She's almost 6 months old now, sitting up, laughing at her big sister, and putting all sorts of things in her mouth.
I ran out of room to upload all the summer photos so these aren't quite current - it'll take another blog post to get me caught up. These photos are up till 4 months maybe.
Anyway, we've had a great summer full of sun (and rain) and fun, and 5 weddings.
Salome and Olive are nuts about each other - Salome wants to hold Olive whenever possible, which Olive tolerates till she gets joggled and tipped too much. She could watch Salome all day though, which Salome eats up (she loves an audience.) She sings and dances and jumps on the bed for Olive and Olive gawks with an open-mouthed grin.
We got 3 Auntie Hilly-visits out of the summer, which we all loved, especially Salome. They have a ball together, and Skype keeps Hilly's eyeballs on her growing nieces till the next visit.
We also had one really great extended visit from Aunt Sherry and cousins Daniel and Delani, and then Ammachi, Appachen, and Molly Ammachi in July. Delani and Salome played and fought like sisters and it was great to have the family all together.
Olive is still happy and mellow. She is starting to reach and lean for me when others hold her, but is often happy and content to be in another's arms. For a couple days there, she was growling in response to our growls and very pleased with her trick. We were too.
Salome is still a little firecracker who makes me laugh everyday. The latest comment that made me laugh out loud came when her papa said "Hey Salome should we go look at a stroller for you and Olive that we can take to India this winter?" and she replied, "No, Papa, we need to take an airplane to India."
Yep, probably too far to walk.
