Enjoying a date night!


Great food, great company, great laughs.

And of course, great love.

Our fourth of July...

Fourth of July dress.




Sitting with Tata. Great grandpa.




Both with Tata.




Blurry picture with Nana. These two love to laugh.

Then we went over to Abue's after nap. Of course she had karaoke...






Giving Papa Pancho a turn.




Dance party! We didn't let the gloomy weather bring us down.




Ellie wasn't quite sure what to make of the singing.




But Abue kisses cheered her up.




Then some fireworks watching on YouTube before bed.

Perfect day.

Much Love,
The Dolfos.

Dear Ellie,

You didn't sleep well last night. You've been nursing all day. If I leave the room, you promptly wail. Any feelings of frustration or impatience quickly melted when you happily settled for a (short) nap with me. This precious moment right here is all I will remember.

Love you,
Mom.

The differences.

I think the biggest challenge with having two kids (or more, I'd imagine) is reminding myself not to compare them. Just because Makani was this way at four months doesn't mean Aurelia will be. She is her own person, and has her own path and is doing it just as she should be. My job is to remember that, and keep encouraging.

Much Love,
The Dolfos
