When Jacob was first born, my good friend had just had her second baby. So she and I had a newborn together, but she also had a toddler. I remember what a serious adjustment it was to have a human depend on you for food and comfort pretty much non-stop. At least that was my experience! So I asked my friend, in all seriousness..."When do YOU eat lunch?" It seemed like almost every day around lunchtime Jacob happened to be sleeping in the sling and I didn't want to move! My friend's reply was, "You eat while you make your toddler's food." How different things are from your first to your second, etc. and etc! That story came to mind as I was making snack the other day for the four and handed it all to them at the back door while I, myself, had an orange :).

| It still blows my mind when I see Ellie feed herself considering what all she went through! |
Happy Easter!

Easter blessings!!!!
Ellie having some fun with her chalk outside.
More presents including bubbles! She's really, really into blowing bubbles now! It's great to see her take a deep breath and blow! Always thinking back to how far she has come!
Maybe too much partying?? The day after her birthday she woke up with that "look" she's had 4 or 5 times now. "Floppy" as we call it. Straight to the couch, back to sleep. Then she'd want a drink. Then back to sleep. Then she woke up and threw up her water which is also typical. Then she perked up and was ravenously hungry at 11:00 a.m. At least she's predictable if anything! But it's still always a little scary/nerve wracking when she does it. So I figured if I documented each one it would help me keep track. She is so sweet when she cracks her eyes open.
The girls both happened to have been given Minnie Mouse pajamas! Soooo cute!!!!
