The Girls

We are very much enjoying watching our girls grow and lately, with Claire really starting to interact and play, it's so great to watch their relationship grow.  Anna adores Claire, loves to give her puffs and mums when she's in her high chair.  She brings her toys when she's on the floor; she's also very careful to keep her little toys away.  Claire loves to play with her sister and really wants to play with whatever Anna has in her hands.  Today Claire was officially inducted into the club of "little sister."  She's been the little sister for 6.5 months now, but today she really proved herself.  Anna had Candyland out on the floor, and it had been suggested to her that she keep the game away from Claire....however, Scooter Claire got herself within arms reach, grabbed onto one of those colored cards and crinkled it and drooled on it and sent her big sister into a tizzy.  Yep, Claire's officially the little sister, causing trouble!  

My accidental reference to Claire as Scooter is in honor of her latest ability.  She's officially going from sitting to the crawling position...then rocking back and forth a bit and finally falling to her belly and just scooting around.  She can go 360 degrees and goes in reverse, but hasn't quite mastered moving forward.  We know that it's just a matter of time; on our weekend to do list is double check all the baby proofing!  

Here are a few pictures of our girls enjoying some time together.  

The girls in their matching jammies.  Anna loves to wear matching outfits with Claire!  

Sisters relaxing on the couch together, each enjoying their favorite toys.  Anna on her computer and Claire with corn in her mouth.  

Claire has three teeth coming in across the bottom at the same time so is chewing on everything.  I feel like we hit the six month mark and now we're really cruising fast to one.  Teeth, crawling, pulling up, walking....oh my we are in for some fun months ahead!
