Frenemies


These two are like China and the USA - cautiously friendly toward each other with intermittent acts of aggression. Since Paige learned to scoot she would motor right over to Anna to steal her binky out of her mouth (even though Paige stopped taking a binky way before she learned to scoot). She would not act victorious or pleased with herself, and Anna would not cry or retaliate. Things are starting to change, however, as Anna has learned to assert herself a bit and now steals toys back from Paige, and sometimes you'll even find marks on their faces from where they have physically demonstrated their will (Anna gave Paige a good one the other day). It's hilarious to watch, and for a tiny little thing, Paige packs a mean punch. Don't let the beensy little body fool you.

That is funny, they both look like they are growling.

By the way, to those of you who I complained to last week about Margaret's new personality, well I got my nice baby back today. Thank goodness.

It was just a matter of time! Ah, the realities of life set in early don't they? Babies can be so funny. Amber, I'm glad your nice baby returned. I hope she wasn't gone too long!
