Fun day

You know Maddie has the hang of this whole "eating" thing when she can even pretend to eat! Her big sister was helping her practice yesterday (click the triangle below to play the video):


Now before you feel too bad for the starving baby who has to eat pretend food, rest assured that she had just finished lunch. A great big lunch of rice cereal, sweet peas, and bananas. No babies were starved in the making of that video.

It's so funny to watch them play together. Of course, they don't always play well together, but they do really seem to like each other. As soon as Maddie gets more mobile they'll have a great time chasing each other.

My Aunt Mary came by yesterday to see us too. Claire instantly adopted her as her new book-reader-extraordinaire and her kid-entertaining skills had me trying to convince her to move in. She was wonderful with the girls and they adored her. It sure was nice to see some family this week.
