07/20/2005 Archived Entry: "in which I run on about my girls"

Tabitha: My darling girl has been replaced by a sassy 13 year old. Loads of fun in that respect. Actually, sassy isn't the right word as she's not a rude back-talker by any means. She is very into eyerolls and sighs. One day I asked her what her particular sigh was about since it seemed misplaced and she actually said she was just being dramatic. At least she's honest. Tonight I had yet another person tell me how fun she is to watch on stage. My child may not be the best dancer but she sure does garner a lot of attention. Mainly because she just looks like she's having fun, which she is. She gets very into it all which is a good thing. If she can fine tune her dancing she should do well in competition in a few years. She is getting more beautiful everyday and it is a delight to do photo sessions with her.

Daisy: The baby now rolls onto her stomach in her sleep. Fine, except she absolutely abhors waking up in the position which is why she doesn't sleep on Chris or me. She will sleep for an hour or so and then wake up pretty pissed. One of us just rolls her onto her back and many times that's enough for her to go back to sleep. Gone are the days of her sleeping all night though and man do I miss them. She just can't make it through the night without eating though, we'll see if that changes back once she's eating solids next month. We've always called her our chameleon and the name still fits. She had a darker tone than all the rest of us but at four months she suddenly became pale and her face changed. Tonight as I looked at her, her old face was back. She's like a quick change artist. I can't wait to figure out her hair color. It's impossible to tell now despite the fact that she is not bald. She just never looks the same as she did the day before. She has learned to love the camera as her sister has, though much earlier. She actually cries when I put the camera away. When I pull it out, she doesn't just smile, she poses. I will never be caught up in scrapbooking with two such willing subjects.
