I'm 2 months old!

Oh my, where has the time gone.  I can't believe that Elle is 2 months old! She is really cooing and making a lot of vocalizations these days.  She smiles a lot especially when Corey or I walk out of her sight range and then we return.  It's the sweetest thing ever! She is starting to pull up with her arms during tummy time.  SLOW down Elle!  Don't grow up too fast please!

Tummy time!

 Here comes Derby.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day from the Balentine's :)

Thanks for the outfit Momo and thanks for the hat Mimi!

Thanks Ginger for making the cute shirt and leggings!  We LOVE them!

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's day!  We did!   Corey got us some pretty pink roses and took us to dinner. Elle had her first Valentine's celebration tonight at Fish City Grill.  It was kid friendly and it was yummy! Oh how our celebrations have changed but we wouldn't have it any other way!

Snowed in Take Two!

We only thought we had seen a lot of snow!  We've broken records here with 22 inches of snow this time!  It has made it really hard for people to get around but it hasn't effected Elle and I because we've been staying indoors away from this COLD weather anyway.  It was -6 degrees here this morning!?!  Now Derby is really confused!

"I'm not going out there!"

This was taken from the inside of our house.  The snow is all the way up to the window pane!

"Come on mom, let me go play in the snow."

So I was taking pictures of Elle on the chair in her nursery and...

In comes Derby running out of nowhere.  He jumped on the chair and posed for the camera.  It was as if he was saying I want my picture taken too!  It was pretty funny!

While we were covered in snow in Northwest Arkansas, Corey was:

in Puerto Rico!  It's a hard job but somebody has to do it :) His company had their yearly meeting there and they could not have timed it better (for Corey anyway).  He came home last night and he could not believe all the snow we had gotten! I'm just glad he was able to get home without any problems.

Snowed in!

Isn't this weather crazy!?  I believe there is approximately 9 inches of snow in spots here in Rogers.  We took Elle to the doctor yesterday.  It's pretty bad when you look forward to going to the doctor just to get out of the house!  Elle's new stats:  weight 10 lb. 6 oz. and 22 inches long.  She is a growing girl!  She had a small cold/congestion when we went to the doctor (b/c daddy has had one:)  so we decided to put off her shots until next week.  They want to give her 4 shots and 1 oral vaccination next week! :( I think that will be harder on me than it will her!

View from outside our front door on Friday.  We've had 2-3 more inches since then!

Derby trying to go potty in this craziness.

Finally he has figured out that is easier to just go under the deck!

Quit taking pictures of me!

Thanks for this shirt Mimi!
