Because of the Beyond Birth group I attended with Anna as a newborn, she has had a close-knit group of the same friends since she was a mere 3 weeks. It was there we met such wonderful moms, many of whom are still precious to us, 4 years later. 

But because little Eliza was the second child, she did not have that special alone time with mama in the beginning. We did not attend the Beyond Birth group and she has only 1 little buddy her age, a younger sister of Anna's oldest friend. 

But also because she is the little sister, she gets to hang out with the "big girls" which she just loves. And for the most part, they love doting on Eliza. 

 

How can you not?
