Bragging Rights

Okay. So, I try not to just go crazy about my babies on a day to day basis, but I figure I get to brag on my own blog. Right?!? ; )

Here's our very deliberate little builder. You already know she's good at this, she just keeps getting more and more elaborate in her designs: color, shape, matching -- or not. She's awesome.
Too cute!
Aine is just amazing us! This little girl is 16 months old and will sit and play with blocks for half and hour and just build, build, build. She is so physical. She is our climber, our manipulator -- just busy, busy. Her language doesn't suffer for it, while she was stacking these blocks she was saying, "...blocks up, up...". When they fell she'd say, "...blocks dooowwwnnnn!" That triangle block she has in her hand, she knew it couldn't be the block on the top, she kept putting it on and then taking it off to place another block and she'd say, "not top, not top." Crazy-smart little girl!
You know this one's artistic.
Also artistic, but in such a different way.
"Mama, boots -- feet! N-aaao-w!"
Our singin' girls. They really have lovely little voices. I'll post some singing soon.
Sister love! They are too sweet -- so glad we had two back to back! And so glad they will have each other!

Today, Aine said: "Juice...put in cup." Seriously, she's 16 months old!?! For real?!? Amazing!

...and Aoife, she found a birth announcement from friends. She said, "Let me see that picture of those cute babies (twins)." Then she continued to say, "Look how sweet they are. That one baby's huggin' the other." To which I said, "Aoife, you're funny (in an endearing way)." She replied, with emphasis, "I'm not funny, Mommy, I'm just bein'... (long pause)... HAPPY!" What a breath of fresh air.

Please forgive my bragging rant. I mean for this to be an archive for my girls someday and I am just crazy proud of them -- bursting at the seams -- which I know so many of you can understand! I love parenting them and sharing parenthood with all of you!

Lots of love!
