Wow, I can't believe another month has gone by! This month I'm feeling like we might need to do a whole family update: We are all working hard and living life to the fullest! I knew eliza was going to add spunk to our lives she was super crazy and active in utero! Now that she's here not only is she active and very very strong, she also seems to be our little social butterfly (she smiles at everyone).
Ever since she was born our lives have been busy busy busy. Maybe it has something to do with Jeff starting his last year of law school and working at his internship 3 days a week and being in the bishopric and me staying home with the girls during the week and working weekends at the hospital while Jeff watches the girls!
It is incredible that even though she came at such a busy time she has had no trouble keeping up with us at all! In fact I think she is growing up too fast. I'm having a hard time keeping up with her! She doesn't look like a newborn anymore. She loves experiencing new things and she loves going on walks/being outside. She loves playing with her activity center especially the one with the big piano keyboard to kick at the bottom. She has really strong legs and kicks really hard! When I hold her up she likes to lock out her legs and can hold up a good amount of her own weight already (I'm predicting an early walker)
Mila is getting really comfortable around her now, I have to remind her all the time not to hug baby Liza too hard. It is cute to see how in 2 short months they have already formed such a sweet bond. I catch Eliza watching Mila all the time too. Mila wakes up and as soon as we head out of her room she starts looking for baby Liza and whispers "shhh" with her finger in front of her lips because I usually tell her to "shhh, be quiet because Baby Liza is still sleeping."
Mila is 15 months now and has started mimicking our words and actions its fun to hear and see her version of us. She calls elmo "Melmo" and watermelon sounds like "atrmelala" she has learned the word "no" she says it long and drawn out and she likes to point her finger and shake it at the object that is being "naughty". She is getting more brave about waving to strangers but is still pretty shy. She has 6 teeth (4 on top, 2 on bottom.) People always ask how old she is when they see her walking around, they are surprised because she is so petite they say they would have guessed she was younger. Everyone loves her because she is such a cute, sweet, little doll. I love my baby girls.
It wouldn't be a full family update if I didn't include Nixon and Nikita! I must say that they are adjusting to life with babies considerably well. They do miss the one on one attention we used to give them, but they have learned that toddlers can be fun to chase around the house and are an easy target when they have food. Mila loves to tease them with her snacks, she holds her hand out and as soon as they show interest she pulls her hand away and starts running. As she runs away she giggles her head off because she thinks she is so funny.
So I will say this little Ebert fam is doing great! We are busy but the blessings are incredible! It's amazing what Heavenly Father can do when we have faith and turn our lives over to him. I am so grateful for the love and support from all of our family and friends... we love you all!
