Arabella's 8 months old!

I missed 7 months old. :[ But I missed a few months with Hadassah, too, so I don't think I'm doing too bad! Especially since everyone says you don't take many pictures of 2nd kiddos. :D Here are Arabella's 8 months pictures:

 This lovely little girl turned 8 months a few days ago. She LOVES eating, can say mama and dada (while looking at each of us), can crawl and pull on up things, and adores her big sister. She is an enormous joy to have in our lives, and I am so glad to be her mommy!



She LOVES pulling up on things now. LOVES IT. I don't think she does much else most of the time except yell at me, chase me, and pull up on EVERYTHING. :D 


 Here's a great teething demo. :D She just popped out one of the two top front teeth, and she's getting ready to cut the second. My immense lack of sleep the last two days is demonstrative of that. :P
 These are funny because they look like she's taking a selfie, but really she's just trying to steal the camera. ;]

 And the Arabella stare. :) Ha!

Now for my almost 2, going on angsty teenager, Hadassah. She was a LOT more obliging than usual, but any time I tried to take a picture of her doing something she stopped and threw whatever it was she was doing (harmonica, glasses). It was cute, but her expressions definitely resemble a teenager, uninterested in taking pictures. Ha! Hadassah is only one month away from turning the big 0-2! She loves fruit, running, chocolate milk, saying "let's go!!" and playing! She is such an ENORMOUS joy to have in our lives. :D

 I love that slight smile. :] And that she's posing for the picture with her glasses on her head. :D

 Here she's ditching the glasses.    The harmonica is one of her favorite things. She used to just hum into it, but she's finally getting the hang of blowing into now!

She makes this face when she doesn't want to be photographed... and when she doesn't like me telling her to stop doing something. 


And here, without further ado, are some pictures of my little ladies together. :D

 Hadassah clearly doesn't want Arabella up on her chair...

 Just after these pictures, though, she gives her a kiss that my camera missed. :D

 Teaching sister to play harmonica.............................. and then playing it herself! :D

 Oh my, that little smile...
 and that one. :] And A's face here is priceless. Ha!
H has had enough, but A loves to smile! :D
