The girls in action

We've been having fun with our two sweethearts. They are interacting a lot more together, with Lucy giving Clara kisses, making her laugh, playing peekaboo, etc. Today Lucy and Matt were coming downstairs and Clara craned her neck in the direction of their voices, then twisted her body around as they got closer, and then exclaimed a happy "ehhhh" once she saw them.
If you magnify this picture you can see Clara's two front teeth, which she's had since late June!

Lucy has been taking swimming lessons the past week and a half. She's learning lots of skills, like kicking and scooping, back floats, front floats, blowing bubbles, etc. She has a blast with the teachers and other kids.

Grocery bag girl!

Running at the ocean.

Clara is sitting up really well these days. She's also working on crawling- she can get onto her hands and knees and then rocks back and forth, often clearly frustrated that she can't move forward.

And now for a few videos Silliness with Lucy.

Lucy dancing at a fair in my aunt's town last weekend. The bluegrass music was awesome.

And here's a longish video of Clara talking/banging. She's so expressive.
