18 Month Stats

Hard to believe, but our little E & E are now 18 months. They both are walking/running at full speed and want to get into everything! Ellery does a lot of sign language and Emily is more verbal. She's always saying "ashes, ashes, ashes" or "read, read, read" Both girls are saying the usual "momma", "dadda", "ball", "book", but Emily had added what sounds like "baseball". Not sure where that came from. I'm hoping that they continue to expand their verbal skills because we are neck deep in the tantrum phase. It is definitely an interesting time. It is crazy how small something can be that will set off a major tantrum. Who knew!!!

They had their 18 months well baby check up this last week and Ellery now weighs in at 22.6lbs and Emily is at 19lbs 10oz. Just under that 20lb mark. She's still lagging in the weight gain so we need to do a little added fat to get her up over that milestone. Both girls are doing really great and we're getting closer and closer to their actual age rather than having to adjust back to the age they should have been (using a May 20th due date). They sure are busy little people!

Ellery & Emily - they really like the new camera. They always want to get a closer look.

Heather & Andy - 4 years ago today

August 27, 2005
The Tiffany Center
Portland, OR
Looks like we both had the wedding we've always dreamed of. We're both all smiles....but wait - where did the crutches come from?
Let me explain..............


Normal wedding - Bride walks down the isle


Couple stands before their loved ones exchanging wedding vows

Groom steps on the traditional wine glass....why does he look like he is in pain?

He looks like he's in pain because said wine glass just impaled his foot through his shoe. Now after bride realized something was wrong she's looking at the puddles of blood on the white isle way.

But after a quick trip to the ER groom returns to the wedding to partake in normal wedding events. What a day!!!


Happy Anniversary Andy!


Thanks for making the last 6 years of my life more memorable & absolutely unforgettable!!

18 Month Photo Shoot....

Last week our favorite photographer Bree came out and took photos of the girls. Emily was mad before we even started and wouldn't crack a smile for the entire 2 hours. Ellery smiled a little. I still love the pictures even without those big cheesy grins. I am still so impressed with the way that Bree can capture the girls personalities and little moments in time. Hope you enjoy!
