wassup b?

just having a little dinner. and sweet fake 'program laugh'.

big birthday week!!

harper had a big birthday week! she got her first bike. and she is ALMOST tall enough to reach the pedals.

we had a really fun birthday party at our house with about 10 of harper's friends and lots of family. i'll post some of those pics when i get some good ones. she loved the cupcakes!

just taking her little people out for a sunday stroll in her new car. thanks tom, mrs kelly and mr aaron!

every birthday girl needs a tiara! thank michelle, abby and hailey!


In other news, this little bean is finally not screaming bloody murder when we give him a bath.

we are really hoping this weather will finally turn into spring so that we can get back to the park!

happy happy 2nd birthday lil girl!

i can't believe my little harper is 2 today. wow. here are the things this sweet thang is doing at 2 years old!
-favorite foods: hard boiled eggs, hummus, pasta, grape, pears, cereal w/ milk, bagel w/ cream cheese, yogurt
-favorite things: balloons, elmo, mr. potato head, letters, your friends
-favorite things to do: SINGING! that is the top of the list (frere jacques, abcd's, tinkle tinkle, wheels on the bus and row row row your boat), playing follow the leader, swinging, playing 'night night' and making all your stuffed animals go to sleep
-our favorite things you say: 'hold you', 'i u' for i love you, somehow you are still saying 'mo-ney' for more, 'bless you harper' when you sneeze
we are continually amazed by you. you are beautiful, independent, silly, smart and a real picture of God's goodness. thank you for filling our home with songs and laughter. we love you so much monkey!

it all makes sense...

we grow hair.

so i have been asked over and over again about huck's hair. all i can say is...it's what we do in the ott house. we grow hair. here is proof. huck and harper look kind of like twins really. right when he was born, i said to david...i had harper's twin 2 years later!

here is huck on the left and harper on the right.

happy 2 weeks to b hut.

happy 2 weeks to huck! this is what happens when we try to do tummy time. sleeping. and when he is supposed to be eating...he is doing this. sleeping. but i'm NOT complaining.

harper loves to take pictues of huck with her phone. it's funny to think of her never knowing life without cell phones and computers and her main way to take pictures to be from a cell phone. a beauty and the beast pink one at that. :-) anyway, she was just sitting next to huck's seat saying 'picture' as she snapped away some serious pics of 'b hut' and she refers to him. sometimes he is baby. sometimes he is hut. but normally it is b hut. so cute. not sure when we will get that letter K, but until then, b hut it is!
