Being More Sisterly

Except for Georgia not knowing her own strength, the girls are really starting to interact and play with each other. Darby of course loves Georgia and Georgia loves Darby about half the time. Darby has learned some great words form Georgia like "no" and "mine" and even "my," as in "my straw." Darby's vocabulary is truly impressive and at this time there is so much she says I have lost count. Last week she started combining two words such as "hold frog" and the aforementioned "my straw/cup/shirt/shoe/ice/ball/keys/phone" or whatever she has that anyone is trying to take(see below photo in which I was trying to clean out my car).

Darby loves books and is especially fond of books about deification. Everybody poops is her favorite and she says "poo poo" over and over as it is being read. Georgia has moved on to more advanced concepts like learning the letters and she is trying so hard but it hasn't quite clicked. She is my more left-brained child and loves art and playing with Play-do. She is so creative and I have recently heard her role playing out loud by herself which is so fun to see.

Darby still eats everything you put in front of her as well as nursing 5 to 7 times a day. They are both just so much fun and I wake up everyday excited to see what they will teach me and how they will test me. I am never disappointed by what I learn or how much I am tested.
