Busy, busy

We've been busy these last few weeks. Mark and Ella got a cold and just as they were getting over that, they caught a stomach bug. Not so bad for them, but it must do something crazy in adults because I caught it and it was awful! Ella is back to her old self, but Mark isn't quite there yet. Poor guy. His appetite hasn't really returned, but hopefully this week.

They had their 15 month checkup last week, too. Ella was 50% on everything (as usual - 22 pounds and 30.5") and Mark was 50% for weight (24 lbs) and 75-90% for height (32.5") and head.

On a fun note, we got some toys for the backyard and moved our tree swing back there and it has been lots of fun! And I hope this video shows up, but Mark had the giggles one day and it was too funny. I'm only nodding my head and making a noise, but he lost it.

Happy Halloween!!

Mark and Ella had a fun Halloween. Our neighbors had a hay ride and then they trick or treated at a few neighbors's homes. They really had no idea what was going on, but they loved playing outside and Ella was particularly amused by the bucket of candy. Mark was completely on the go and did not stop moving until he went to bed.

A few days before we went to a patch to pick out our pumpkin with Michelle and AJ, so she snapped this pic of the 3 of us. It was impossible to get one without Mark's thumb in his mouth since that is its permanent position now.
