A needed update

Eli and Ella are both growing like crazy. They love each other more every day. We are definitely seeing some of the brother/sister fighting now that Ella can stand up for herself and has opinions. They are doing pretty well though. Our favorite time of day is when Eli and Ella see each other for the first time in the morning. No matter if they are happy or cranky they just can't help but smile at each other. It's great. Here are some pics to show how big they are getting!

Our cute kids

Life has been great! Eli loves his little sister. It has been a much smoother transition than we ever could have hoped for with the help of family of course. We have been busy with Christmas and are now settling into our more normal life with our new addition. Ella is slowly adjusting to being out of the womb. She is really starting to smile and talk which has been exciting. Eli has really grown up since Ella has been born. He realizes he isn't the baby anymore. He is so helpful and seems to like being a big brother. Whenever she accidentally touches him, he gets so excited thinking she is playing with him. He always wants her to do everything with him. We are loving having two kids! We can't wait for the summer so we can do more active stuff as a family.
