The Chickpea & The Peanut: Part Three

I thought we happily filled our cute quota for each day just living with our wee Scout. But watch out world, The Chickpea and The Peanut are here and they're throwing their cute selves around like there's no tomorrow.

It snowed during Ava and Alex's visit which was great fun. Ava had never seen snow before, so it was a blast watching her explore this chilly, fluffy and (apparently) tasty stuff.



While Ava frolicked and squealed, Stella did some exploring of her own. Now, whenever she sees snow, she loudly proclaims, "EAT!"

Back in the cozy warmth of the house, we stumbled upon this scene. Hmmmmm........

I guess the girls wanted to help make dinner. (They ended up pulling out mayonnaise, gnocchi and barbecue sauce. Ooooh. Yum.)

Bath time started out pretty mellow. The girls frankly seemed a bit oblivious that they were in the bathtub together.

But they soon realized two is better than one. Grooming secrets were shared.

Okay, so naked babies are cutie patooties, right? Well, throw two exuberant (aka hyper) toddlers together, remove clothes and you have unabashed joy. The girls had a blast jumping on the bed: Ava kept running around in circles singing one verse of "No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" over and over while Stella deftly devised and executed her plan to tackle and hug Ava. Be sure to check out Ava's blog in the coming days. I'm sure Alex will have posted more photos and possibly a video of this hysterical scene.

I really think Stella was in heaven here. Bonding with her new buddy, being "nekid" as she calls it and getting to jump on the bed? Heaven. Look at her face above. She's totally blissed out, silly girl.

And then they crashed...

Sweet babies.

Thank you, Alex and Ava, for taking the time to visit. We feel so blessed to have you in our lives and to be raising such awesome girls at the same time. We love you to the moon!
