Silly Little Girls


Mary and Sophie at home


Not a lot of news to report on the home front, but we haven't been on the blog in a while. Since we had our vacation in July, the girls have just been spending time at home and around C'ville. Going to the park, going to the pool, just enjoying summertime. And I think they have grown a lot just over the past month or so - they are little girls now, not babies anymore. They are testing their boundaries (or going past them). But they are also learning more too and showing off things they know that surprise us sometimes.

They can both count from 1-10 now. The other day, Sophie was counting pieces of food during dinner time. She counted all the way to ten, then shouted "Yay!" and applauded herself. Then I asked her if she was going to eat that, and she said, "Nooooo!!" Actually she did end up eating some after that. It's not much trouble getting Mary to eat, but she doesn't like to stay in the chair so much.

We have been doing more stuff than staying at home on the couch, but these were the moments when I had the camera handy.

Our friend Andy took some great shots a few weeks ago at Fridays After Five in C'ville. Friends Melissa and Pam are also in the pictures with me and the girls. Hopefully this will take you to the slideshow: (Side note: if you get to the earlier pictures, those were taken in May of last year - the girls have grown so much!)
