Best Buds

Ella and McKenna have really become best buds! For the most part Ella has done amazing with transitioning into a big cousin! Lately Ella tries to pick McKenna up, putting her where she wants her to go. She's needed a few friendly reminders that McKenna is still a baby and she needs to be gentle and not so rough! :)

There is nothing cuter than seeing and hearing McKenna when Ella walks into the room. She squeals with excitement and has the biggest smile for her big cuz! It is also really cute the way Ella talks to McKenna. She has the sweetest voice that always makes McKenna happy!

Lately Kenna has been saying sounds that really do sound like "Ella"! We all get really excited when we hear it- usually wondering if we are just hearing things or if she really said it!

Below are some of the recent pictures I have of these two buds this summer. They start with the most recent and end at Ella's birthday party!

At the park in Waverly on our "road trip"!

Ella wondered why I was taking up all the room... sorry Ellie! :)

First time at The Falls

Pool party at Gpa and Gma's

Sometimes it isn't easy trying to get a picture of these two!

Happy Fourth of July!

We've been seeing this face on McKenna a lot lately :)

They love to dress alike!

Ella was trying to entertain McKenna during a bridal shower

Twins!

"Please Ella, stop!"

That's better!

Ella picked out McKenna's outfit for the day- even her bow!

Reading books together- so sweet!

Ella also needs friendly reminders to only pour water on Kenna's feet and hands!

Ella thought she should also have her fruit in the fresh food feeder... We tried to remind her they are for babies... she didn't care!

Yummy!!!

Super excited to see McKenna came to her dance recital!

Another favorite of Ella's- making Kenners lay on top of her!

They love to take baths together! Ella usually asks me if Kenna needs a bath because she would much rather take one with McKenna than by herself!

Together on Ella's birthday!

We love you so much big cuz! Thanks for loving your little cuz!
