randoms from our august 2012

eleanore and claire were goofin during lunch. ellie was laying sideways and was eating. and claire was smiling while closing her eyes.

car lineup.

trying to keep sisters away from this line up is a full time job.

charlie trying on his suit for dan and meg’s wedding. looking sharp!

he was jacked up. I am not really sure how he will perform this weekend. either way he will look handsome.

smokin’ shoes!

one morning charlie was sitting in the sunlight to warm up. ellie picked up a book and tried to sit on his lap for him to read it. he was not amused – I thought it was precious! claire was trying to get his attention.

think we watch T.V. after lunch much? sadly, they only stay this still for 4 minutes.

although the girls are now 17 months they are still not talking all that much. a few words here and there. they will repeat some words. but mostly things are a jumbled mess. ellie is almost always walking around saying “aBAHadi”, which would be great if I knew what it meant. she also says “MEM!". even if I am not around she will start saying “MEM! mem! MEM!” louder and louder to announce that she wants something. claire is most often saying “GOoooo" or “da”. she demands less than ellie and I am not sure if that is just her nature or if ellie does the talking for her. they do babble back and forth ALL.THE.TIME.  I need to be more diligent about asking them to repeat me and to ask for what they want. otherwise they will be 2 and still not saying much!
