Nine months, again

Elsie just turned nine months. Here is a photo of her and one of Leon when he turned nine months. She's already pulling her self to standing and ("Army" style) crawling. I think she might even walk before one year. Leon (yes, I know you can't compare your children...but actually you can) was barely sitting up unassisted at nine months and he crawled much later. Elsie is over 95% in everything (head, weight, and height) and Leon too was a big nine month old. Both of their hair started getting curly at this age and Leon's started turning blonde (funny thing, Elsie has new blonde hair too). And we sleep trained both at nine months and Elsie is finally sleeping mostly (amen) through the night.

Two is Plenty

Here's a picture of Leon and Elsie from Easter morning before church. We are blessed beyond measure to have both Leon and Elsie. So blessed that I think (and I think, we think) that two might be just enough. Let's face it, once you go past two, they out number you (and Leon feels like a little army all on his own). Right now we have to buy three seats on an air plane and in a year and a half that will be four. With two of the opposite sex, at some point we will need three separate bedrooms with a fourth one preferred. And honestly with Elsie starting to sleep thru the night I can't imagine going back to no sleep (prob too soon to talk about this since last night was the first night in 11 months that I slept the whole night). But in the end you really can't say never until, well, you physically can confirm never (and I have not crossed that bridge, yet).
