to help me remember

Every day, I catch myself thinking: "Don't forget that when they get older!"

The other day, I put Lily down for her nap.  She was wearing underwear, shorts, and a t-shirt, and laying in the middle of the bed.  I left her when she was almost asleep.  I come back 20 minutes later to check on her, and she is like this:


It's starting to look a bit like Christmas around here...was down to 65 this morning, though in the 90's by noon, and our "Christmas Palm" is beautiful and festive.
 Lily loves the "Christmas flowers", and I'm always amused that poinsettias grow in the tropics!

 Lily and Sofie both LOVE "sittin' in the grass" looking at bugs, picking flowers, and, well, eating bugs and eating flowers.
 I don't know what the deal is, but Lily is suddenly REALLY into clothes.  She gets dressed and changes clothes literally DOZENS of times a day, she will accept NO help, NO guidance on outfits, and after a few minutes, wants to change again.  Hence, the polka-dot-dress-plaid-jammie-pants outfit.  

I wouldn't care, except that of course this means clothes are everywhere all the time.
 She is also really into washing dishes.  Over and over and over for as long as we will let her.  
 Grammy and Pop-Pop got her this cute shirt, and she looks like such a big girl in it!
 Sofie is at the "everything for my mouth" stage, and spends most of the time trying to eat whatever I'm doing, including the camera.
 But NOTHING thrills Sofie more than Lily.  Lily can make her laugh any time, and she starts kicking the moment she sees her.
 ...and then sometimes, she loves Lily (and her hair) too much.  And Lily can't get away :)
 We've got Sofie on a new schedule which has been rough getting started but much better now.  Week by week I can see her changing, and though she JUST started sitting up, she's already falling into a crawl and trying to move.  Oh man.
Love These Girls.
