Life at the Calkins': Getting so big!

Modeling Grammy's beautiful handmade sweater one last time... Sorry Grammy, but I think she's grown out of it. Although, we might be able to bring half shirts back into style!

And off with the headband. As soon as it's on... it's off... then...

She try's to put it back on!

What a big girl... No more cubed up little bits of sandwich. This big girl wants to feed the half to herself. Less work for Mommy... woohoo!

And she wasn't going to put her sandwich down for nothing... Not even to take a drink! She thought she was pretty nifty eating a sandwich like the rest of us.

Last bite in! Growing up too fast.. !

And apparently we have an extremely talented Clara :-) Coloring with her toes. Clara got a real kick out of this "cool trick" as she called it.

Clara and Natalie have so much fun holding hands and walking around the house... Today... is dancing! Hopefully there won't be an injury incurred with this fun play. Clara doesn't quite remember that Natalie can't move as fast as her!

This morning... Clara woke up at 5:00am!!!! NOT a typical morning, thanks goodness. She layed in her bed until about 6:00, then let us know, it was good morning time and she wasn't going to lay in bed anymore.... So after some playing in the good old Silverdale Mall play area, she fell asleep in the car. She slept an hour parked in the garage. I woke her up and came into sit in this chair. She fell back asleep on me for another 40 minutes, then I layed her down hoping she would wake up. Nope.... Didn't flinch. Slept for another 30 minutes until forced to rise and shine! She was one tired girl!

Clara and Daddy enjoying the movie Tangled....

Natalie has recently been obsessed with kissing us. It's so sweet, especially since she grabs both sides of our head and pulls us in! We could do without the open mouth part of it though. We have to work on that smacking noise :-)
