Marlo 1 Year 1 Week

I forgot to mention the interesting, new things you are doing last post, so here it is...

Cool Tricks:  You can jump on the trampoline with both feet leaving the ground several times in a row. You give the sweetest kisses and cuddles out of the blue and when people are sad.  You pat Clara on the back when she gets hurt or is sad.  You love to imitate and make us all laugh.

New Words:  mama, dada, rare ra (Clara), Meme (Mandi), bachbach (chicken), fish noise for a fish, bye bye, uh-oh, hi, mmm (when you see yummy food), boon (balloon), mooon, ball, bk (book), up.

5 years; 1 year

Girls, you make my life joyful. It's challenging, tiring, and difficult at times but mostly wonderful.  I love watching you, Clara, blossom into an intelligent, sweet young girl.  You impress me with your complex thoughts, big heart, and your recent maturity.  You are my sunshine.

Marlo, your kisses and laughter and go with the flow nature bring so much life and love to everyone in our little world.  You are busy, curious, and so sweet like your sister.  When you lay your
head down on my shoulder for a cuddle, I melt.

Thank you girls, for being such light in our lives.
