I am definitely not used to saying "the girls" or "my girls" yet! It sounds weird to think I have two..and two girls at that, but we love the little munchkins to death...even though #2 is quite the handful!!! Elaina has really taken on a whole new look lately. I used to think she looked like Bella, but now...not so sure! It might just be the super Chris and Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07691893796803162980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283217687200522707.post-90158636918813198572010-03-18T19:08:00.003-07:002010-03-18T19:25:03.657-07:00Elaina FayeSo a little lazy on the blog lately, but here are a few pics of little Elaina for you all to enjoy until the next time I have time or energy to write an update on our baby girls!

Remember, more than 68% of you said #1 was a boy and it was a baby girl, so answer wisely!! :0)Here are a few other details to help you in your guessing perhaps:1.

This year was off to Oklahoma for a week with Chris' Family. We arrived on Nov 21st and stayed till the 28th. Chris always thoroughly enjoys stomping around on his home land...in the woods of course!

Is Bella walking? NOPE! She is close, but not quite ready to go! She has taking a very tiny step forward here or there, but not quite ready to take off on her own just yet. All in her own timing! She'll be walking the rest of her life, so we'll let her decide when she wants to move to that new milestone!

It was so sad, but the facial expressions and the little whimpers are so precious we just had to post them! Chris was lying on the couch with his knees bent up for Bella to lay against.
