The days of sweat and sunscreen have begun and I'm loving sitting in the backyard with my girls while Nora makes up endless games in her pool and waters all the plants to excess (tasting all the edible ones as she goes after asking "Mama, please can I eat this? With a cherry on top?") and Elise lays on a blanket being adorable.
I'm really looking forward to this summer. Nora's hair is bleaching out blond and those killer blue eyes against her sunkissed cheeks are to die for. She's as creative as ever and says some of the most hilarious and smart things - like this morning when she called Elise a "little pooper" in her cute adult high baby-talk voice; or the other day when she told Chris and I "Don't worry. It's all a part of life" as we were bickering about something silly in the car; and just listening to her pronounce swimming pool - fwimmin poo - cracks me up. And I can't even imagine all the new things to come in Elise-land over the next few months...this is the time when they learn a new amazing feat just about daily. She's already fully discovered her hands and the joy of grabbing things and bringing them to her little mouth. She's very close to rolling over and just as close to sitting up on her own. She talks a lot and loudly and really enjoys spitting and making raspberries. So fun.
We seem to have found our zone this month and I'm really having fun as a mom of 2. Watching their relationship develop is so amazing...I cry happy tears daily just looking at them. Of course we have our challenging moments, but all in all life is really good!
Now, on to the pictures...
Elise's little toes are painted pink...Nora insisted.
Talkin', droolin', smilin', and spittin'...
Pool day!
Nora's arabesque (check out the pointed toes!)...
