Introducing Ellyana

I have been saving this post for a bit, but we can't keep her from you any longer. We would like you to meet Ellyana. She first hooked up with us in Pinecrest. Whenever Marley was "taking a nap," Ellyana would show up. Much like Marley, she is a firecracker with a lot of life. Ellyana had to spend more time with us at Pinecrest than Marley did, however, she visits less frequently now that we are home. Still, Ella had fun playing dress up with her the day this photo was shot.

Standing Tall

I have been slothful about keeping up to date on our happenings. So here is a little Kate piece. She is crawling, standing, babbling, and smiling a lot. She is very easy going, but is becoming exceptionally curious. She has had 6 teeth for a while now, and we are surprised more have not made their appearance. Most unfortunately for us, she is not sleeping the entire night. She was, but then we went away and she stopped. When we got home, she had figured how to stand up. So now when she wakes in the middle of the night, she gets up and jumps around instead of going back to sleep. All the same, you can see from this picture that she is quite a cutie.
