Today I am thankful for the love that my girls have for one another. Since I have three sisters, I know sisterly love pretty well. These two are full of love for one another. Annie's love never wavers. Lucy's shakes a bit when Annie is trying to touch something that is off limits in her little mind, but she always comes back around and does all kinds of things to make Annie happy. For instance, today Lucy had just woken up from her nap. Justin and Annie were outside. Justin set Annie on the front porch by Lucy and me. Lucy was still in her wake up process, so she was snuggling in my lap. All of the sudden, she hopped up and said, "I'll be right back Momma. I go get Annie some toys." It was so sweet. She just knew that Annie would love to have something to play with while we all sat outside. Annie goes crazy every time she sees Lucy. She is obsessed with her sissy and watches every move she makes. I love watching them together.

Annie had her top left tooth come in - the one next to the middle two. I know that the right side is moments away. Yippee!! Two more down. We had another awesome day at therapy. We talked more in depth about the feeding issues and I know that S can tell that the feeding stuff is stressing me out. She showed me exactly how she would approach a feeding with Annie. It was so fun and nonstressful and once Annie started to reach her limits, she said that was it. Back away. S is really great. She made me feel much more at ease about my ability of working with Annie on these things. She also said that based on the great progress Annie is making with the relaxing that she thinks that crawling is not too far away!! Isn't that exciting?!?! It is to me. She is making such huge strides.

We had one of the most beautiful afternoons today. Annie was naked outside all afternoon. It was a temperature where you could not feel the air. Perfect - no feeling of being hot or cold. Love it. We spent the entire afternoon outside and went back out after dinner. Justin obviously took the pics of me with the girls and he did a great job, huh? It was just a great day for us all.

I took a zillion pictures today and included a ton in this post. Too hard to choose my very favorites. Working on sun flare, which is a favorite of mine in pictures, and it is not easy. I am going to just keep practicing until I get it. I also started playing with macro photography today, which is something else that has always been inspiring to me. It also is not nearly as easy as I thought it would be. I love having something new to practice.















She loves to suck on my chin.
