Becoming Big Girls










The girls are continuing to grow into "little people" - it's all happening way too fast. We have a picture of Ella's "keep out of my room" sign that she made for us. She has also seemed to love the potty this week and went to school wearing underwear today. Fingers crossed, the once very reluctant girl will be potty trained soon (like all good moms, I got tired of waiting and coaxing her, so she was forced to try one day and we haven't looked back). Ella is like Mommy, she needs a push here and there once in a while. Adele is a mover and continues to be our "zen baby". Unfortunately, both girls were sick for most of February. Ella has had some weird sick patterns lately involving dark circles under the eyes, pale complexion, dizziness, light sensitivity and vomiting. We will be requesting a referral for a GI at Sick Kids. We suspect stomach migraines. She is healthy otherwise and rebounds quickly but the weird mystery that can be Ella's health is back (we thought the diet answered all of problems). Quite scary and sad. Poor Adele has had a cold for weeks and an eye infection that won't go away.
Ella has a new haircut as you can see that involves bangs. She is no longer a baby. She's started using a regular cup too. Adele enjoys solids. She wants to crawl but hasn't figured it out yet. She refuses to sit for too long as she'd rather be rolling around.
Adele loves Ella most of all is seems as she finds her big sister hilarious and wants to be close to her at all times. Ella continues to dote on her little sister and is so caring with her. So sweet to watch the sisters in action.
