getting to know you

Lately you girls have been talking to each other a lot, and LOUD.  It is the CUTEST darn thing to watch on the planet! While you are talking, one or both of you will situate yourself sideways so that you can kick the other.  The funny thing is that neither one of you seems to mind! A few days ago, I went into the kitchen for a minute and came back to find Olivia kicking Abby in the belly.  I moved you back to being far apart, and went into the kitchen again.  When I came back (literally one minute later), Abby was kicking Olivia in the face! Don't worry, Livi didn't mind-she was just trying to get Abbi to hold her feet still so she could eat her toes:)

Speaking of 'getting to know you'...we have been singing my favorite songs from movie, 'The Sound of Music' lately.  You love love it! You even stopped crying in the car when I started singing them to you.  Our favorites are:

"Do, a deer, a female deer,
rae-a drop of golden sun.
Me, a name I call myself,
fa-a long long way to run. 
So, a needle pulling thread,
la-a note to follow so,
Ti, a drink with jam and bread......"

and

"raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with string;
these are a few of my favorite things.
girls in white dresses with blue satten sashes, 
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
silver white winters that melt into spring........."
