Elizabeth

This weekend Elizabeth got to meet her great-grandpa George for the first time.  They hit it off perfectly.

Kisses won’t do it…

Pats won’t do it…

Tickles won’t do it…

But a frustrated Big Sister gets Little Sister smiling every time!

For a kid with no teeth who’s never tasted pork, she seems surprisingly interested in chomping on that pig.

Elizabeth was a bit too little to understand the whole Easter thing, but she sure looked nice in her dress – complete with moccasins from Aunt Mardel!

Remember those shoes that Evelyn declared were tiny?  Well, they fit Elizabeth just fine.

Enjoy it while you can, kiddo – you won’t be tiny for long!  (Elizabeth was already nine pounds at her 2-week checkup – a 16% increase over her starting weight!)

Elizabeth was four days old when this was taken.

Here is a close-up of her snoozing face.

Elizabeth arrived home without a whole lot of fanfare, as her big sister was in the middle of a nap.  But Evelyn was very excited when she woke up, and was eager to play with her baby sister.  Here she is tickling Elizabeth’s feet.

Here are the two sisters on the couch with their cousin and grandparents:

Evelyn is a great big sister, and helps with diapers and burping.  She also makes sure Elizabeth keeps her socks on; this is a very important point for Evelyn.

Before long, Elizabeth got to meet all her family.  Mom and Dad were already kind of old hat, but not in a bad way.

Meeting Grandma Joleen and Grandpa Bruce was pretty nice.

But the best thing was meeting her big sister Evelyn!
