A Walk in the Park

Every day that the weather is nice, we try to get out to take a walk around the neighborhood. There is always something interesting for the girls to look at, the fresh air is great, and Nina loves to ride her tricycle and Lyla loves to ride in in the car. Since it was such a nice day today, I decided to take my camera with me, so I ended up getting some pictures of the girls when we stopped to play on the rocks. Nina is doing quite well these days. She still has a ton of energy, asks what seem like hundreds of questions a day, and still has the strong will she's had since she was a baby. Lyla is doing good as well. She refuses all baby food anymore and uses those six little teeth to try to eat anything that Nina is eating. She is also a bit more of a rascal now than she used to be. She's figured out some buttons to push to antagonize her sister, and she seems to be quite adept at doing so these days. Most all of it is done with the knowing/coy smile, so we're quite sure she knows exactly what she's up to...as all younger sisters do!

Also, Nina is still quite the fashionista in training (as are probably the majority of little girls this age). EVERYTHING has to match. I'm talking about even the slightest things... Dresses are always the preferred item for the day, and right now the #2 way to her heart is to compliment her outfit (#1 being offering her candy)!
