Oh What Lovely Days!

Oh, what lovely days we have had lately! And, so you know, I borrowed the phrase "lovely" from Abby. She always wakes up with a joyful heart, and one morning out of the blue she said, "it's a lovely morning to spend with family!" We do not know where she learned it, but we loved it! And she was speaking truth! Abigail is in the sweetest stage. She is truly a pleasure to be around. And Katie is talking and singing nonstop... and thinking about walking. Abigail is loving that she can really communicate with her sister now. She asks Katie questions, and Katie responds with "hmmm hmmm" or "uh uh"... Abigail loves it so much that she will ask the same question over and over until they both burst out laughing. They also get a kick out of the "Katie - Abby" cup game. Abby has been mimicking my efforts to keep the ownership of their cups straight by pointing at each of their cups, saying "Katie... Abby...Katie...Abby" Then, Katie will copy Abby by pointing at the cups back and forth... And she still calls her sister "Baba". She usually wakes up earlier than her sister at nap time, and if I take my eyes off her, she ends up in front of Abby's door, hollering "Baba! Baba!" and then lets forth tons of squealing and laughing when Abby wakes up and opens her door. We are drinking deeply of the precious moments around here...what lovely days, indeed!
