Sisters, Sisters...

...there were never such devoted sisters. That's how the song goes from one of EJ's favorite holiday movies, White Christmas. That's what I think of when I look at this picture. Sophie loves her big sister SO MUCH. Her face lights up when EJ walks in the room or gets off the bus in the afternoon. The last few nights after dinner, we've let EJ chase Sophie and I around the house. Sophie just squeals and giggles with delight, kicking and bouncing all the way. She gives EJ lots of hugs and kisses. She's been very snuggly the last few weeks...lots of big hugs, sloppy open-mouthed kisses (complete with formula breath!), and she just can't blow a single kiss - you always get at least four or five. And of course, EJ loves her little sister too...she loves to play with her and helps to take care of her.



And speaking of formula, the doctor gave us the clearance to move Sophie to milk. We are not quite halfway through the last can of formula, and as all you mothers of infants can relate to, we are thrilled to have a few more $$ in our pockets every month. Can you believe that stuff costs $23 a can, and we go through a can every 5 days?!?! And a $23 can only makes about 150 ounces. And you thought the cost of gasoline was high.


Sophie is also tired and bored with her baby food; she pushes it away. Luckily, we don't have a lot of it left. She has been eating anything and everything that we eat, cut up into very teeny tiny pieces until those teeth come in. Tonight, she enjoyed the pork roast and mashed potatoes more than her sister did.
