Good Things To Remember

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Ellie at 2 Months

At Ellie's 2 month Dr appt she weighed a whopping 11 lbs 2ounces (50%), was 24 inches long (95%), and her head was 15.1 inches (35%). She is growing, growing, growing!! My newborn is definitely not a newborn anymore. With Kailee we, well Ryan, was really stingy with how much she ate, but with this little one, she eats, and eats, and eats! On Dec 8th she started to sleep through the night. We now feed her around 11pm and she will sleep until 6 or 7am!! Wahoo!! There was even one night where we all slept though the night (Kailee in her bed and Ellie in hers) and Ryan ended up sleeping through his alarm! He woke up at 7am when he was supposed to be at work!! I guess we all slept REALLY good! Oh how nice it is to get more sleep!

Ellie was also blessed on her 2 month birthday! She was blessed by her daddy and her uncles Sean, John, and great-uncle Brian stood in the circle along with the Bishopric. What a great 2 month birthday!

Kailee at 18 Months

Kailee isn't our little baby anymore! She sure is trying to grow up! Some of her favorite things right now are: singing with me, cuddling with dad, watching Enchanted, jumping and landing on her bottom, loving her baby sister, helping dad with his projects, playing hide and seek, throwing things in the 'garbeege' and coloring- especially on herself and our walls! She is getting very good at talking, even in sentences and she occasionally asks to go potty on the potty. She now weighs 23lbs (40%), is 33.5 inches tall (95%) and her head is 19 inches (80%- Ryan says she has a Jamison head!).

Ellie at 1 Month

Ellie is beginning to recognize her family! She is starting to look around and smile whenever she hears us talking! She is still a really good baby and is pretty content unless she's hungry.
