We suck!!! I can’t wait wait wait for spring to get these back down! Wow!
That’s all I have to say on this matter!
Just an update… March 5, 2009
It’s been a while since I’ve taken the time to put anything substantial on here.. so here it is.
Avali– Avali is doing very well in school and she is loving it! She is writing her name like a pro now, along with Ella’s name, and anything else we will help her with! We’re working on counting right now. Ok so yeah, that sounds silly considereing she’s nearly five, but this girl just does not want to count! Ugh Girls!!! She’s been incredibly well behaved and so understanding with Cooper! Don’t get me wrong, we still have the tantrums, just nothing like we used to! She’s come a long way baby! She is so excited about having a baby sister… and understands that is MAY be a brother despite what Ella says. Although Ava would prefer a new big sister. It’s kind of hard to get that point across to her. No matter what Ava will always be the big sister, but just fits the role so well! Miss Ava will be turning FIVE this month and I just can never understand where that time went! It sounds so cliche, but how is she five already? So here is a picture I took of Ava this afternoon, just a little doll! The chart is from her check up yesterday, the details are that legible, but you can get the idea… the kid is off the charts for her height and weight and always has been!

Ellison– Oh my Ella, dear dear gross princess Ella. God love the child, but wow! Ella is such a princess. The girl is constantly in a princess dress or something girly! BUT she is always always dirty! Fresh out of the tub… dirty! On saturday she was caught licking… yes I said licking… the front edge of the walmart service counter! ACK!!! So so incredibly gross… not long after that, eating jello off the floor of the chinese restaurant before I even knew what was happening! BUT I have to say, the girl has an immune system like I’ve never seen! 
But really, she is the sweetest thing! She loves her brother, she loves her sister, and she cannot wait for her “new baby sister” to come! She rubs my belly every morning to talk to her baby sister and see if she can feel her. Ella is a huge cuddle bug right now, and is known to be the one of our kids that will fall asleep pretty much anywhere!

Cooper– Then there’s Coop-Man Stink… Cooper is FULL of it lately! A wild wild boy! He loves to dance, and play with cars and trucks… and occasionally his sister’s dress up stuff! (Much to Daddy’s dismay!) Cooper likes to tell us when he has an icky diaper and is, from time to time, wanting us to put him on the potty! Don’t assume though, because he is no where near ready to train! Coopie man is a jabber box lately too! He has probably 60 words or so… maybe more and is using up to 4 or 5 word phrases. Oh but the temper! He’s starting to remind us of those fabulous tantrum months from Avas 18 month to 2 year age span. Not cool! But he is a hugger and a lover, and that totally makes up for it! I love that he is still a snuggler. He loves his left thumb and his blue afghans, so that helps the snuggling a lot! ♥
