I Love You...

Zoë said "I Love You" to her daddy and then to me for the first time.  Took my breath away.

"How do you spell love, asked Piglet.  Pooh answered, "You don't spell it, you feel it." A.A. Milne

23 months and Stringing Beads

The girls turned 23 months old today!  Oh my, I can't believe they will be TWO next month!  Poppi is honing her beading skills as you can see.  She put the beads on all by herself one time before I took this video of her yesterday (03/04/13).  She is so proud of herself and so am I.  Zoë is catching on but still prefers the  written word to all things physical :)

Building Blocks...2/28/2013

Notice when Zoë picks up two blocks that look like letters, she says the letters.  "U" and "S."  She knows all of her letters by sight and some of the sounds that go with them.  She can name them in their correct order or in random order.  Poppi knows them, but prefers to let Zoë say them for her ;)

Poppi's Dance Card - 02/06/2013

Poppi loves music and adores her stuffies and she loves nothing better than to combine the two.  Zoë, on the other hand, prefers intellectual pursuits and can be seen here studying the chemical compounds found in our rug while Poppi prefers to cut it. (Get it :)).

Sometimes All I Need is the Air that I Breathe

And to love you...

Best Friends...

1/11/2013

...sharing an afternoon snack.  I can see them sitting this way when they're old and gray...so sweet.  

P.S.  Yesterday, I took Poppi to the Dr.'s and had my sitter watch Zoë.  The whole time I was gone Poppi asked about "YoYo" and Zoë showed the same concern here at home for Poppi.  Warms my heart to know they will always have each other.
