Birthday Girl

I am a little behind in posting but Riley's birthday was last Monday! Can't believe our little girl is already 1! We didn't do anything too big since we are having a joint birthday party for the girls next month, but we did sing to her and gave her her a cupcake. She loved the icing! And Ella Kate loved singing happy birthday to her baby sister. MeMe and YaYa came over to help us celebrate.

The week went downhill from there. At Riley's one year check up, we found out she had a double ear infection. We had a rough week, we were in and out of the doctor's office because the antibiotics were not working. So two different antibiotics and two shots of roseffin later and her ears are still not clear. But at least the shots seemed to help with the fever. And she is teething at the same time, she has 5 teeth up top one of which is a molar that just popped through. Poor Baby! And we are headed to the ENT tomorrow,pretty sure tubes are right around the corner.

We saw her Cleft Team this past Monday for her annual check up. Everything went well, but they did check her ears and said they were pitful and they thought she would need tubes ASAP. Ella Kate came with us to the appt becuase she was not feeling well so I did not want to send her to school. She was still not feeling well the next day so she came to work with me, she was so good for her Mama. MeMe took her to the doctor later that day and turns out she now has an ear infection and bronchitis. My poor girls! Scott and I are pretty worn out too! She is on an antibiotic and seems to be feeling better so she went to school yesterday!

Oh and I forgot to mention that Riley is starting to walk!!!! She started taking about 4-5 steps at a time over the weekend. It is the cutest thing ever and she just gets so tickled with herself. She is pretty brave so you have to watch her like a hawk because she takes a few steps and then comes tumbling down!

Here are some pics of Riley and her cupcake-





And this is little Riley snoozing mid breakfast, so funny!



And just a cute pic of the girls-

Holly Jolly Christmas

We have been soooo busy, so i am just now getting to recap all of our Christmas Festivities on the blog. We had a wonderful holiday with all of our family and friends and Santa was so good to us all! The girls loved all of their toys and Ella Kate loved seeing all of the Christmas lights on all of the houses. She was so sad when the tree and all of the lights had to come down, but I told her not to worry, they would all be back next year!

Here are tons of pics from Christmas Eve over at Jen and Kevins and then Christmas Day at our house-




















And over the holidays, EK went to the movies for the first time ever! We met up with her best friend Emery and her parents and saw "The Princess and the Frog." It was such a cute movie and the girls loved it! They were dancing in the aisles! They were pretty good for their first movie experience, they did get a little loud at times but no one seemed to mind. They had a blast together! Here are some pics-
