I'm calling out Gage and Ellison!

[laurski81]

bantyrooster let's see and hear all about your adorable kiddos!

[bantyrooster]

Yay! We will start with Gage. He is such a fun little guy. He loves being a brother, we got very lucky with that. He likes to feed his cows, play firefighter, soccer, and being outside. Tinypic isnt working on my phone so your stuck with just computer pics.







Then Ms. Ellison. She was three months old yesterday. She is such a happy baby! I think it is a combo of her being #2 and I don't try to find any sort of schedule with her. And the whole no reflux or constant infections.

[bantyrooster]

Sorry if they look huge on the computer. My phone makes then look normal size.

[aimeefarrahfowler]

I'm on a PC and the pictures look fine!

What cuties! You said Gage likes to feed his cows... do you actually have cows? Alex would die of happiness to feed a cow.

I know how hard it can be with a newborn and a toddler, so hang in there. Things get a lot easier (well, until baby is mobile!).

What is your favorite part of having two kids? Most challenging?

[bantyrooster]

We do at grandma and grandpa's! It is an hour away. H and I both grew up showing calves. So he drives the tractor and helps do all sorts of farm things. He even watched lots of babies be born Saturday. He will for sure show when he is older.

I love how much Gage loves her and is always worried about if she is happy. Most challenging is finding a new balance in everyday outings. I think as it warms up it will be easier. With snow and -0 temps it has been hard.

I guess that could of been a thing most find interesting about us. Is our secret farm life. I sold a bull to pay for our honeymoon .

Ellison how easy going and opposite of gage as a baby. Gage how much he catches on to things. He is very detail oriented.

[bliz1712]

They are both cute, I love his curls!

What is Gage's favorite food?

What's a new thing Ellison has learned lately?

[somethingcleverer]

They are adorable! I love Gage's curls! What are you most excited to do with the kids this year?

[bantyrooster]

bliz1712 toast is his favorite food. He loves hid toast. Ellison has learned to "talk" it is so cute. She jabbers away to herself.
somethingcleverer I am excited for summer in general. Just to have no expectations for anything and enjoy outside.

[origamimommy]

[laurski81]

I hope so! H is so curly!! Her hair curls in the back when its wet. He was born with an afro and I was bald. I am hoping her hair comes in sooner than Gages.

[xanthepants]

bantyrooster, Those curls! He is such a cutie! Another little blondie from 2 dark haired parents. You are from NE right? Where is the farm? I grew up in Papillion, lived in Omaha and Lincoln and my sister is in North Platte so I'm around those parts now and then.

[bantyrooster]

xanthepants I was blond til about 5 so we will see what they do! We live in Elkhorn and our parents are both in Columbus. The farm is just east of Platte center, about 10 milea north of Columbus. If you ever visit we need to hook up!

[USCgirl]

bantyrooster, they are both adorable! He looks like such a sweet little guy and your Ellison is just a doll! I love seeing happy kiddos. Thanks for sharing with us.

[nursedesi]

So adorable! Can't wait to see them this summer!

[roo1582]

They are both so adorable! And I love Gage's curls

[paddyb]

I absolutely adore Gage's curls. Your children are so cute! I really like the name Ellison, how did you pick it?

[babywinks]

Adorable. Love the one of Gage driving a combine? Tractor? And Ellison's 3 month photo.

Thanks! We found it on name berry. It showed up on the "if you like that name you may like ---- ". It just stuck and we kept comparing other names to it. Different but not weird (hopefully).

Tractor. He bullies his dad, uncles and grandpa into rides all the time. He plants, harvests, disks, moves hay bales, just burns fuel for the fun of it.

I'm sorry I'm so late to this! They are so sweet. Gage's curls are to die for and Ellison just seems like the happiest baby around! What's something you are looking forward to doing with each of them when they're older?

[mrsplaydoh]

Adorable!!!

High school years. Friday night after they get home and staying up talking in the kitchen (like we did at my house). To watch their activities.
