People keep asking how Eli is doing with “Meee-a” (that's what Elijah calls Amelia: he rarely says the 1st syllable of a 3 syllable word and he can't say l's yet, so she is “Mia” to him). Mostly he thinks she is the “bees knees.” So much so that he wants carry her places (yipes!) and give her lots of smushing hugs and kisses. Gentle is not a term most 2 year olds can carry out: they try but with little success.
Amelia is doing well. eating lots and sleeping well.
Here's a picture of Eli covering a sleeping Amelia. Later he decided he wanted to take a nap with her, so the blanket was spread with a “sleeping” child at each end. Sooooo cute.

Also, Elijah is a construction master. We asked him to put away the cooking stuff he had gotten out. We walked into the kitchen and found this. Maybe he'll work for Ikea.
