The girls spent Monday and Tuesday with Mimi. In the meantime, I got to spend quality time with my baby sister before starting her new job. We had a blast shopping, dining, staying up late talking until we fell asleep on the couch with all the lights on, sleeping in, online browsing, decorating, even the… Continue Reading
Out of nowhere, this one started counting to 10 and sorting by color and shape. The same day she shocks me with her newly acquired knowledge, this one started grabbing his feet, rocking and rolling from back to front.

I love seeing the unique relationships unfold of our sister, sister, brother dynamic I didn’t expect the sibling rivalry at this early stage in the game.
