A BIG Year -- Goodbye 2011!

Soooooo BIG

5 New Years came and went while we impatiently waited for Miss E to join our family.  6 was the charm!

Random moments...

I apologize.  I haven't been so great about blogging lately.  I have had less time and less big moments and many more small ones that I should be recording (and regretting I am not getting them down somewhere).  Eliza has turned into a little person.  I don't know that I recognized  this as a moment in time with Jackson, I think it kind of crept up on us slowly -- but with Eliza it happened in a 24 hour window when Robert and I both realized - she is a tiny person.  It probably all relates to her cognitive abilities and not only reacting but understanding the world around her.  It makes everything so much more fun.

Eliza and Jackson are also interacting in a whole new way.  Playing.  Laughing.  Engaging each other.  They are minutes away from the joke being on us.  I see it coming.

J + E

These pictures are the gift of a very generous and patient friend who spent her time playing & photographing Jackson and Eliza.  She is a wonderful photographer and took some beautiful shots of the kids despite the challenging light, height difference, and cookie sugar rush.  Thanks, M.

Don't take your eyes off this girl or you may find her climbing into a chair not quite her size...
