Treasuring the blessings, one by one...

Similarities? Hardly any!

When Gloria hit six months (in February) I decided to put her in the clothes from Ellie's 6 month 'photo shoot' and see if they looked like sisters.
Nope! 
We have two very different girls, both totally precious in their own way. I love it.





10 months!

The stats on our favourite baby girl at 10 months:
Super sweet.
Cuddle-bug. Passed around constantly at church for snuggles.
Goofy.
Not crawling yet! Tries to pull up on everything.
Observant and good-natured.
Loves music and dancing.
Thinks her siblings are the best thing in life!
Wary of people with dark hair, skin or eyes.
Only three teeth!
Speaks one word: "Wow". 
Loves to wrestle.
If she's fussy, it has to be illness or teething.
Favourite foods: peas, french fries, pizza and mango.
Food chucker when not hungry.
Loves kicking her brothers.
Favourite toy: matryoshka dolls.
Dislikes: getting nose wiped, hands wiped, face wiped. Being left alone.
Enjoys: stroller rides, van rides, 'playing' piano, soothers, peekaboo and bath time. 
Finally sleeps through the night. Thank you. :)
Makes life so much sweeter.
Wonderful gift from Jesus!! We love you from head to toe, Glow-bug!!

Well here it is, April, and I'm only just editing February's photos, because that's how life is. And I'm realizing that these pictures are starting to get a little redundant! There are an AWFUL lot of pictures of the same kids...doing the same things...around the same house. 

I suppose that happens when winter is infinitely long.
And one doesn't have a vehicle to use during the day.
And it's too cold to take a baby outside for a walk.
And you have too many kids to bother taking the camera anywhere when you DO actually get out...because the reality is, your hands are already quite full.

So here they are. The moments...albeit similar to every other month...that I managed to treasure on film in the chilly month of February.

Sister cuddles!


New big boy gitch for Micah...with guitars!! (now to potty train him...)

A new book. 
A good messy snack.
Treats from a church friend when the kids were sick.
