Enjoying the beautful day...and beautiful girls!

Hannah, Ellie and I ate lunch at a nearby park today and soaked up the gorgeous sun! On the way home, Hannah was enjoying a chocolate chip cookie and broke it in half. She asked me if I wanted some, but I declined (I had already eaten all of mine :O), so she then said that she would save it and give it to Daddy when he got home. I couldn't believe it! What 3 year old who LOVES chocolate chip cookies, saves some for her Daddy?! I told her that I was very proud of her and she said, "Yeah, and Jesus is proud of me too." I couldn't help but smile.

Hannah loves to "fly!"



Ellie is not too sure about the swing yet.



I just realized I should give an update on Ellie's latest "achievements"...
*she turned 8 months old!
* she started drinking from a sippy cup...sort of. It's pretty cute, when we hold the cup up for her and she sucks and gets some water in her mouth, she starts kicking her legs and flapping her arms!
* she started eating Cheerios and Gerber puff things...she hasn't quite gotten the pincher thing down, so we've been feeding them to her (don't worry, we let her try too :O)
*she says, "da-da", "ma-ma", ta-ta" and makes a funny, long grunting noise to simply hear herself "speak" (I keep telling her it's not very lady like. :O)
*she's not crawling yet, but we think she'll get there soon. She has been SO unlike Hannah in that she is absolutely content to be where ever she is placed. She'll lay or sit in the same place and be happy as can be. By the time Hannah was 6 1/2 months old, she was ALL over the place...we couldn't keep her still!

Here's a picture to prove it! (Hannah - 8 months old)
