My Little Ladies!

So much going on and so little sleep. Hope's day begins at 4am ugh! I am looking forward to when this changes but in the mean time it is precious time I get to have alone with her until the rest of the troops are up for the day.

Hope is usually down for her first nap around 7:30 and I get at least half an hour alone until Katie is up and ready for her one on one mommy time. Then Hope is up by 8:30 - 9 and the games begin! They are both fascinated with each other and yet both fiercely territorial of mommy! Kate loves 'stealing' touches of Hope when she thinks Hope isn't looking, but Hope could care less, she grabs and pinches and pulls at Kate any chance she can get. Kate yanks herself away and looks at me like, "What's her deal?" Kate keeps handing Hope toys only to yank them back gleefully once Hope accepts them and both girls are guilty of grabbing the other's pacifier right from her mouth! They are certainly getting used to each other but I can already see a future of tea parties and dress-up!!

Both girls take an good 2-3 hour afternoon nap and are in bed by 9pm. I do try and nap with them but feel quite drugged afterward. At 9pm? I pass out... It will get better... I am looking forward to more sleep!
