Sisters

As Carter Caroline gets older, it is so fun to see the girls becoming better and better friends. They have been in such different stages until now and Kate used to ask me pretty frequently when C.C. would be old enough to play with her. I think we are getting there! There is nothing better than hearing them playing, laughing or interacting (happily!) with each other, especially when it just sneaks up and takes us by surprise. No one can make C.C. laugh like Kate can, and anything that Kate does C.C. automatically mimicks. Hmm.... this could be trouble!

Now if C.C. would find a new favorite activity other than tearing apart Kate's (many!) art projects life would be smooth as silk around here! Oh yeah, and they would both need to come to an agreement that C.C. only gets cuddled, hugged, mothered, or otherwise manhandled by Kate when she (the handlee) is fully prepared and in agreement.

The girls were so excited the day we realized that C.C. can sit at the "big" table now and eat lunch with Kate. (And yes, that is a big sharp knife on the table. Mother of the year, right here!)

Kate wanted to push C.C. around our driveway on her pink car. As usual, Miss Independent did not care to be handled and wanted to do the pushing herself, grunting the whole way up the hill. Every once in a while I had to catch them both as the car rolled backwards...

...We were playing in the yard and I turned around the see the kiddos had parked themselves for a rest. ....A rare moment when I turn around and the girls are talking and laughing to themselves. Ah, for more of these!!!
