I've been meaning to do this post for a while... I saw a fun comparison of Tiana's children and thought I should do one too. In pictures, Elise and Elijah sometimes look so much alike! This one is of Elise (left) and Elijah (right) with Grandma Yonashiro.
Their sleepy smiles, both taken around the same age, about 1 month old. I was so thrilled, I wanted Elise to be a happy baby, and she is now! (For the most part.) Elijah has always been a really happy guy.
I just think these photos show how similar their features are: same nose and eyes...
One day, Elise came running to me: "Elijah stuck!" This is where I found him (to the left) It was such a random place to find him, I ran to get my camera first before rescuing him! (He wasn't hurt, just a little fustrated : ) After Elise saw that he got good attention from doing this, she had to try too. If you've seen this kitchen, it's not that big so I was surprised they fit in it.
Other fun quotes from Elise and anecdotes:
Elise found my cleaning gloves and put them on her feet. She's such a silly goose!
My funny girl doesn't want Mommy and Daddy to hug or kiss. Today she said, "No huddle!" I think that was an accidental cross between 'hug' and 'cuddle'.
When she's especially excited she'll exclaim, "Wow, amazing!"
Today as I went to throw trash she cautioned, "Mommy, be careful."
"Elijah cry, like this: 'ahhh!'" My little tattletale and actress likes to act out or make sounds to tell her story.
"I love you too much!" instead of "so much" every single time.Elise has a strong maternal instinct. If I cry while watching a movie or if I cough, she'll ask: "Mommy (or Jackie) you okay?"
Singing the chorus to 'I am a child of God': "Lead me, walky, help me fine a way!" 
At the Sears' Portrait Studio, the photographer tried to make her laugh, "Does mommy or daddy have stinky feet? " We now have a cute photo of her sweetly smiling when she responded, "No, Elijah stinky feet!"
"I want teddy bears (her vitamins)!" I tell her she can one maybe two. I take my time and she says, "I want maybe two!"

Fabulous pictures! I thought the first two were of the same baby at the same time! They really do look alot alike. Way more then Ches and Ellie. Love the pics. I especially love the ones where they are in the kitchen. How did they fit in there???
Those are great anecdotes!!! Those are the things you will really want to look back on and remember. So funny when they got stuck in the kitchen. BTW - can you give me permission to view your blog with the address I use much more often? aaronandrachelle@yahoo.com . Thanks a bunch.

I love the pictures. I always get flashbacks when Nicholas wears an old outfit of Michael's. I should try the side by side comparison. Your kids are so cute!
