Sisters.

Grace, moving fast!

Faith a.k.a. Little Miss Dimples.

Jumping off their chairs.

With one week to go, here's on update on what Faith and Grace are up to these days...

Faith, over the last few months has become a bit shy with strangers. She used to be more social and easy-going . She will often hang on to daddy until she feels comfortable. She is still active around the house and loves to climb things and turn on/off any light switches that she can reach. She has a detailed mind and when she starts a task, she spends her time figuring things out. She's our little engineer. Faith also loves to read books and is keenly aware of her surroundings and how best to use them to her advantage (grandparents). She's pretty coordinated so she rarely hurts herself and can practically put on and take off her own clothes. She's still the ring leader at home.

Grace has become quite the social butterfly. She will often go up to a group of people she doesn't know and give hugs to the kids. She is also way more talkative these days. She's verbal, musical, and extremely out-going. She repeats anything you ask her and still loves to dance whenever she hears music. She wakes up singing her ABC's! She gets easily frustrated when she can't figure something out and is rarely seen at home without her jewelry, baby, or beloved bunny and froggy. Grace also loves affection and attention. She often melts our hearts with unsolicited "I love you's."

Although they copy one another all the time, (for example... one coughs and the other immediately follows), their personalities remain different. They play well together for the most part. We are so thankful that they have each other! I have often witnessed them sharing their toys, giggling hysterically underneath the kitchen table, and kissing each other's "ouwies."

Faith weighs 30 lbs. and Grace is catching up at 29 lbs. I haven't measured their height lately but Grace remains slightly shorter than Faith. They still LOVE to eat just about anything. It is really nice that they can feed themselves now. Lately, when I ask them how old they're going to be, they reply by saying, "TWO!" It's very cute.

Life is busy, can be crazy at times, but definitely fun and full of surprises! It's awesome to watch our daughters grow, learn new things and change everyday. I am so blessed and grateful to be a stay-at-home mom.
