Loving this phase!

To remember how R is at 3 1/2 years -- she loves everything princess. She also loves to color, to play with her polly pockets, to climb anything and everything, especially our swing set. She is very sweet with her younger sister. She is very verbal and a good thinker -- coming up with ideas for how to solve problems she encounters or how to negotiate with Mom and Dad. She gets very excited about things, and is just a happy girl. A big source of joy in our home.

Cinderella in her cleaning dress -- she asked to clean!!:

Just after getting the hula hoop to swing around her for the first time:

Resting on our hike:

A drawing of a playground -- she was so proud of how she drew each individual flower on the bottom:

To remember how E is at 15 months -- she loves outside, constantly opening the back door. She loves her sister and whatever Rainey is doing, but she also needs her space. Has an opinion, and really lets you know she's unhappy when she doesn't get her way. A bit of a picky eater. Repeats a lot of words, understands a ton, does a lot of "talking" as she toddles around the house finding various things to hold or dump. A pretty relaxed, but busy girl -- especially loves to repeat actions, such as climbing onto the fire truck and then back off over and over again. She kills me -- she's definitely a Mama's girl for now. Another big source of joy in our home.

She loves balls:

Tired girl, obsessed with this necklace:

"Talking" to me:

Had to paint with Rainey:

Wanted to "weed" just like Mom and Rainey:
