Literally, "Daddy's Little Girls". More and More each day I see how much they are just like their daddy.
Lily has always had her daddy's appetite. The amount of purchased produce increases each week we go to the grocery. Lily is a salad eating fool and sometimes twice a day. Ryan can't even eat his salad at night without her mooching half of it. Now when the popcorn comes out she better have her own bowl or she will snatch it right out from under you. Just the other day I sat to watch a few laps of a NASCAR race with Ryan and enjoy some hot popcorn. Before I knew it Lily is next to me and my bowl was swiped from my lap. I looked over and she had a mouth full with her eyes glued to the RACE - JUST LIKE HER DADDY.
And just when I think there's hope for Molly to maybe show traits of being like her mommy I find her "crab-walking" across the living room - JUST LIKE HER DADDY. Ryan never crawled on his hands and knees; it was always hands and feet. Molly seems to prefer "the crab" and she can get going quite fast :)
I must give credit where credit is due. Recently I've needed to pick up more shifts at work; 5 and 6 nights a week now. Ryan comes home from work with just enough time to shower and then I'm running out the door to work. So Daddy is in charge of dinner, baths, and bedtime every night. I have yet to hear him complain. There are nights when I come home to a slumber party in our bed but I can't help but smile when I see them.
Over the weekend we celebrated Lily and Molly's cousins' birthday (Grace, Zachary, and Alexander). They turned 1 !!!! Can't believe how fast time is flying. It is becoming very fun to get all the kids together. Lily and Josie are looking more like "little people" and the babies aren't looking much like babies anymore. They are growing fast and its hard to keep up :)
