anna is comparing her two kids' growth patterns and I thought it was a fun idea and stole the idea from her.
Hutson birth:
9 lbs 1 oz (90%), 20 1/2 inches (90%)
Ella birth:
6 lbs 15 oz (25%), 20 inches (75%)

Hutson 2 months:
12 lbs, 11 oz (75%), 22 3/4 inches (50%), 41 cm head circumference (75%)
Ella 2 months:
9lbs 4 oz (10%), 22 1/4 inches (50%), 39 cm head circumference (50%)

Ella at two months:
- smiles at us and the ceiling fan.  It's pretty funny to watch her give big smiles to the ceiling fans.
- sleeps sometimes 9 hours at night!
- rolled over three times in a row from front to back.  However she was in the pack and play and has not repeated this.
- loves to be outside
- doesn't really care for the bottle but will tolerate it if there is no other option.

favorite toy

the boy and the ukulele

This weekend we went to Houston or Fulshear to be exact.  I begged and pleaded with Hutson to let me take some pictures in Mike's parents backyard.  I finally had to resort to a bribe.  He wanted a popsicle.  Thankfully Aunt Ti and Uncle Joe had some and Grant graciously went to his house for it.  Thanks Grant!  I grabbed MawMaw's ukulele for the pics.  She played it in high school.  Isn't that cool!  Hutson ended up having a blast and we only took pics for about 20 minutes.  He loves to sing and play instruments so it was perfect.

Ella started smiling two weeks ago but usually not when I had my camera in hand.  Today though she gifted me with a big smile while I was holding the camera.  Yay!!  I just had to share.  Isn't she a cutie!?!
