Girls...

We arrived at church a bit early the other day so we decided to take some pictures.  You can see that the process started out real well!

I got a few good ones though...

 

Caroline especially was into posing for the camera, 

while Libby ran away!

They have gotten to where they antagonize each other now,

but there are still sweet moments.  

Here are a few facts about Caroline right now...

• She loves babies - both dolls and the real things.  She will hold any baby she can get her hands on.  We often have to pry her away from cousin Macie so that she will play with Kelsey.  We also frequently tell her that we are the parents to which she responds, "but I'm a parent to my baby doll."  Who can argue with that?
• She loves to be outside swinging in the back yard or riding her bike.  We've been giving her some independence and letting her play outside by herself for short periods of time.  We live in a safe neighborhood, right?!
• She can fasten her car seat by herself.
• She is learning to swim without flotation.  If only we could get her to put her face in the water.  ;-)
• She loves to dance and has been begging me for months to put her in a ballet class.  We tried to take her in the fall but she cried through the whole thing.  She now tells me, "I'm not scared anymore Mom.  I'll be brave in dance class."  It's about to break my heart so we are working on getting her signed up.
• Caroline loves her mommy but she is a daddy's girl!

Here are a few facts about Libby...

• She is calm and easy going about 90% of the time.  She plays independently and goes with the flow.  I often wonder what she thinks about our home because there are ALWAYS people over here.  She's pretty sweet about sharing and just floats along like whatever mess we find ourselves in is normal.   However, that other 10% is complete crazy.  :-)  She loves to swipe at us when she gets mad or throw herself back on the floor if she is not happy with something you say.  I try my best to avoid that 10%.  
• Libby is a good little eater and still eats pretty much whatever fruit or veggie that I put in front of her.  I remember with Caroline there was a point when she realized she didn't have to do that anymore.  Libby is still going strong in the veggie department.
•  Libby also loves to be outside.  We borrowed our neighbors little tykes car and she has been flintstoning it around the driveway for days now.
• She loves to show us two with her fingers.  We think she's a genius and pretty cute too.
• She is starting to tell us when she needs to go potty or more accurately when she is actually going but at least it's a start!
• She loves to run around the house downstairs while Daddy chases her.
