Last Saturday, my cousin Jackie and her family came out to spend the day with us. The day turned out to be nicer than expected and we had a great time. It was so good to see them! It's been a long time since Jackie and I got to see each other - how exciting to be only a couple of hours' drive away now! Unfortunately, I forgot our camera, but you can see some pictures of our day on Jackie's blog. The only ones I have are of bath time with Elijah and Lily - aren't they cute?

Jackie also posted some pictures of the beautiful sweater and hat that she made for our baby girl - I love them!
Elijah is doing well. He was on a bad trend of getting up extra early and then taking a shorter nap (no good for anyone!) and generally having a hard time because he was always tired. He finally seems to be getting as much sleep as he needs most days (except Sunday, of course) and that helps a lot with his frustration level and we have had a lot fewer tantrums when he sleeps well. He is building all the time and still reading a lot, although he seems to need to move around more while we're reading - sometimes he's just crawling/walking/climbing around near me, but he also has been doing a lot of climbing on me, which is not so fun with a huge belly. Poor little sister is already taking her lumps! Elijah has picked up his colors really quickly in the past couple of weeks and now gets them right almost all the time (brown is still hard). He's also developed the interesting habit of saying, "OK!" both in the right context and when he really doesn't want to do something. It's funny to me that he uses the same word for such opposite meanings!
Here is a random collection of video clips that didn't really go with anything else, but are still funny:
Logan thinks "okay" means "please."
