| Rose and Jane still cooking |
Since both Kae and I had both had babies within the last year, plus the fact that we live about 3 hours apart, it had been tough for us to get together. (Still figuring out this traveling with kids thing) Needless to say, I was elated when we finally worked out a date for them to come visit. Can I take a moment to say how absolutely adorable Rose is? I mean look at that face!

| Love her! |
As Kae and I chatted and watched our babies play, I started to realize that Rose is pretty much the opposite of Jane. It makes me laugh how different they are. I love how babies show us they are just little people with likes and dislikes and defined personalities.

Just a few examples of their differences. Jane hated to be on her stomach, so she learned to sit up unassisted around 5 months, but didn't learn to crawl until almost 9 months. Rose is very content on her stomach and is not very interested in sitting up on her own, as a result she is already crawling around at 7 months. Rose will focus on a toy for quite a while on her own. Jane on the other hand won't play with a toy for very long at all if someone isn't right there playing with her. I hope they can be friends despite their differences. :)

| You have a mouth just like me! |
Jane was a little overzealous! She couldn't contain herself. Jane thought Rose was awesome! Rose watched Jane, but was more interested in Jane's toys. Haha! Again, differences.
 |
| Hangin out |
Jane is not used to playing with other babies, so to show her love she kept trying to sit on Rose or roll over on her. Which is how she plays with me and Sam.
 |
| Awww! |
Hey, I actually managed to get everybody in the photo above!
Rose thought Jane was interesting, but would rather Jane keep her distance. Jane's like but I just love you!

| We can both play with this toy! |
They found a couple things they had in common! They both love the walker and the strings on Kae's shirt.
 |
| These strings are the coolest. I think so too! |
No matter where Rose was, Jane wanted to be right there too. Only when I put Jane down for a nap did I actually get to hold Rose without Jane trying play with Rose or sit on her.

Kae and I took a walk around the neighborhood with our girls. It was lovely. I meant to get a picture of us, but forgot. The guys had gotten back with lunch when we returned from our walk, so my mind was on food!

| Little friends! |
I throughly enjoyed getting to swap baby stories with Kae the whole day. It's amazing how much of your conversation is composed of babies once you have one of your own.
I think the one thing that seems to plague all mothers is the battle with sleep. I think we all need to put less pressure on ourselves and not freak out if our kid doesn't sleep like someone else's kid. Just keep trying! Don't get discouraged. Don't be afraid to try something new if it's just not working.

| Tried to fit us all in. :) |
It was a wonderful visit! Hope it will be the first of many playdates for our girls.
Psalm 4:8
I will both lie down peace, and sleep;
For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Proverbs 27:9
Ointment and perfume delight the heart,
And the sweetness of a man's friend gives delight by hearty counsel.
