Snow babies

We finally got a little white stuff last week that everybody has been talking about! We only got about an inch or so but we acted like it was 10!  You see who wasn't very excited about it...Simmons =(  After 30 minutes of bundling this is what we end up with...there are so many captions that could go under this picture!! I did manage to get a picture of her before she discovered that if she crawled off the towel her hands would get cold & wet...
She's definitely catching up with her sister in the cheek department!  They are looking more and more alike for sure, especially when their hair is covered.  Simmons is such a sweet baby girl.  She doesn't miss a trick, though! She is all into the details and nothing gets passed her. She loves to smile and when she gets excited she breathes real fast and real loud.  I hear this every time I turn on Praise Baby =)  She loves to jump/bounce, shake her head no and is "miss particular" about her food.  She likes alot of things but some days I may have to try 6 or 7 things before I find the ones she's in the mood for that day.  Her favorites are definitely yogurt and cheese and based on her parents love for dairy that doesn't surprise us one bit...she gets it so honestly!  
Simmons is the one we usually find crawling up our legs to get some extra lovin.  She loves a good squeeze and can give a good slobbery kiss...when she wants to ;) She is into anything and everything and just this week has started walking behind her little push toy...it won't be long now...and we'll all be crazy! ;)   What a joy Simmons Love is!

Sally Kate didn't know what to think about the snow...this is the look she had the whole time we were out there. She looks so much like Larkin when he was a baby--I will have to post a picture of him when he was this age...
Sally Kate is a MESS! She's nothing but a chunk of love and leaves us laughing all the time.  Her smile takes up her whole little face and it will melt your heart in a minute.  She is our little drama queen and loves to "talk" saying ma ma ma and da da da, and she also loves to pull sister's hair...we're working on that one ;) She all but shovels in her food at meal time no matter what's put in front of her and sleeps like a champ.  She loves a bath but can't stand the fact that getting dressed always comes after that---pajama time is not her favorite to say the least!
She, like her sister, has started walking behind things this week. She thinks she's so big!
This precious baby girl fills our hearts with so much love!

We get asked a lot how well they play together, share, etc. and I think they do pretty good considering that there's always somebody to share their toys with.  Sometimes they don't bat an eye when one takes a toy away and another time there may be tears everywhere! They really do play well together and we're so thankful they have each other...it's going to be a neat relationship to watch grow.  I can't even begin to imagine all of the girlyness and prissyness that's going to take place in our house over the next oh, 18 years.  If I think it's drama now then I think we're in for it but we wouldn't have it any other way!
