Starving Children

I have this bad tendency of starving my children. Well, more like just Ella. Augustine could care less if he eats. Ella on the other hand, seems to be on the brink of death every time I make dinner...

Cousins

We went up to my in-laws' cabin 2 weekends in a row. The first weekend was for Andrew's birthday. The second was to spend the 4th of July with all of Andrew's family and their kids. Both weekends were full of 4th of July celebrations and trips to the creek. All of the little cousins had some great bonding time; in particular the "older" ones (Jett, Augustine, and Henly). We even made them all pose to take photos to track them growing up together and for mementos when they get older.

Jett 4, Augustine 2.5, Henly 2.5, Ella 9 months, Brody 3 months

These photos remind me of the photos my mom used to show me of her with her sister and cousins when she was a kid. It will be fun to see them grow and to see how many more we add to the clan :)

Little Ella Bella Turns 9 Months

I was originally going to have my next post be about our trip to the cabin over the weekend. However, little Ella is 9 months old today so I decided to just to a little post on her. 

It's been interesting having a baby like Ella. Augustine was my touchy/cranky baby that wasn't much fun until he was about 6 months old. But Ella has always been so sweet and easy going, with little twist of ambition. 

She's ambitious. (bolting through wet sand to get to her favorite thing: water)

She's my Mini-Me

She's sweet.

She loves her Daddy :)

She will laugh at Augustine more than anyone else. Hands down.

She's our baby girl!
