Blaise has a new playmate! Baby Ellie Grace was born last Tuesday, August 26 to my cousin Lyndsay. My mother tells me that Ellie was the exact same size as me-8.5 lbs and 20.5 inches long. She was almost a pound and a half smaller than her big brother Chase-much to Lyndsay's relief! Momma and baby are doing wonderful! I couldn't believe how different Blaise already looks from a newborn. He's changed and grown so much in these past seven weeks!
Lyndsay and I grew up next door to each other and are more like sisters than cousins. We were together all the time. Whether ballet lessons, roaming the woods, or having a sleepover, we were inseparable. We both ended up in Alabama for college, got married the same year, and now have babies 6 weeks apart. (Though this is her second!) I look forward to sharing this new stage of motherhood with her.
