Fangs!

Our little Karina has been teething on and off for the past month.  The top four are coming in, but at different speeds.  The middle two on the top are taking their time, but the outer two on the top have popped through.  So for now, she has little fangs!  You can barely see them in this picture.

Karina is slowly getting better are being on her tummy but is not crawling yet.  She still doesn't like tummy time.  She sometimes can scootch, but only backwards, which makes her even more frustrated.

This past week was the last session for Eliana's music class.  She has music class once a week at a local music store.  Her teacher is great and loves kids.  The curriculum is a "Kindermusik" series that's designed very well for little kids.  The children learn about loud noises vs. soft noises, fast vs. slow beats, and learn hand motions and dancing too.  A couple of Eliana's friends from church attend this class, also.

Eliana recently got a new slide!  We inherited it from a friend at church whose kids had outgrown it.  It's bigger than her old slide.  She is still mastering the challenge of scampering up the slide.  She's learning that the type of shoes that she's wearing makes a big difference...

Eliana also enjoys pushing her sister on the swing. 

She's also learned to push and then run away so she doesn't get bonked in the head by the swing swinging back.

Karina continues to be a happy baby, giggling and laughing at everything around her.

Here she is again...

Just kidding...  You might have noticed that even though the baby in the picture above is wearing the same sweatshirt, it's not the same baby!  This is actually Eliana when she was 10 months old!  As you can see, they look very similar but also have differences.  Emily says their mouths look different.  Elvin thinks their eyes are different.  For sure their hair is different:  Eliana's hair used to stick straight up whereas Karina's hair is much finer and hangs down.

And here are the sisters in matching jammies, of course!
