Alley Oops: And Suddenly, It's December

It's been really nice to have a few days of down time the last few weeks. I'm trying to savor them as things pick up for the holidays and then our winter travel and activity schedule. And of course I'm trying to soak up every minute of this little lady while she's still a squishy baby. She's following in her siblings' footsteps by enjoying the exersaucer for about 5 minutes, then being over it. It's that whole "bearing-weight-on-their-legs" thing that none of them have been fans of. Good thing it's easy to make her smile.

Brooke decided she wanted to have a tea party one afternoon, so we obliged her. It was very fancy, if you can't tell. Guess who got to play the role of "servant"?

They continue on the trend of playing really well together about half the time and literally fighting another quarter of the time. The other quarter, they ignore each other.

This little girl is also getting the hang of sitting up. This was taken at an inopportune time, for the record.

Miles wanted to sit in a Boppy, too.

She's also joining us at the counter and table for meals, when she's up. She's still eating solid meals about twice a day. As I write this, I'm fully aware that I'm being overdramatic, but I can't look at the picture below without fast-forwarding ten years and picturing them eating breakfast before rmiddle school. And knowing that time's going to go SO fast. Because it already is.
