Our Sweet Little Ila

 Ila is the sweetest little baby.  She is so content and peaceful. 
 Lulu LOVES having a little sister. 
 Mommy and Daddy both LOVE having a new baby around.  We both feel we are so much calmer this time and are able to just enjoy her with Lulu and Levi. We talked about how tense we were with Lulu being our very first.  It was totally different, we are totally different.  We feel like we can truly enjoy these fleeting moments so much more now that we have been through it twice already. 
 Big brother Levi.  He is very affectionate towards Ila.  He loves to kiss her forehead.
 The other morning Lulu climbed in be with me.  Ila was asleep on my chest.  So I asked Lulu is she would like to lie down with her.  She was thrilled.  They spent a good 20min just bonding like this.  Ila just slept and Lulu just held her and kissed her.  It was very sweet.
 Mark had to head back to work....boo hoo.  So here he is with his 3 children before he headed out.  My mom came and will be with us for 2 weeks to help.  My dad and mom are such a blessing to us. 
 Here is one of the only pictures of Ila with her eyes open.  She is usually sleeping.
 All 3....my heart is so happy.

 Today we sat out in the backyard.  Ila slept and we even got a few smiles from her.
