We think our kids are hilarious

We seem to be laughing at our kids a lot lately. Annabelle is of course developing her vocabulary and saying fun things, and Ella has no vocabulary and is just funny.

Ella is a little fireball who runs around the house, and loves to sit on things, especially chairs, like she is looking for just the right chair, but she hasn't found it yet! She also loves the word: "goalie...goalie...goalie...goalie...goalie...goalie". This is what she repeats incessantly, most of the time, as she bumbles around, and mostly while she is in her carseat. But Ella's most favorite thing to do is eat! She will eat twice as much as her sister at mealtime and then finish off what Annabelle doesn't eat. Somehow, she remains small, we have no idea where she puts it all.

Annabelle is her blunt little self, and after a quiet car ride home the other day, staring at the back of our heads from her carseat says: "you have a big head daddy", then nothing. Her favorite thing to do currently is to tell jokes, and there are two kinds at the moment:
"Why did the (insert any noun here) cross the road? To get to the other side".....followed by much of her own laughter. And secondly:
"Knock, Knock. Who's there? (insert any noun here) (any noun) who? (noun) again....followed by her own laughter.
Annabelle is also proving to be just like dad as she soaks up whatever she learns. She can write her whole alphabet and numbers 1-10 at age 3 and a half. So mommy and Annabelle are doing "school" together, since she isn't in preschool until next year, and she loves learning!

We gotta dote on our kids every now an then, you know?!
