My Baby boy is 2!!!

My goodness how the years fly by. Caleb is 2 years old tomorrow and Miss Ellery is 5 months! It is crazy how quickly they grow up! It seems like just yesterday that I was having my little meltdown about not wanting to be pregnant anymore and wanting the next stage of my life to start. And start it has-life with two is super fun, but crazed at times too.



Caleb on February 28th, 2005-2 days old.

Caleb at 1 (actually about one month before.)

And here is the birthday boy at 2!



Ellery's first attempts at sitting up alone-February 13th


Hmmm. I don't think I like these bananas mommy.

Here she is-the five month old 2/22/07!

and while I was trying to take Ellery's picture for her 5 month birthday, Caleb was trying so very hard to get my attention. He kept saying "LOOK AT CALEB!!!" so finally I had to take some pictures of him too. What a little ham!


Mmmm...sweet potatoes are much better than bananas!

Go Heels! (Daddy's favorite basketball team)

Oh, wait, maybe I should give them a thumbs down. Go duke???

Here Caleb is answering the nightly question "Who's crazy?"

Happy 2nd Birthday

Caleb Raymond Leigh. We love you!

We also had a party for me as I will turn 30 on 2/28, but I wasn't very good at taking pictures after Caleb's party. I wanted to visit. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with me. I had a good time and I hope all of you did as well.

Out in the snow on Feb 11th. Ellery's first adventure outside. She didn't squak at all about the cold, but it was one of the warmer, sunny days. It was nice to get outside with the boys.

Caleb did a little face plant in the snow and then he was "ALL DONE!!!"

Here we are outside this past sunday with all the snow. Caleb is getting more used to playing in it and seems to be having a better time. At least this day he didn't have any face encounters with the snow! We tried to build a snowman, but the snow wasn't quite snowman material. Daddy built a big pile instead.

One crazy weekend!

Well, I finally broke down and bought a digital camera, it's my 30th birthday present. I figured that it would indeed be more fun to have one and be able to take tons of pictures of my babies. So now I will be able to post more pictures of them. We would have had tons of fun with it this weekend, but we dealt with our first stomach virus. We did MANY loads of laundry instead! We were able to take some, so here they are.

Look at that head control!

Showing some attitude!

Caleb playing downstairs in his playroom with dad. Hopefully Caleb will be a little more of a handyman than his daddy.

In the play tunnel in the playroom.

On Saturday, Ellery had her first taste of rice cereal. She didn't quite know what to do with it and from the picture below, you can see that it tired her out. We did have some on Sunday, but after that, we stopped because her brother was a little extra work and mom and dad didn't have much energy after dealing with him.

Two tired boys. Poor Caleb even had his first emergency room visit on Sunday night. He was a little needier than usual and wanted to be held for the majority of the weekend, so Ellery got to know her exersaucer pretty well. All is well now though, thankfully!
