Sister Snapshot

These girls, they are my whole world. They are all growing like weeds, time is passing at light speed & I am just trying not to miss anything. Which is mostly impossible because I am usually in a total frazzled-sleep-deprived-fog, but you get the point ;)
A little update for each of my sweet babies as we near Claire's first birthday. 

Harper // 4 years, 4 months

All of a sudden she is so grown up, it is so bittersweet to see my first born become such a big girl. She is my little sidekick, always helping me with everything & taking such good care of her sisters. She wakes up before me & comes downstairs to turn on cartoons, our remote has a voice feature where she can push the microphone button & say what show she wants to watch. I can always hear her saying "please play sofia the first" which makes me laugh from my bed because it is so her personality to say please to the remote. ;) She amazes me every day with the things she remembers or figures out on her own, she makes up jokes & songs, sings lullabies to Claire before bed & is teaching Eloise how to draw things and color in the lines. She wants to be an artist when she grows up. My little bestie.

Eloise // 2 years, 1 month

Dreamer, schemer & captain crunch addict. Her age & personality are still just the best right now, three kids later and my favorite stage is still hearing their new words & listening to them learn how to say things. Favorite expressions are "oh my goodness!" and "hold you!" Currently repeats the alphabet as "s" "ess!" "t" "tee!" "u" "ME!" She exhausts me & wears me down, yet totally makes my heart so completely full at the same time. She loves to sing, dance & make everyone laugh. She is a blanket hoarder, just like me, and her favorite place to be is on my lap. She wants to do everything Harper does, including sleeping in her bed.  We are excited to get her a big girl bed too, but should probably wait like six more years. ;) 

Claire // 11 months

It really is unbelievable to me that baby Claire is going to be one already in just a few weeks. This has been the fastest first year ever! We love just soaking up all of her baby-isms, like how she sits with her ankles crossed (just like Harper used to do) & loves to be rocked to sleep. She was a late crawler, and is not yet pulling herself up or attempting to stand yet, which we are more than okay with me. Her favorite foods are sweet potatoes (roasted), blueberries, bananas & pasta. Carbs of any kind are her jam. Jam is also her jam. Favorite activities include throwing her sippy cup on the floor, splashing in the bathtub & pulling her sisters' hair. Cute as a button, sweet as a peach. Still sleeps like shit. ;)
