Lotsa Ellison Kate

This Girl.  

She's amazing.



Just look at those fingers.


And toes.


She has the most angelic sleeping face


She is adored by all in our family


Looks super cute with a paci that takes up half of her face


Forces me to eat most of my meals with her on my lap in this fashion.  Worth it.   


Is a good sleeper and can crash anywhere despite the chaos her big sister causes 


Loves to be snuggled


The cutest little 2 month old I've ever seen


Has the cutest little side yawns


My word do I adore her.  Miss Ellie Kate is a GOOD baby.  She is fun to have around, sleeps easily, eats good, doesn't fuss for no reason.  She has transitioned into our family with few bumps in the road.  It's hard to imagine life without her now.  She really is a gem.

A Little Bit of Everything

This post is disjointed, chaotic, and is a bit of a mess.  Kind of like our life lately.  

But it is all about my girls and how we are filling our days lately.  Life with two littles is full- in every manner of the word.  Full of life, exhaustion, laughter, squeals of joy, sighs, temper tantrums, kisses, and snuggles.  I love it. 

Rocking her tutu in the grocery cart car.  She YELLS "Beep Beep!" as we go through the aisles, and as we pass by an unsuspecting fellow shopper, she YELLS "Hey, you!"


We LOVE our neighborhood park which is just a few blocks away.  Many afternoons I find myself strapping the girls into the stroller to go burn off some energy.




We sometimes go to a gymnastics gym that has an open gym for toddlers on Friday mornings and Brennan loves it there.  Especially this long trampoline.  Back and forth.  and Back and forth.  And back and forth...




I catch her reading in every corner of the house


She is big into labeling these days- in this picture she is saying "Brennan."  She had just pointed out Mommy, Sister, and Sophie


I had no reason to worry about new baby jealousy, acting out, or being angry at the baby... this girl LOVES her sister.  She stares at her, wakes her up from naps, gets in her face, and squeals with delight when she discovers Ellie in a room she has just entered.  I can't wait until they can actually play together.





I was able to catch some of these sweet early smiles



See the sister love?
