My poor little Ellie is having a rough time - she spent a great deal of last night screaming her brains out. Poor Bob - at one point last night I put her in the swing and crawled into bed next to Bob - I passed the torch without even telling him. The hard part with Ellie is that when she cries there is nothing we can really do to comfort her. Last night I was sitting there rocking her and thinking that I could probably put her down and she would cry as much so what was the point. Obviously, feeling us close to her and having us talk to her and kiss her is important even as she cries but at 3 a.m. it is hard to remember that. Ellie's diaper rash is also still really bad - awful, in fact and it breaks my heart to change her because it hurts her so much. We are going to change her formula to see if we can eliminate some of the milk and make her feel better. That being said - we adore Ellie. She can be so sweet and lovable and her smile makes my heart swell. She fits in with us perfectly and we could not love her more if she actually was Lizzie's twin.
Our sweet Ellie!
We had just changed Ellie's diaper sending her into convulsions of crying and wailing and at one point she just looked up at Bob and I and smiled - it was like she finally noticed we were there and was happy again. I, of course, grabbed the camera and started shooting away. I also love how she holds her hands like she is flexing her muscles - Peter did that until he was about 6 months old and occasionally he still sleeps that way!
I went to get Lizzie out of her car seat and this is what I found - I thought it was cute that she rode all the way home from Manchester like that without a peep! She is so sweet!
The problem could have been that Daddy put her hat on backwards to begin with!
Annie's favorite thing in the entire world is the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. This is her and Molly dancing to the song together.
I came home to find Lizzie with a big fat bow on her head. Apparently Auntie Meg and Molly played hairdresser today while Molly was home sick from school and Lizzie was the recipient of some serious style! She looked adorable and she certainly has the hair for it.
Big stretch!
Elizabeth - watch out world!
Everyone knows how much I love black and white pictures and this picture gave me chills. Our girls are so beautiful and I love the look on Annie's face - like a little angel! Notice that they both have bows in their hair!
Molly girl stayed home from school today because of a tummy ache. We thought she might be faking to get to spend time with Auntie Meg but by 5 p.m. she had a fever and was falling asleep on the couch. Here she is curled up with her Grammy Blankie - she was also weepy for missing her Papa tonight - she wanted me to sing Turah Lurah and I couldn't remember all the words! UGGGG!
And five minutes later she was sound asleep on the couch curled around her Grammy blankie. My poor girl went to bed at 5:30 with no supper or anything. Let's hope she feels better for school tomorrow! The positive was that my husband beamed when he carried her up the stairs to bed - he doesn't get to do things like that with her very often because she is so old - he loved it!
Yes, in one moment of peace I did stick a bow in Ellie's hair and take pictures - Annie really wanted her to have a bow too. The peace only lasted a few minutes and then we were back to screaming. Ellie is sleeping beside me right now because she got herself all tired out.
Sweet baby Ellie!Check out my links to other blogs on the left hand side - Papa now has a blog and he updates it almost everyday with pictures! I must admit that he and my Mom are pretty proficient bloggers and I love the pictures of them chillaxing!
GNM-ILY!
