Ella turns 4!!

My Princess, Ella Jo turned 4 on August 7th! I cannot believe my baby girl is already four and will be starting preschool in September!
We had a Hawaiian themed party for her the week before her birthday because we were camping on her actual birthday. She loved her party and had so much fun! She got a new "big girl bike" along with many other presents!
She weighs 33.29lbs and is 3ft 6in tall which puts her in 36% for weight and 97% for height. In other words...tall and skinny!!
Miss Ella Jo is still the sassy little princess of the family. She knows what she wants, when she wants it, and if she doesn't get her own way...LOOK OUT!!! She is still our stubborn, hard-headed little girl and, as my mom puts it, she does not give her love away easily, you have to work for it, but, when she does, she absolutely melts your heart with those big blue eyes of hers. One minute she can be as sassy as they come and the next, she can curl up next to you, lay her head on your shoulder and tell you that she loves you soooo much. You never know what you're going to get with her! She loves being a big sister to baby Noah and she looks up to Jax so much.
She gets more beautiful, sassy, independent and stubborn everyday! We love you, Miss Ella Jo!! Happy Birthday, my beautiful girl!

Two months old!

Baby Noah was 2 months old on July 31st. Two months?!?! How did that happen so quick?? I swear just yesterday I was as big as a whale and couldn't get comfortable no matter what I did, and now he is already two months!
Baby Noah is still just as precious and cuddly and sweet as he was the day he was born...but, he is DEFINITELY not as little, he weighs 13lb 15oz and is 23 inches long, which puts him in 92% for weight and 75% for length. He is my sweet little chunk! He has the chubbiest, most kissable cheeks that I just can't get enough of, absolutely adorable rolls on his arms and legs, and a chubby little tummy.
He has the sweetest little toothless grin that melts me everytime I see it. He has figured out how to coo and loves to hear the sound of his voice. He has, for the most part, figured out how to get those chubby little hands up to his mouth and sometimes prefers them over his binky, although when he really wants to fall asleep, he wants his binky in his mouth, a blanket around him, and to be snuggled as close as he can possibly be...this does not hurt Mommy or Daddy's feelings!
He loves to lay in his colorful bed, or in his swing and watch the mobile with all the animals and colors, but he kicks those little legs and grins when he sees me coming to get him out and snuggle. I wish I could freeze him at this age because I don't want my baby growing up so fast. I love this stage he is in, although I find myself saying that I love every stage my kids are in! He is much more aware of what is going on around him and he sleeps really well at night. Such a big boy! In other words, he is a perfect, happy baby and I can't get enough of him!!
