I haven't updated about Eliya in a long while! Eliya will be 2 in July and with the exception of having a bug for going on two weeks now, she's been a *great* 2 year old. :) She talks so much, and it seemed to happen overnight. She LOVES to say our names a lot... and has mastered saying a full "Goodbye" instead of just "bye bye" or "bye". :) She's absolutely adorable to all of us... she loves to hug, snuggle and pat Wyatt. She tags along with the big girls and has her days of regressing back to wanting to be a "baby". I try to spoil her in that way as often as I can... it won't be long and she'll grow out of that completely. I can't remember the last time the twins came and sat in my lap wanting me to "baby" them. :) A quick hug and snuggle is all I get. ;)

Eliya is definitely my little joy... I mean, she's going through some "two" stuff right now... but she's far from terrible. I never liked saying that about the kids, "Oh, they're going through the terrible twos"... I don't know why. :) Eliya looks *just* like my MIL... as you can see from the pic below. :) I sure love my Eliya (God Answered)!

Tommy, Eliya and Tommy's Mom, Drema~

That is just adorable!! Thanks for sharing & I think it's so cool that you're still giving her the "baby" attention she needs... it's so easy with a newborn for them to take over your life!! (As I'm finding out again...)

She's getting so big! what a precious little girl you have Jen.

she is so beautiful!

How adorable! I love the pony tails!:mrgreen:

Oh I am totally in "the twos" with ya girl! No, not 'terrible' but, um, well....active..and often trying..anywho..yep, I hear ya hehe


She certainly is her daddy all over again. I just adore that shot of Li, Tommy and Drema. Such beautiful people all of you. :)

And I think the little ponytails are precious. I love high bouncey tails on littles. hehe

She is adorable! You are one blessed mama :-)

Goodness Jen I love your pics. Here and facebook! Eliya is certainly your hubby's side! I see sooo much of your husband in her as well as your mil. I agree about "terrible two's" I never said that as well, each age and stage has hard times and even more wonderful if you just chose to look at it that way. My 17 year old can sometimes even act like he was at two, lol.

Cute kiddos girl!!

My 17 year old can sometimes even act like he was at two, lol.

Ohhhh she is beautiful!!!! You have a gorgeous family Jen! :D

I was looking at these a day or so ago when I had quick minute and all I could think about was how fast time goes by and how before I know it, I'll be posting 2 year old pics of Grace. Sigh!

Enjoy your babies, girl. I know you do!! :D

Ahh...she looks like a big girl :-D
