Breakfast

Breakfast picnic on the front porch. Yes, our Christmas lights are still up.

Jay and Grandpa

Jay and Grandpa Tilley are great buddies! (Jay had just taken a bath and wanted to sit with Grandpa while he watched his bedtime show.)

Ella's Baptism

On Sunday, February 16, Ella was baptized at our church, Redeemer Presbyterian.  She wore a beautiful gown made just for her by Grandma Linda.  Ella is God's covenant child!

Sitter!

Ella can sit up on her own! She's been getting closer over the last couple of weeks, but for the last day or two, she's been able to sit for at least 15 minutes without falling!  Big girl!

Weewa no more

Jay no longer calls Ella "Weewa".  She is now "Ewwa".  Today, Jay was helping me with the dishes while Ella was playing on the floor nearby, and he said "Hi, We...Ewwa"!  Then a few seconds later: "I wuh wu, Ewwa!"  (translation: I love you, Ella!"

Refrigerator

I cleaned out the fridge today -- as in took out every shelf and scrubbed them down. Jay knew what I was doing, but I know he's too little to know empty flattery...tonight, when Jay was putting away his milk cup, he said, "Oh, so pwetty! So pretty fridge, Mommy!"  Love my boy!!!
