crazy girls

hannah has become increasingly into her wardrobe this year. i have lost complete control of putting together her outfits. it makes me sad sometimes because she has a ton of cute clothes that she just refuses to wear. she only wants to wear dresses and skirts, and passionately refuses to ever put on pants. most of the time i accept it and try to mostly let her put together her clothes. i try to gently lead her in a different direction if something is horribly clashing. the other day she came out of her room wearing this, complete with an inside-out and backward shirt.

libby's middle name is trouble. she is the funniest little thing. i've mentioned her climbing into the fireplace. her new thing is climbing into this small ottoman that we have in the living room. she takes the top of it off, climbs in and just sits there. the other day, she was standing at the dryer as she does sometimes when i'm unloading it. sometimes she will pull things out too, thinking that she's being a big help. i'd gotten something out and turned my back to fold it. when i turned back around, that stinker was INSIDE of the dryer. she looked so proud of herself. i guess i should have scolded her and gotten her right out but i thought i'd take a picture first because honestly... it was hilarious.

oh, and a walking update: libby has been standing on her own really well this past week. she gets sturdier every day, it seems. she took her first real step in the neighbor's back yard yesterday! i stood her there, and got her to step toward me. i am letting her take her time, though. i'm not ready for her to be such a big girl!
