Siblings!

Eli and Evan are truly becoming BFF's.  Cory and I just noticed really recently that it took this long for them to get to this point..over 2.5 yrs.  It is probably a combination of Evan being able to communicate very well and being able to hang with Eli, but they finally 'clicked' and are inseparable.  Yes, they fight and fight but they also giggle a LOT and want to spend every minute together.  And as far as Bryn, Eli continues to just adore her! He is very protective and loving.  He lights up when he sees her, he loves making her laugh and we will catch him trying to teach her things often (such as words).  I am sure the relationship will evolve as she gets older, but we imagine Eli will forever be protective of her.  Evan, on the other hand, we predict will be butting heads with his baby sis for awhile!  He too loves her to pieces and will give her hugs and kisses all the time, but he is not patient with her at all.  If Bryn takes something of Eli's, he'll say in a sweet, patient voice, "No, No sissy" and will go get her something else.  Evan will yell, "Noooooo!" and rip something out of her hands, cry, you name it.  He has even been rough with her when he was upset.  Oh boy.  With all of that said, Ev is much younger and still a baby himself!  :)  This is his first time being a big brother and Eli's second!  We hope that all 3 will continue to be close and love each other unconditionally!
