Our girls!

I guess when you have children it is impossible not to compare them, no matter how hard you try, and it's impossible not to notice how different Sophia and Elizabeth look.  There is some debate about Ellie's eye color, but they are definitely not going to be blue like Sophia's.  Also, Ellie's hair and skin are much darker than Sophia's.  Both girls are beauties, just different.  I just can't wait to see how they will change and grow over the years.  

Days have been busy these days, and I can't help but think, "Why did I think it was so hard when I had Sophia, she was so good, and I didn't have a toddler to chase after?!"  But I guess it's all about perspective, and of course Sophia was the first, all was new and I was very worried about her and had no clue what to expect.  Ellie is lucky enough to be the second child, and I am a bit more relaxed, somewhat out of experience, but also out of necessity.  Ellie cries quite a bit and may have some colic, so if I were as worried and upset every time Ellie cried as I were with Sophia, I would probably be a mess at this point!  Poor little girl, cries and spits up TONS!  The doctor says as long as she is gaining weight, there is no worry and she will grow out of it.  When her tummy isn't upset, Ellie is such a quiet, happy girl.  She has started smiling now, and really looks into your eyes and grins from ear to ear.  What a sweet, perfect smile she has!!

Little Ellie, sneaking a smile!

  Easter Day.
Having so much fun putting them in matching outfits!
