Girlies

The girls are nearly 10 months old! They are busy busy busy. They are doing all the typical stuff; crawling, pulling up, cruising, and getting into EVERYTHING! They are really good eaters and look forward to meal time... They crawl over as fast as they can when they see I'm getting their highchairs ready. They are just starting to eat finger foods, it's taking some practice. A lot of it ends up on the floor at this point.
It is really fun to watch their personalities emerge. Rosie is a watcher, observer. She notices a bow in her sisters hair and imeadeatly pulls it out, she just sits and watches everything going on, quietly patiently watching. She seems to be a little more cautious than her sister. She takes her time to start conquering that next milestone but when she does she gets really good at it right away. She likes to watch Hattie figure it out then she'll try it. She is a very happy little girl and she has a big toothless smile that is contagious. She will just catch your eye and smile so big... Love.

Hattie is the doer. She just dives right in to the newest activity... Sometimes, literally she dives right in. She doesn't hesitate when she wants to try something new. Like pulling up, she just kept trying and trying and falling down and falling down until she got it. Also, she is loud and wants to make sure everyone knows she is there. She seems to want to be the first to do everything. She also has two teeth!

They really do love each other. It's easy to see. It is fun to sit back and watch them play. Typical babies at this age are just parallel playing with their peers at this point. But you can see that they are actually interacting. Passing toys back and forth, fighting over them, exploring together -if you find one you can be sure the other is nearby, and as I put them down to sleep they usually look over at the other crib to make sure sister is there. They giggle together and get silly for no apparent reason - the inside jokes have already begun. And these girls LOVE their daddy. They hear his voice when he walks in the door at the end of the day they both stop what they are doing and b-line for him. Cute.
