Little girls: sugar, spice, and smiles

Rachel turned 15 months and turned into a little girl - no baby here anymore! She's soooo busy, and she's very into babies (dolls, real babies we pass in the store, etc). She recently acquired one of Carlie's purses, and she instinctively must know that it's a "girl thing".


Here Rachel poses with her very favorite baby and bear. (She wants to sleep with them, plus they usually have to come out of the crib with her too ... Mommy loves them because they are both machine washable!)

Rachel has usually been non-photogenic, but she suddenly learned how to make a very cheesy smile for the camera!

Dressed all pretty for church (we found the bin with Carlie's old clothes in it ... we felt like it was Christmas!).

These two sisters have the neatest bond ... they absolutely adore each other! No wonder Rachel is turning into such a girly-girl with a big sister like Carlie to teach her all about it!
