The actress also praised Ellie for being a responsible and caring big sister yesterday during their visit to Manila. She said on Instagram that they all had gone through a long day, and at night, 4-month-old Lilo was crying. “She chose to help take care of Lilo and soothe her even if she didn’t have to, and nobody asked her to. WHAT AN AMAZING BIG SIS,” she wrote.
