Ellie will be two in November. Each day that passes she is a little less "baby" and a smidge more "little girl." I love watching her become more independent as she explores her world. She makes me laugh and brings great joy into the lives of her whole family.
Hannah will be one in November - she and Ellie are almost exactly a year apart. She is nearly as big physically as her cousin thanks to her daddy's "tall genes" but still has a cute squishy baby face. Sometimes she wants nothing more than to explore what's around her and other times she wants to be held and snuggled, something I don't mind doing at all!
Ellie lives in North Carolina and Hannah lives in Arizona so they don't see each other often. Fortunately, they both have parents who believe family relationships are important and have been committed to getting together as often as possible which realistically means about once a year or so. Although they have only seen each other twice, I think they know they are related!
Someone once asked me what my favorite age of children was - and I was stumped. I love them all and all for different reasons. I love the wonder and brand-newness that babies bring. They make you smile for no reason - even babies you don't know!
I am thankful for the babies in my life. And for the "little people" and "older people" they eventually grow into!
