B & E

In Banner's first few months of life, he met some amazing new friends. To name a few, his first baby friends were: Marin, Landry, Emma, Shayna, Myka, Sami, Zeina, and Adam. But, one little girl has had play dates with Banner on an almost-weekly basis since about 2 or 3 months old. In the beginning, Ella and Banner's friendship mostly centered around taking walks to the park while napping in infant carriers so their moms could talk about how hard motherhood was. Soon, they would lay on play mats kicking their feet back and forth. Weeks later, they would roll over and look in each others' direction before rolling back the other way. Before long, they would reach for each others' toys, laugh at each other, sit up playing with the same toy, and trade turns in the Exersaucer or swing. Almost two years later, they are hugging each other, giving kisses goodbye, sharing snacks and sippy cups (and germs!), and calling each others' names. How fun it has been to watch them grow up together! As they turn 2 this week and embark on their third year of life, let's look back at their friendship:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, B & E! So glad you both have each other as friends!
