Lately, this has been one of Elle's favorite past times...she really likes her fist.
Doesn't Joy look happy with pudding all over her face...she heard that it is really good for your skin.
Opening your mouth is what you do for the camera, right?
Here Joy is opening a little gift celebrating her one year anniversary of being part of our family.
Elle is starting to enjoy hanging around on a blanket. Sometimes her eyes get so big.
Here Joy is showing a new skill...she can take things to the sink after she is finished with them.
Elle has fallen asleep in the middle of play with her giraffe in her hand.
I love this little look on Elle's face...it makes me think of her grandpa.
Joy enjoying one of her favorite activities...food...and fruit snacks are certainly up at the top of best choices.
What a goofy grin...but don't you love it. I know I do!or perhaps more acurately, grandma thought it was way past time for more
pics...so, here they are:
So here is Elle, showing off that sweet smile. 
Joy got a horsie, plus a new rain coat...what could be a better combo than ride
'em cowboy in your jammies and your neat coat?
Maybe ride 'em cowboy in your new cowgirl hat!?
Hmmmm...what does this do?
Elle had to model her new outfit. She is sitting on our little love seat
that is no more. It met with a tragic end...two broken legs.
Thankfully, no one was hurt while breaking the love seat.
Strangling is one of the 5 love languages, isn't it? Yep, physical touch.
Another modeling moment.
This is what happens when papa watches Joy all day...she gets to try adventerous
new things. This time it was shaving cream...we decided whipped cream
would be better for next time.
This picture shows off Joy's favorite coat a bit better. She was having a
moment, but she is still cute.
Below she is offering one of her melt your heart smiles.
Joy didn't want to be left out, so here she is having a drink of water at her table.
The rest of the pictures are for grandma who bought these sweet little outfits for the girls for their first Valentine's day as part of our family. Thanks grandma/mama.
Now she can watch what comes out of her mouth. :o)
Ahhh...they're cuddling.
Those smiles melt my heart.
Had to show off the sweater and the cute look.
Another modeling moment.
Here Joy is opening one of her gifts on Christmas morning.
Papa is putting together his first kid's toy.
Joy is sitting at her table reading a fun book.
Elle has just started smiling...here she is showing off for us!
More smiles.
What a sweet girl!
Joy mixing it up in her kitchen.
What a happy smile.
She's turning on the water to wash something.
Elle at 3 months in the outfit I wore for my 3 month picture.
Here she is in what my sister wore for her 3 month pic.
Joy's hair is finally long enough for pigtails and I had to get a shot.
Here is another one....so cute!
Just had to share this picture of Joy walking around with her bear and her blankie.
