Closer and closer to TWO every day. These girls are talking up a storm lately, like big time word explosion! They'll pretty much attempt to repeat anything you say... which is a constant reminder that mommy & daddy have to watch what comes out of our mouths! ha! And they are speaking more in phrases as opposed to just singular words. We are working on our counting in English AND Spanish (I have to get them on video doing this, I was thoroughly impressed!); they also sing along to the ABC's (mostly) and know a few songs (more or less). It really is astonishing how much these little sponges soak up on a daily basis.
I love you my girls!
Being silly with Daddy
Liv, you are so thoughtful and caring, and a bit of a daddy's girl. You are definitely more timid than your sister, and you like to hang back to assess the situation for a bit before opening up; but when you do, you just light up and become this little ham! You are our good eater and tend to be content as long as you've been fed and have your "baynkee" close by. You are always cracking us up with your faces and I love watching you care for your dollies - carefully tucking them under a blanket and singing them a lullaby - such a little doting mother! You are always worriedly soothing Caroline when she's fussy, telling her, "Sissy, don't cry... don't cry". My favorite part of the day is when you first wake up and you are so happy and literally bouncing around in your crib being such a cheese ball. Love my happy baby.
Caroline, you are such a little pistol; very determined, curious, and at times dramatic - yes, I said it, she's a bit of a drama queen. You are so outgoing and interested in meeting new people - you'll walk right up to a group of big kids at the playground as if to say, "what's up?" and won't even look back. You tend to favor your mama when you get hurt or fussy, and are always in to something. You like to pick on your sister, even though she's bigger than you are; but you are getting better at sharing and are so generous with affection when we catch you in the right mood. You are a picky eater to no end which drives your mama crazy, but you sure do love anything sweet (wonder where she gets that??). You are our little climber, if I turn my back for a second you'll have already rigged up one of the bar stools and hoisted yourself onto the kitchen island countertop, with your hand in the fruit basket. You keep us busy, that's for sure; and we love you so very much.
I love watching them grow into themselves, developing their own unique personalities.
What a tremendous blessing.
