While my mom was here I got her to snap some pictures of our new little family of four. There are two sets—the first didn’t turn out very well—Elna wasn’t smiling much—so, we tried again the next day with treats for Elna and that seemed to help with the smiling issue a bit.
First try.
And here are the second round of pictures we took:
Love what she’s doing with her feet here and love our new little family of four! So grateful!
She has the deepest blue eyes—so wide and beautiful!
Elna says “hold me, hold me” when she wants to hold Hattie. It’s very cute as I’m sure you can imagine!
Such beautiful girlies!
Look at those girls! They are just the most amazing little people to me—I am so in love!
And some cute pictures of Elna at the park:
My mom came to meet Harriet and help (a ton!) a few weeks after Harriet was born. She was a huge help—we organized my cupboards/pantry, finished some things for Elna’s big girl room, held Hattie, and played with Elna and took her on errands. Thank you, Mom!

A little photo shoot with Hattie:

For my birthday Brian’s parents took us to dinner at Veggie Grill (my fav!)—it was their first time there and they were good sports to eat vegan—thanks Harrises!
With Papa // With Grandma Elna
Reading with Grandma.
Grandma read lots of books to her, taught her some shapes (including trapezoid—which she still knows!), taught her how to pretend eat, and worked on a few more colors with her. Funny story about colors—one night as we were bathing Elna, my mom asked her the color of something that was orange. I told my mom that she didn’t know that color yet, and right when I said that Elna said “orange” as clearly as I would say it. It was so cute! She also got “purple” down while my mom was here. Now she knows all of her basic colors: pink, blue, yellow, green, white, black, red, brown, purple, and orange (the order in which she basically learned them).
Reading books before church.
Harriet’s first Sunday at church.
One of the best parts of having two girls is being able to coordinate their outfits—if I had all the money in the world they would match all of the time—love it!

Then we changed out of Easter dresses and did an egg hunt in Grandma’s backyard:
