My child is LOUD.

Everyone knows that Grace Ann is loud. Bless her heart, she is so full of life and she can't really help it. She is just loud. She cried LOUD as a baby, she said her first word at 5 months (no kidding...) she talks NON-STOP, from the time she wakes up in the morning, until about an hour after we put her to bed... and about 12 or 1am, she starts talking again, in her sleep.

Yesterday I had to snap this picture of Harper. It is not staged, I didn't position her hands like this, I promise!

Her fingers are actually plugging her ears! No kidding! Here is the scenario: It was naptime, and I had put Grace in her bed about 30 minutes earlier. Yesterday she was in a particularly talkative mood....at this point, she was STILL running her mouth...very LOUDLY. Harper is pretty smart for a 4 week old. She doesn't even know what she is in for!

Here's another picture for good measure. I love baby eyelashes. They are so delicate and pretty.
