Pig Tails

I have been so excited for Sissy's hair to get long enough for piggy tails. After three trips to Target, we finally found hair bands small enough for her baby hair.

Fleeting Moments

Snacks climbed into bed with Sissy and me this morning and said, "I love you guys more than anything in the world."

Which I enjoyed for exactly thirty minutes until I was back to my "Worst Mom in the Whole World" status.

Save One for Daddy

Snacks' most favorite treat these days is chocolate coins. Luckily we can get a little bag of them from Walgreen's for only 64 cents--they don't have to be the fancy expensive kind.

Snacks always makes sure to save at LEAST one coin for his dad. In fact, Snacks saves at least one of ANY treat he has for his dad. No matter what.

Compassion

At the zoo the other day, Minna was lagging behind most of the time, which is unusual for her. As we entered one of the buildings, I turned around to ask Snacks to run back out and walk in with Minna to keep her company. But I didn't find him behind me...

Because he had already run back out to Minna on his own. And he was holding her hand.

My sweet, sweet boy.

Mommy's Girl

Sissy has recently taken to getting a book off of the shelf in her room and carrying it into Snacks' room, where she climbs up into the chair at his table and begins "reading" it to herself.

A proud moment for Mommy who's very favorite alone-time pleasure is sneaking away to read a book.

Milestones

Not a particularly clear picture--I'm still learning to use my new camera--but I am ELATED today because at 16 1/2 months, Sissy is FINALLY catching on to this whole walking thing. She's been practicing quite a bit today.

I'll be whipping out those red Mary Janes in no time!
