Sunny days

Just in the past month Ella has really started to take a huge interest in Drew. Here are a few snapshots of her love for him...

She always wants to know where he is when she gets out of bed. He gets the best hugs and kisses from her even though I beg for them all the time.

When we have our family dance party before bed she has makes sure he has a dance partner.

She loves to help me get him up from his naps. As she walks in she will say "Hey sweet boy" or "Hey buddy". He will strain his neck to find her and when he does flashes her the biggest smiles anyone gets.

We have a filebox full of pictures of friends that we use after dinner when we pray for people and one morning Ella had the pictures scattered all over the kitchen floor and was taking different ones over to Drew and telling him who was in each picture and then holding his hands and pretending to pray for them. I about cried.
Today in the car he was crying and I heard her say "you ok Drew-drew? Why so sad, why crying? It's ok." Of course he stopped crying. It was precious.

I only hope this love between them continues.

Drew has just started holding his own bottle but Ella loves to be the big sister and help him out when he can't quite seem to find his mouth. She is such a sweet little helper.

Ella loves to play wherever Drew is even if that means squeezing on his blanket.

One of Ella's favorite birthday gifts--a cow. Who knew? Thanks Townsleys!

She loves to give out hugs even though Drew resists at times. Also notice how big my boy is! He's huge--a whopping 19lbs!

The last couple of days have been beautiful so we have spent hours playing outside at different parks. Oh I can't wait for spring to arrive.

Cheese!

First time on a big swing and she loved it!

Henry and Lila met us at the park. There is nothing like a sunny day, good friends and happy kids.
