Water Babies

Here are two quick videos of Caroline and Sophia at the pool. Both girls had an especially good time in the water today and are taking terrific afternoon naps as a result!

Love Me Some Corn

We've found another food that Caroline loves: corn on the cob. Here's a video of her chowing down at one of the reunion dinners. Right at the beginning you can see how she originally has the ear pinned to the floor for extra efficient eating.

Caroline and Sophia

Caroline and I are currently in Georgia, attending the DeNiro family reunion. Most of the DeNiros from Ohio and elsewhere came down too and we've been busy eating, drinking, swimming, and enjoying each other's company. Caroline has been getting reacquainted with her favorite (and only) cousins, Landon and Sophia. Caroline and Sophia have been busy doing "girl" things like pushing a baby doll in a stroller, coordinating their outfits with bows, and of course, cat fighting.
Although I'm sure Caroline and Sophia will get along swimmingly one day and be the best of friends...today is not that day. Sure, the girls like each other, but only so long as there are plenty of toys to go around and one single toy is not coveted by both girls at the very same moment. Caroline has perfected the arms crossed pout and is able to dissolve into tears within seconds if needed. Sophia, with a little more street smarts under her belt, is an expert at hand to face combat, and if absolutely necessary, wielding all 12 of her baby teeth in order to win a toy.

Case in point: the Mickey Mouse ride on toy. It is a highly coveted item. The picture below show what happens when one girl gets it and the other doesn't.




Caroline has really been enjoying the pools at Big Canoe...
