What are sisters for?

Keira is starting to get to the age where she really can be helpful and I don't have to just humor her. She loves to clean, clean, clean! But... as you can see she can also make a real mess.

I let her feed Kaelyn all by herself for the very first time. I showed her how to put just enough on the spoon, avoid gagging her, and how to hold Kaelyn's hand out of the way after getting a mouthful of food. She has started getting in to the habit of sticking her fist in her mouth, then wiping food everywhere.

I think they were both happy, but Kaelyn was considerably more messy after eating than when Jed or I feed her! In fact, it led to her first bath in two months. Yes, you read that right- two months. She gets cleaned up everyday, but I have avoided fully submersing her in water for quite a long time. She has eczema and not much hair, so bathing just hasn't seemed all that important. But after this sweet potato mess, it was definitely urgent!

If you're wanting to call CPS on me, you can't because I'm in South America :)

My sweet baby girl just turned 8 months old on the 22nd. She is growing up so quickly. I love my girls!!
