the girls

Thursday, 7/19/12

Lindsay's 5-11mo birthday, Lydia had just turned 2-8mo, Lauren is almost 7-3months, and LeaAnn is 16-1/2mo... and they are ALL coloring! Just going to go ahead and state the obvious, that this is because of the two oldest... amazing the power of older-sister role-models! :D But it was SUPER-duper cute, and I had to take a picture of it....

Smallsy... as Chris says, "I can just eat her up right now" and it's true. She's really hit a good stage. Still  has her moments, but definitely turned a corner. She handed the stick over to LeaAnn who happily took her place as 'most independent/high-strung daughter of the month' ;)

Look at that and she even smiles for the camera now! She's telling a bazillion stories... which are long & extensive. She still loves Dora, loves Tico flying the airplanes, loves "Georgy", loves dancing, does awesome riding her bike, likes to read herself books, undresses/dresses herself and overall wants to do everything that her big sisters, "Waren & Dinsy" are doing. :)
Yesterday at the pool she put on her goggles, that she usually just wears for 'show' :) dunked herself under the water and came up saying, "Mommy! I go under the water wike Waren & Dinsy!"  So proud of herself... and she is a really good swimmer! She kicks her legs and is really quite graceful.. it's amazing. Again, the power of having older sisters ;)

Wiam... not to be left out :) she's getting the concept!

Our toothless Lindsay who can't wait to go to Kindergarten.

And Lauren who also can't wait to go to school! I find myself getting excited for them... and feel so blessed that they like and want to go back to school. Makes the transition to August & starting back-to-work that much easier.
