Happy

I have lots of Grace and Charlotte pictures from last week that I haven't had a chance to look at. Here are two of them. Grace has been pretty sick and is finally feeling better. I looked at her yesterday and thought she looked older. I think she has lost weight (4 days of nothing but water will do that to you) and her face has lost some of that pudginess. I realize the baby fat pudginess is on the decline anyway. I have a hard time imagining her as a skinny little kid running around like Charlotte, but those days will be here awfully soon.

One thing I love about Grace right now the way she curls her legs up around my side when I carry her and sits right in the crook of my elbow and wraps her arm around and holds onto my shirt behind my back. This soft and cuddly ball of baby fat riding on my hip. And in my peripheral vision there are those saucers she calls eyes peering out watching the world go by. I am not very good at describing it, but I wanted to note it down because she is growing so fast. I haven't figured out how to capture a photograph of it yet.


Charlotte thought she was being very tricky, running around the corner out of my sight and then charging back in and yelling "Ta Da!".
