Copy Cat

Annabelle was playing with her laptop and Gwyneth was quickly edging her way in to play as well. Annabelle promptly told her "Hold your horses, GG". I was shocked. Where in the world had my sweet little girl learned such a phrase and why was she using it to avoid sharing toys?
Later in the evening Gwyneth decided it was time for her before-bed bottle and really turned on the tears. I skurried to the kitchen to get her bed-time snack and said "Hold your horses, GG". I had to laugh when I saw the big smile on Annabelle's face as she was rubbing Gwyneth's back and saying "Hold your horses, GG. It's coming" over and over.

It's really fun and makes me proud to see the things that Miss Annabelle has learned to mimic from me -- good and bad!

Working on her laptop...

Telling GG "Cheese" and taking her picture...Putting her stuff up high so the little ones can't get to it....

When all else fails & she just don't feel like sharing,

taking her stuff and running...

And most importantly,

being a total cheese-ball when the camera comes out...That's my Annabelle and I love her sass - good and bad!!

Here a few more photos from the evening. The girls had such fun playing together. It was an all girls night as B went to meet some of his friends for a much needed guys-night-out.

It appears Annabelle has a black-eye but nope, that's just spaghetti. I tried to rinse her off but without fully hosing her down she still walked away with half her dinner on her face.

GG now stands up in the middle of the room - doesn't pull up, just stands up. I think she shocks herself and then sits down again. I'm waiting for her to gather the energy to just put one foot in front of the other and walk off. If Annabelle is my copy-cat then GG is Annabelle's.

I can't take enough pictures of those cheeks!!!
