i can not get over how vastly different all my kids are. it's nuts! ellie is growing and changing so much over the last few months. her vocab is exploding. i am often stunned by the new words and so blessed to be home to hear them
for lunch today she finished her toast and said "mom, more toast and honey please"
i was like hu???
last night at supper she says to chris "me try some please" to chris's salad.
i love how i can find her playing, QUIETLY, alone most of the time, or humming away a tune she made up. ellie loves to help me, esp with johana. she loves bathing jo, she gets the tub out, the towel and stands beside me and washes jo, talking to her the whole time
she often reminds me of how i was as a little girl, but when i see her with jo i am reminded of my sister. i think ellie looks like cry and johana looks like me. i get flash backs and remind myself how fast these days are going by
im blessed and grateful, even on the frustrating days, that i chose to stay home
johana is 11 wks old! she is still a very easy baby, even when she's being difficult to sleep, she's a BREEZE compared to the other 2. haha
i have her on a great routine. she is almost sleep trained. i slacked off a bit last few wks and i think jo hit a sleep regression, so im stepping up the routine and tweaking the sleep training. its well worth the time, but its hard to make the time when i have 2 others to care for
as i hold her and carry and rock her, i whisper in her ear how much she is loved, so wanted, so enjoyed, and how much i am grateful that we have her in our family. as cray cray it can get around here, as little time i have left, i would not change a thing. such love we have for this girl!
here she is. such a smiley thing
