We love messy faces

Here is an outfit that I wore when I was a baby!

My brother Darin wore this little outfit. It was a little short for Nathan!

Brotherly love..I don't think so!

As I was making dinner, I can hear giggling. I tried to get that on video, but I ended up getting Nathan showing his brotherly love to Ella by pulling her hair. Luckily, she was in a good mood and didn't cry. I am sure it will only get worse.

Ella is walking behind the toy walker

Here is Ella walking behind the toy walker. She is not quite as fast as Nathan, but does not get frustrated like Nathan, when she runs into a barrier. Amazing the little mile stones these guys are making!

Nathan mastering walking with a toy walker

Nathan has pretty much mastered the art of walking behind a toy walker. Although, as you can see in the video, he gets pretty frustrated when he runs into any obstacles. It is pretty funny to watch his frustration. Does this mean he will be walking on his own soon?

Ella learns the word "no"

Ella learned how to shake her head"no" last week. At first she would just shake her head no if we said the word, now she actually knows that if we say "no," she shouldn't be doing what she is doing. This doesn't mean she always obeys. but we are trying.

Some last shots of the end of summer fun

Nathan and Ella love to "rock a bye"

We washed her on "gentle cycle"

Falling asleep at lunch time

Can you say "cheesy smile" Ella

Nathan tuckered out from all this beach fun

yes Nathan is lying face down

They actually slept a good 40 minutes at the beach. They got quite a few ohhhs and ahhhhs from all the passer byers!

Ella loved to stand by the umbrella pole

Nathan had lots to say about the beach

Lots of people thought we were brave to take these two to the beach

Ella loves my tricks

This one is for my mom and dad. We had just talked to them about an hour before this on the web cam and the babies were starting to have "melt downs." Shortly after we ended the conversation with them, the babies took a short nap and now Ella is all smiles and giggles. Not for long though, she currently is crying at my legs as I try to finish this sentence.
