Choices

This is a fun game called "making choices" that we play after breakfast each morning. The girls tend to spit up much less if they stay upright in their bumbos for a while after eating, so I put the toy basket between them and let them play. They end up with piles of toys in front of them, usually with no rhyme or reason, although yesterday, Izzy had a pile of two stuffed monkeys, and a monkey finger puppet. Go figure. It's pretty neat to watch them "decide" which toy they want to play with... obviously, it has a lot to do with which toy is in reach, but some hold their attention longer than others.

The girls' smiles and laughs continue to be the highlights of our days. Izzy is still a lot more liberal with both, although tickling Abby sends her into gales of laughter, and she has a shy/coy smile that she gives to most strangers, which is pretty dang cute. :)

At other times, Abby is a little more serious. Here, she's chillin' on the couch before bedtime, and playing with her feet.

Dad and Izzy had a laugh-a-thon tonight during the Olympics. She had the hiccups, and Dan was mimicking her, which she found HILARIOUS. She thinks mimics are funny in general; when Abby is yelling, sometimes I repeat whatever she's saying, and Izzy just laughs and laughs.
