Happy Halloween!

Ella's boyfriend Hudson came over for a Halloween visit. He looked so cute dressed up as a giraffe.

The Chicken and the Egg

Strike a pose Ella!

No Ella don't take her hat off!

Thanks Sean and Moo for the special treat!

Pooped after her first Halloween!

Ella: Halloween is the best!

Juliette: Wake me up next year!

Counting up the loot!

Rockets heh... Juju can have those!

That's my girl! Next year we'll have to show you how to stay away from the Smarties!

Hallow's Eve Eve

On Saturday night the girls were getting geared up for their first Halloween together.

Our neighbour Miriam bought us a couple of mini pumpkins that we were able to carve out much to Daddy's surprise.

Stay tuned for some costume and trick or treating pictures after we go out tonight...

On Wednesday night Grandpa Rob came over to babysit while we were out at parenting group. He brought us over ham, scalloped potatoes and an apple pie for dessert. Thanks Grandpa!

Mommy's little girl.

Holding hands!

Ella is mastering saying her body parts these days. Here she's saying, you guessed it, "chee..eek" at Juju's expense.

Hard to believe that Juliette will be two months on Tuesday.

Big Shoes

Happy Baby

Juliette is smiling lots these days. It's adorable!

Home from Work

The four of us agree that the highlight of the day is when Dad gets home from work.

Shoes!

Ella continues her obsession with shoes. She is seen here wearing her mom's running shoes.

Matching

For some reason, when they wear something that is matching they seem even cuter!

Our little reader.

Oshkosh girl!

Sisterly love.

Smiling Juliette!

Here's a smiley Juliette! Just to make sure the spotlight isn't completely taken off her, Ella decides to roll a chair across the room during the video taping.

Dancing Ella

Ella clearly gets her dance moves from her dad.

A quick Hi

Monkey

Ella enjoys looking at and listening to the monkey on her little computer. She also likes to say "Uncle" these days... sometimes she says it just out of nowhere.

"Uncle"

Ella was very proud to show off some of her new words to her uncle. She can now say "uncle"! We had a good visit together and of course Ella took her uncle to the park to show off her moves.

Here's Ella showing Juliette what the stacking rings are really for. Ella seems to think they are bracelets and loves to wear them around her arms. The other night she was putting them on Juliette's arms.

A snuggle from her big sister.

Juliette has started to smile and it is so sweet when she does. The tricky part is catching it on camera... maybe next week??

R & R

The other day Ali was in the other room while Ella was playing in the living room. She came to check on Ella to find her relaxing on the couch and just staring out the window. She seemed so proud of herself for getting up there and leaning against the pillows... it was very cute!

Thanksgiving Dinner

Last Monday we had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner at Uncle Mo and Aunt Lynne's. Ella really enjoyed playing the piano with her grandpa.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Cookie

Arrowroot cookies are one of Ella's favourite treats. She can say "cookie" and reminds us quite a bit of the Cookie Monster.

Can I hold the baby?

Ella loves to "hold" Juliette. We let her do this under very close supervision. She often sits on the floor and puts her arms out and says "baby".

One month appointment

Juliette had her one month check-up at the doctor this week. She continues to be a very healthy baby. At her appointment she weighed in at 10 lbs 12 oz (90th percentile) and measured 22 " long (75th percentile). Since she is definitely not a skinny baby the doctor told us there is no need to wake her up to feed her every 3-4hrs. He said if she is sleeping to just let her sleep. The other night she slept for 9 hrs straight- thank-you Juliette!

Ella is very proud of her age.

Those of you who have been to our house and have eaten from this tray, we apologize, it is sometimes hard to keep Ella occupied on a rainy day

One month old!

Our little Juju Bear "turned" one month old yesterday!

One month old means the OK from the doctor to go running again so we headed down to the Fort to Fort trail for a little run. It was great to get out running again as a family.

Now if we could just get them both smiling at the same time!
