They play together, not in a real sense of course, but Claire is ever-eager to help her little sister do or get anything. She wants to show her everything about her world and how it works and Charlotte just soaks it all up wide-eyed and open-mouthed, as babies do.
In these moments, I sometimes feel like the aperture of my future opens itself just a tiny, tiny bit, and I get a half-second look at the lovely things ahead of us.
The last one? Of the feet! I just exploded.

Sooooo cute!
Margaret gives Paul her favorite dolls to comfort him when he's crying and it's so sweet I just about cry.

That last pic makes me want to have another.

I totally have a picture like that second one, of Kalena laying with Will on his play mat. It was one of the very first times they "played" together and I thought-- Yes. This is why I want for my kids.
It just gets better.

I know exactly how you feel! Those first 6 months or so with two were the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm not even kidding. It was ROUGH. But once Audrey got old enough to 'play' a little bit, it made all the difference. Watching the two of them together is the most amazing thing ever. Audrey thinks Maggie hung the moon, and Maggie LOVES having a captive audience for her antics ;) I know soon they'll be fighting over toys and arguing, but I don't care. The fact that they have each other makes me so happy. Awesome.

The photo of the feet is too sweet for words. Love it.

That bottom photo. The feet. The FEET! You have killed me with the sweetness. One of my friends just said "one of the best sounds in the world is hearing your children make each other laugh."
