Ellie- Bellie is growing up so fast. She is 10 months old already. She has the cutest, chubbiest
apple cheeks ever. She will come up to me have me pick her up, hug me and then make the
lip smacking sound which means she wants a kiss. These last 5 weeks she has been standing on her own. She will be in the middle of the room and up she goes on her feet. Then she will just stand there. She hasn't quite figured out how to move her feet yet. She does hang on to furniture and move a little that way but her mode of transportation is only by
crawling as of today. We love to see her interact, move and play with her brother and sisters. Her little self is starting to appear. She is
growing and it makes me kind of sad to think about my baby getting big enough to walk. I'll get over it soon enough. I just want my children to stay little forever.
Ellie is on the verge of crying in this photo. Often her older brother tends to gently push and softly hit her. She cannot be around Thys for too long before she starts to cry. Infact she usually starts to cry before he touches her. I think it is a reflex now. She just expects him to hurt her in some way and she is trying to tell us he is coming in her direction and we need to do something about it.
Today I saw Ellie looking at Thys without a murmur. Infact she was smiling and having fun until he poked her in the eye! It will get easier with him and his boy-like self at least I hope for Ellie's sake. Thys can be very sweet, mild tempered and a fun play-mate.
