Sisters

Let the sister stories begin! I think the sister relationship is one of the best ones you can have. The ups, downs, drama, fights, and tears you get to share with your female sibling are something special. I love being and having a sister and am excited to watch Elsie and Margot figure out their sisterhood. Here's a few of my favorite recent E&M sister moments...

• Elsie playing peek-a-boo with Margot, which of course Margot finds hilarious.
• When Margot starts crying Elsie says, "It's OK sister, I'd love to help you!" as she shoves a nuk into Margot's mouth.
• Margot pulling Elsie's hair the way only a 5-month old testing out her new ability to grab can. Let's just say Elsie was NOT happy and I found the situation a little too funny :)
• I love how many pictures we have of Margot looking at Elsie. It's almost impossible right now to get a photo of both girls looking at the camera because Margot is so in awe of her big sister.

Margot laughs just about any time Elsie looks at her!

Look...two smiley girls!

I'm Five Months Old!

Hi! It's Margot doing the latest blog entry. My mom talks about Elsie way too much on this thing, so I'm taking over for today. Yes, it's true, I'm five months old today and I'm the cutest baby ever. So here's the latest dish on me...I'm enjoying rice cereal, apple sauce, pees and sweet potatoes. I love to attack the spoon and make a big mess. I can roll over from my tummy to back and back to tummy but only when I want to which isn't very often. I LOVE my toes! They taste great and are always around for me to play with. When I'm not eating, sleeping or sucking on my toes I enjoy a good game of peek-a-boo and of course watching Elsie. She is so interesting!

Love having my saucer time.
My parents said this is me doing my Fonzie impersonation (whatever that means).

See...I told you I was really cute!

A New Year Tradition

One of the things I love about being a family is starting new traditions. Here’s my latest…take a picture each New Years with our family holding onto numbers for the year. Now the tricky part will be to remember to do this next year.

Here's our resolutions for 2010:
Margot – To sleep through the night. I know my mom would really appreciate this and maybe she would decrease her coffee consumption.
Elsie – To find a new outlet for my anger. Currently I throw things, which I know makes my mom secretly laugh, but she says throwing things is not a good way to deal with my feelings.
Sören – To delegate more work
Anne – In response to Sören’s resolution, I resolve to say no when people ask me to do things I don’t have time to do.
