A tea party

Lillian got a tea set for Christmas and Lillian and Elijah have been enjoying having tea parties.  Fills my heart with joy when I see them playing together so nicely.  Because, that doesn't always happen.

A good big brother

There is something to be said for having an older child when you have a baby.  The other day I called Elijah and asked him to come see me.  He told me he couldn't.  He needed me to help him.  I walked into the living room and this is what I saw.  He had picked Nora up and moved her so she could play at this little piano.  She was having a great time.  (He needed my help because he didn't know where to put her if he left.)

The teeth have arrived

Nora got her two bottom teeth this week.  It has explained a little bit of her increased crabbiness.   I can tell that she's generally not enjoying this activity in her mouth.  She's biting everything in sight but has had surprisingly little drool. 

This are the things that are considered news when you have little kids.
