This is the way we.......

Brush our teeth, Brush our teeth........



Ella Grace and Edie Claire are getting to be big little girls! It's happening so much faster the older they get. The girls are super sharp, observant and perceptive. Our days are filled with fun and amazement....which is a normal parental phenomena (is that how to spell that word?) but it's AWESOME!!! Just some of the things.....let's start with Ella Grace.
The girl can move...she's a full time walker! She does look a little like someone spiked her milk with all the wobbling but she makes it to where she needs to get. I kick myself every night for not working in a little video before she gets more steady on her feet and the opportunity passes.
She likes to snuggle more than her sister...she likes to pat Rubi and the kitties...and believe me they LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it too.....(wink wink)! Her pats are a little on the punchy side.....but we practice gentle.
She knows how to identify people and herself....when we say "where is Ella?" she pats herself on the head....when we ask her where mommy, daddy or Rubi are she points at the appropriate person.....or dog! Brilliant, I tell you!
Here are some pictures of the little Einstein.......
See here..how she sits..smart huh??? Biased, I am not!


making sure she didn't step in a puppy pile in the backyard......


she likes to smile....good thing because she has a fabulous smile!


........there she goes!!!


here she comes.............


Now little Miss Edie Claire....
she is SOMETHING! ELSE! She has quite a sense of humor...likes to joke around! Her favorite joke is putting some piece of clothing over her head, walking into things and smiling or pulling the cloth off really quick and smiling as you say "where is Edie"......."there she is". Fun times people. Fun times!
When she is ready for you to come and get her from her crib she yells....."aaaayyyyy" really loudly and over and over again. Cute!
She demonstrated her newest skill for the first time today.......door opening! Yeah that's right......she stands high up on her tiptoes and opens doors!!! We have no deadbolts! We will soon have many deadbolts! Tacky.....but necessary!
When she is doing something that she knows she isn't supposed to.....say hitting her sister on the head....she looks at whoever is there and as soon as we say nooooo she starts shaking her head nooooooo......trouble!!!
Here is her photo shoot.......the little brilliant one!!!

Inquisitive.......
