Ellie is facinated with my beard (this is Troy, by the way). She likes rubbing it and pulling on it. However, she does not like it when I rub her neck with it. Someone mentioned to her that she once had a milk mustache, which she quickly extrapolated into a whole beard. This is easier to create if you are intentionally messy to leave as much milk as possible on your face to create a beard (or “beart” as she calls it.) like daddy. So.. after every cup of milk she excitedly exclaims “I have a milk beart!” then giggles like a little nut.

Adelaine is our little cuddler. She is the expert hugger of the family, giving them frequently and for long periods with her head on your shoulder.

Unca Dew (Uncle Andrew) recently had a birthday and the nieces were on hand to help make it a memorable event.

This one is titled “Mischief Incarnate”. I think it is a self-explanatory title.

Adelaine has figured out where her nose and mouth are. So if you ask, she will show you by squeezing her nose or usually opening her mouth wide. This time she covered it.

Ellie, our little tomboy, will bravely get up to the top of a slide then chicken out and not go down it.

Adelaine, our little girly girl, will push by her, and almost dive down any slide, regardless of size.

I guess having your tongue out increases the sensation of speed. After watching Adelaine go down about five times, Ellie figures it is safe and will give it a try.

A sign of things to come.. Ellie, part of the ipod generation. She asked to listen to her “train music” and “Larry Songs” (Silly Songs with Larry).
