Missing in Action

I sent the girls to play in their room this morning while I finished getting ready. As I was doing my make-up, I realized that it was really quiet for several minutes. When I walked into the room, I didn't see them in any of the expected places and started to get kind of nervous. I called for them and a little eye peered out from a blanket strategically placed by her sister. These photos were recreations of their hiding spots! :)

She's got your back!

It's naptime and I just sat down to post some pictures from the past few weeks.  Usually, Amity naps in her bed and Vivien naps in the pack and play in our room or the guest bedroom/office.  Lately, because of needing to work in both of those rooms, we have tried putting Vivien down in her crib and they have both napped just as well.  This afternoon, I have clothes to fold on our bed and work to do on the office computer so I decided to try it again.  I heard quiet talking and babbling for a few minutes accompanied by the roar of the sound machine.  Just now, I heard, "Mommy, her foot is stuck!" repeated several times.  I opened the door to see V's foot hanging through the crib slats and Amity laying on her pillow pointing at her sister.  By the time, I touched Vivien's foot, she was already slipping it back through the bed so it didn't really seem to be an emergency.  I still love Amity's concern for her sister and I pray this care and concern perseveres, especially through middle school and high school!

Sisters At Play

Now that Vivien is starting to be more alert and awake for awhile after she eats, we are having fun "playing" with her, especially Amity. Vivien seems to like it too! We love her smiles!

A little tummy time on her super-soft monkey. I think this picture shows that they still do have a lot of the same features, especially their little noses. I don't know where those cute noses came from!

Amity is finally starting to learn to "pose" for pictures!

Vivien loves this mobile just as much as Amity did. She will happily watch it and coo and kick her legs for at least twenty minutes. Amity loves to join her for a snuggle.
One morning a couple of weeks ago, I was feeding Vivien early in the morning and Amity woke up earlier than usual. I went in and got her and sat at the desk chair with both in my lap. Apparently, I said something about my "two girls". Now, Amity likes to say "Mommy's two girls" whenever she is hanging out with her sister!
