Having 2 kids is a trip, and a wonderful one. One of the most common questions I get is what does Elsie think of the baby? Well, here are some photos/stories to illustrate their relationship.
WHenever Cora is in tummy time, Elsie will lay on her tummy next to her and talk to her. Earlier this month, I ran to grab the camera when I caught her doing this but she got up and left saying "noooo" as soon as she saw me with the camera. So I went ahead and just took some pictures of Cora instead.
Once Elsie noticed that I was ignoring her and focusing my attention on Cora, this toy bottle came flying over my shoulder, out of the hand of Elsie.
Elsie does spontaneously throw things at times but it has happened 10 too many times where she throws things right at Cors for it to be an accident. Grandma would still say otherwise. Cora often just goes with the flow though.
I was able to convince Elsie to lay down and talk to Cora again....
After I moved Cora and left the area, Elsie followed with the same blanket, trying to get me to take pictures of her in tummy time, pretty cute.
Then she picked up the blanket in oder to cover up Cora...

A couple weeks ago, we had another set of siblings over - the Dietenbergers! Here are some pictures of the 4 of them together.
And last week, I really wanted to get a picture of the two girls together in order to give to Grandma for her birthday. I had to take many pictures in order to get one where they were both somewhat looking at the camera but finally got this one...
Here are a few ofthe many outtakes....
The following picture is a great illustration of some of my days with both girls... Elsie is always slamoring for attention and begging to be held when I am with Cora or trying to do something without her in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Cora is usually chill and calm as a cucumber (as long as she doesn't want to eat or get to sleep).
Elsie was very proud of "holding" Cora this day. In fact, the reason she was upset in the above photo is that I wanted to take some pictures of the two of them laying by each other and Elsie just wanted to keep sitting by Cora.
THis is Elsie trying to make Cora smile.... I had just tickled Cora's cheek and Elsie is in a phase where she imitates everything I do!
This is the face Elsie makes when she wants to make people laugh!
We are very blessed with these 2 beautiful girls!
Loved the photos especially the ones with the 4 kiddos. They turned out pretty good considering the alternative. Those are some pretty cute girls they must have a pretty awesome aunt on the mothers side.
