Here are some random pictures from the past couple weeks!
We made another attempt at pig tails the other day.
Elli was feeding 'baby Sally' juice in this picture right before our trip to the library. Lately, we have taken this baby everywhere. She loves this baby and takes such good care of it. She especially loves when we start taking care of the baby....she just watches us and smiles.
Connor after his 1st of 2 cardiology appointments.
I took Connor to the cardiology for a check up a few weeks ago. This picture was taken on our way out of the office- he was exhausted. We were there for 3 hours and had an hour drive (round trip)....it was a long afternoon. Connor had an EKG done along with an echocardiogram. He did great with the EKG, but was not a fan of lying still for 45 minutes while they took an ultrasound of his heart (not surprising- he was 7 months old). He had other plans for this echo and decided that he in fact would control where the Doppler went. Needless to say, this echo didn't work and they got some bad results from it. So, we were scheduled for a sedated echo a week later.
My mom came with me for the sedated echo while my dad stayed home with Elli. We had to withhold food from Connor from 2am on before the testing. I woke up at 1:30am to give him a few ounces of milk to try to help with his hunger the next morning before the test. His appointment was at 8:00 and he finally got the sedation meds around 9:00. He passed out immediately and the test went well! The dr. said the hole was still there, but they didn't think it was having any kind of effect on him. So...we go back in 1 year for another check-up! He came out of sedation well and didn't get sick from the medication!
We took a quick, random road trip to my grandparent's house here in Ohio on Saturday late-afternoon to help celebrate my Grandpa's birthday. Bella came with us and enjoyed the road trip.
Connor got to take his first ride on the carousel!!
Elli was so excited to ride the horses!! She got to take 2 rides on the carousel and loved it!! She is currently watching a video of a carousel on my phone right now and laughing with excitement! She keeps saying 'next week' meaning we can go next week (ha....don't think so)!
We then went to the local children's museum which was free! I can't believe we fit it all in within an hour!
We've been playing outside more as the temperatures are slowly starting to increase! I made the kiddos sit for a picture before we went outside.
They were both ready to go outside. This isn't the best picture, but they have the same look on their faces and I think they look so much alike in this picture!!
Lately, 'baby sally' has had to come with us on our walks. Elli pushes 'baby Sally' in her stroller and I push Connor in his stroller. These walks tend to take for-e-ver!!!! Oh my!!
Within only a couple feet from our house baby needed her paci, then decided she didn't want her paci, then needed a bottle, then didn't want to sit in the stroller, then she needed picked up, then she needed to be put to sleep. Unbelievable- who would have thought this fake baby could be just has high maintenance as a real baby!! Not only was baby needy, but Elli kept taking off her glasses every time we walked into shade. Ha....do you realize how many trees line our neighborhood? So...every couple feet the glasses came off, then they went back on, and the process was repeated over and over again!
Connor was ready to get going and was not too excited about having to stop every 5 inches for baby or Elli's sunglasses!
