growing girls



i just cant get over how quickly these little ones change! bianca is cooing up a storm; when shes awake, shes always got something to say! russ says shes chatty b/c she has to learn to keep up with skylar (and im sure me too... im not really the quiet type). she's started this smile accompanied by a few gasps and coos - her little version of a laugh. its awesome.
skylar kills me sometimes! her growing personality is fascinating to me. she is so creative already! for example, a few days ago, we went to the YMCA and then to the library. she insisted that we walk forward into the buildings, and backward on the way out. literally backward, all the way from the door, through the parking lot, to our car. here's me, holding B in the pumpkin seat, the diaper bag, library books, and skylar's hand while we walk backwards in the rain to the car. my children have tought me to be patient and enjoy the moment. who cares if we got wet? it was so cute. she loved being in charge! she also loves to scream "ECHO, ECHO, ECHO!" in every new place we go. did you know that almost all public bathrooms echo? she is loud as all get-out (wonder where she got that?!) and it drives me crazy sometimes, but i love seeing the world through her explorations. the holiday post will come soon! i was too busy to take pictures! russ and i spent most of christmas eve trying to keep skylar from going absolutely ape when her cousin got a new toy and wanted a second to look at it before she ripped it out of his hands! im waiting for my sister to post hers so i can steal them. ;-)))
