Changes

I can't believe how much my girls change on a daily basis. Ella is constantly cracking me up with her funny comments and actions and Lily is growing so fast and even laughed out loud for the first time yesterday. That was really shocking to me, since Ella didn't really laugh out loud until she was about seven months old. But Lily definitely laughed yesterday, out loud, three times. It was the cutest thing ever. I have been trying ever since to get her to do it again and do you think I can? Absolutely not. I think the only reason she laughed in the first place was to get me to act crazy for the next few months trying to get her to do it again.

Lily is also finally big enough for her exersaucer, which she loves for a few minutes at a time. And, of course, Christmas is coming and Ella is getting sooooo excited. She likes to flip through flyers and point out everything that "Ho Ho" should bring her. She is very excited about the Christmas decorations, including the stockings that she thinks should go on her feet, though I haven't been able to catch that with the camera yet. She liked Christmas last year, but I think this year is even bigger and better for her.

I'm working on translating some of these changes into photos, but since my kiddos don't always cooperate with me, I only have a few for today.
