Elizabeth was sick

This has been a very hard week for me. This is the first time since I have become a mother to two that I have been sick, plus Elizabeth was sick as well. She has been really crabby and extreamly needy and it is really hard when I have a 3 month old who needs me to hold him. My patience has really been tested this week but at the same time it is really rewarding to be there for my daughter and knowing I am providing her the comfort she needs. The thing is she doesn't want even Porter to hold her, its only her momma she wants. Poor girl has been miserable and she was even moodier since we were stuck inside all week so she woulden't spread her germs. Tonight I could tell a big diffference in her and she was just being so sweet and back to herself. Elizabeth loves flowers. . . (very cute except she picks all the ones growing in our backyard) Porter brought flowers home for Elizabeth to help her feel better. . . .bonding with her brother since she had no friends this week. . . .

Elizabeth ,Reed and I stayed in comfy cloths all week long. . . .
Notice the E on her shirt that I made for her and sewed on. It is her favorite shirt and I hve to get stains out each time I wash it. The letter E is the only letter she knows but she is so proud to point to it and say E.
We spent the week coloring. . . her new obsession, she could color for hours. . . .
And since she had no friends this week ( we miss you bryson) her baby doll became her constant companion. She ate breakfast with her baby. . . . She took baths with her baby. . .
She even slept with her baby but it wasn't worth the picture to possibly wake her. I am so glad she is feeling better, my sweet Elizabeth. Here is a video of her and her colors. . .she is so smart, she now can also count to 13 and knows most shapes. Her colors she has known since 17 months.

Karla, I think our girls would get along well. Elizabeth sounds just as sweet and sassy as my Jenna! Maybe we could get together for a play date, or our new favorite thing to do (when it's not 90+ degrees out) is have a picnic lunch. Oh, and Adam and Reed can be friends too. :)
