4 Months Old

On Aril 10th Whitney was 4 moths old. She has had 4 major events happen in her life since she has turned 4 months! The first being she is rolling from belly to back and is so close to rolling from back to belly, second is that she has added rice cereal to her menu of foods (so now she has 2 items on the menu!), third she is sleeping through the night (personally this one is my favorite), and fourthly she has started daycare (this is my least favorite event)! So as you can see Whitney has been very busy this month.

Gymnastics

Elliot started a Mommy/Daddy and Me Gymnastics class. It is four weeks long. His first class was last Wednesday. He loved trying out all the different gymnastic equipment. his favorite activities were the ones he got to have a running start at.

Here he is getting ready to flip over the bar. He is with the instructor.

Hanging from the rings
Walking across the balance beam. He was suprsingly very good at this.

Here is Elliot's favorite:

This is a really long trampoline that he is suppose to jump down and then land onto a mat, but Elliot loved to just run full blast down it . He does not have the hang of jumping yet, so we are hoping that this class will help with that milestone.

I Love My New Toys

Elliot got lots of great things for his birthday! Here are a few pictures of him playing with some of his new toys.

Elliot is really into cooking right now so Grant and I and Jenny and James gave him cooking stuff for his birthday. He absolutely loves it!

Here he is showing off his new hat and apron set.

Elliot also loves trains. Thanks to Grandma Peg and Grandpa Todd he got a Thomas the Train set. He loves to sit and watch the train go around the track. He also likes to make it go faster by pushing it himself around the track!

Uncle Ryan and Aunt Lorelei gave him this backpack with wheels. He spends a lot of time running from one end of the house to the other wheeling his backpack!
I don't have pictures of him in his new Twins hoodie that Jed, Becky, and Jack got him but he also loves that. We are hoping to take him to a Twins game this summer sporting his new Twins wear. He also got a new pair of shoes from Jennifer, Chuck, and Ilana that came in the mail yesterday. He had to put them on immediately and didn't take them off until bedtime. Thanks everyone for thinking of Elliot on his birthday!

I will leave you with a random picture, but thought it was post worthy! Elliot came out of his bedroom riding his lawn mower and wearing this hood. Of course I had to take a picture of our goofy little boy!

Elliot turned 2!!!

It is hard to believe but Elliot is 2 already!!! Those 2 years have gone by so fast. On Saturday we had a birthday party for him. He had a great day!!! It was beautiful outside so the kids were able to play outside while the adults enjoyed the nice weather on the deck.

Instead of ordering a cake Jenny offered to make one. We decided to have mud pie. It was the birhday tradition at the Wolff (Jenny's house) household and I always enjoyed getting in on this tradition. It is very yummy. We attempted to use icing gel to write hapy birthday, but it didn't turn out the best. Oh well, the cake was very YUMMY!! I think Elliot would agree.

Singing Happy Birthday

Opening presents .............this was a long process because Elliot wanted to play with every toy he opened!

Enjoying the warm weather
Last weekend Gavin got this soccer ball for his birthday. Elliot loves kicking it around. Becky and him were playing with the ball and stopped for a quick picture!


Playing in the park

Pushing Ilana around in his car.

Ryan and Jenny

I will leave you with a picture of Whitney in her party dress............... she looked so cute!!

Stay tuned for pictures of Elliot enjoying all his birthday toys!

Our week with Jenny and James

Jenny and James came to visit. They were here for a whole week and boy did we ever have a great time. It was wonderful having them here!!! We played, shopped, and did lots of visiting.

Whitney and James chilling together. We did not plan the outfits, but boy did we get lucky on them mathcing so well!

We attempted to get a posed picture of all 3 kids and this is what we got, not the best. Elliot was such a helper when it came to taking pictures. He was always willing to hold the babies and do his best at keeping them happy. At this time know matter what we did Whitney was not going to be happy!

Elliot enjoed sharing the bath with James. It was great practice for when Whitney is ready to take baths with him.

We also went swimming while Jenny and James were here. It was James and Whitney's first swimming experiences. James was unsure of the water at first, but after a 1/2 hour of sitting on the sidelines he got in. Whitney loved the water, but got cold quickly.

Elliot loves to be dunked under the water. This is a picture right after being dunked!
Hanging out on the sidelines all wrapped up in their towels

Jenny, James, Whitney, and I also went shopping while they were here. In the picture below both of them slept while Jenny and I bought clothes for them. We ran into some killer deals at the Children's Place. You can never beat the $1.99 and $2.99 racks!!!

St. Patrick's Day

I hope you all had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!! We had a great day. Jenny and James were here and then Ryan and our friends Jed, Becky, and Jack all came over for corn beef and cabbage. Here are some pictures of the kids sporting their St. Patty's Day shirts.

We did our best to get a good picture of all 4 kids and this is what we got. James is in the striped shirt on the left and Jack is the little boy that is attacking Whitney. For some reason his mouth always goes right for her head.

3 Months Old

I know I just posted Whitney's 2 month bear pictures, but now it is time for the 3 month pictures. Whitney turned 3 months this past Tuesday. You will notice that she has one sock on ad one sock off. I couldn't keep the one sock on for the life of me!
