Two's good.

So, I'm absolutely loving having two kids. They are both so sweet and adorable.
Levi is a great big brother and really seems to enjoy Ellie. I can't wait until she's a little bigger and can really interact with him. He already gets such a kick out of doing things that make her laugh and having her grip his finger. He's entered into yet another incredibly cute stage, where now he can carry on a conversation with you. I LOVE these talks, he's hilarious.
Eliana has grown out of the newborn phase (I'm not a huge fan of that stage) and is on to cooing and has recently started to giggle. She is easy to entertain and squeals with delight when people talk to her. She's also just started to make "motor boat" noises. (Hope you know what I mean, raspberries maybe?) She'll even imitate you if you do it first, too cute.
I'm a never say never person, but I'm pretty sure this is it for us. Our family feels complete to me. And the truth is I don't know that I could handle more kids. If you know me then it won't come as a surprise to hear that I'm a bit of a control freak. I like being able to hang on to my kids when need be and, well, I've only got the two hands.
One for him....
(Please don't get mad at me for this picture Mizzou fans. You see this boys daddy is a Kansan and all they have is KU. It's true, try and think of anything else to come out of Kansas.... See, hopefully now you understand why my 3 yr. old is walking around the house saying "Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk." He told me he had woodpeckers on his jammies and I had a good laugh before I corrected him. But doesn't he look so proud in this picture.)
And one for her....
Notice her John Deere keys, which she has recently discovered she can shake all by herself.
Thanks for reading.

Awww...great post. I'm so glad you are enjoying this stage in your life. I would love to rewind to when my kids were that age!
