Katherine Marie Conley

Katherine Marie Conley entered this world on February 5th. 2014 at 12:45pm.  She was 7lbs 14ozs and 20.5 inches long. She is perfect in every way and Elliott is very excited to have another cousin! Congratulations to my sister and her husband! 

Below are a few pictures of our trip to Des Moines to meet Miss Katherine

22 Months

Elliott's comprehension has grown out of this world in the last two months.  He is now starting to put two words together.  You'll never believe it, but his first combination was "yellow ball."  His favorite is "Mommy eat" or "Daddy eat," which he says while pointing to our seats at the table.  He can identify the colors blue, purple, yellow, red, and sometimes green.  Cars is still by far his favorite movie.  I swear he dreams about it because he will sometimes ask for it the second he wakes up. 

Conversations:

Dad - Elliott, we don't climb out of the tub. Do you know why?

Elliott - Why?

Mom - How was your day, Elliott?

Elliott - Good.

Mom - It was?

Elliott - Yeah.

Mom - What did you do?

Elliott - Ball!

Winter Storm 2014

We had our first major snowfall this winter (13 inches over 48 hours) and Elliott could not wait to get outside.  He bundled up with Dad as soon as he got home from Monique’s and ventured out into the white wilderness.  It took him a while to figure out what exactly he was supposed to do in the snow, but once he did he had a blast and did not want to come inside.

Once we finally drug him inside Dad made some hot chocolate
