I LOVE how different our girls are from one another. They are each beautiful and unique. In many ways, they are quite opposite. In a very few, they are similar kiddos– Independent, shy, affectionate, silly - who love to see new things, but, at the end of the day, they just want to be home with Mom and Dad. On the floor, reading books, or playing games.
These two just love each other so much, and are constantly looking around for the other one, Stella making sure Ruby is okay, and Ruby making sure Stella is near. There are countless hugs and kisses between the two, and Stella tells me on a very regular basis how grateful she is to have a sister, and thanks us for giving her Ruby. Ruby, meanwhile, lights up whenever she glimpses Stella, and always has to be near her. These two are just the sweetest, and we are so grateful for our little family (despite the regular sleepless nights) and love watching them grow into individual little people.
