I love you and kisses

Sophie's new thing: Sophie will offer up kisses if you ask her for them. You hear her little lips smack but she doesn't actually kiss most of the time. I have found her kissing her "bebe" and Grace too.

Grace's new thing: Brian tucked Grace in to bed last night. He told her he loved her and asked her if she could say I love you, daddy. To his surprise, Grace told her daddy "I love you, dada" in response. He must be a special to get his little girl's first ever "I love you!"

Our house continues to be as crazy as ever. Some random updates about what the girls are up to these days ...
Grace loves to grab my hand and drag me out to the kitchen to "d" ("d"=dance to the Leap Frog Fridge DJ). Grace loves reading her Elmo seek and find book and picking up objects off the pages. Grace still loves to "cook" stuff in her play kitchen so any snacks she is given becomes fair game to be added to the play pots and pans. The play pots and pans seem to end up in our kitchen sink to be cleaned out on a regular basis these days! I spotted one of Grace's two year old molars finally coming in the other day when I brushed her teeth!
Sophie desperately wants to jump at only 14 months of age. (Jumping is a skill generally learned at age 2 or so.) Sophie loves to read the animals book and has added "pig", "turtle", and "sheep" to her growing number of words. Any animal name that Sophie doesn't want to say becomes "sheep". I guess she likes sheep? Sophie has become attached to a blanket her Grandma Williams made for her baby cradle. She looks like a doll carrying it around. Sophie now has six teeth and will still eat anything you give her.
