girlfriend or girl friend?

I've had the tremendous blessing to watch our friends little girl, Anna Grace. CJ met her in his class at church and introduced us to her mommy and daddy. They have become wonderful friends, and I love how these two play together and get along so well.

I love how they share...


"Here you go Anna Grace," says CJ.


"OK, be careful with it. It is one of my favorite toys."


"Thanks for sharing CJ. You can have it back now," says Anna Grace.


"Thanks friend," says CJ.


"Your turn mama. I want to share with you now," says CJ


And when things get a little boring, what better to captivate two little ones than Connor dog??? They both love her so much. Whenever she makes a noise, Anna Grace will snap her head around and look for her. It is so cute. When both little ones are here, Connor is typically on the other side of the baby gate in the background of the picture, but this day she came to play for a little bit. One baby crawling, one baby walking and crawling and Connor in the middle of it all is a little much for mom.




And I love this series of shots. They are off to the races. Anna Grace has a little bit of a head start, but who will make it first?


She's still ahead, but CJ is catching up...


It's getting closer folks...this may be a photo finish...


A dead heat to the top of the ottoman. This one is a nail biter!


Looks like CJ is a little faster on the pull up.


And he comes from behind to win by a hair!


But really, isn't she beautiful? Look at those lashes!


And that sweet, sweet smile.


One of their favorite things to do is play with this Leapfrog table. My mom got it for CJ while we were in Tennessee, and it has been so fun for them. They do a great job at staying out of each other's way and playing nice. They are just so good together.


And I love this incredible hulk lording over the princess picture.


But they were quickly back to playing together.



But of all the pictures I have taken of the two of them, these are my favorite. I really need a professional photographer to follow the three of us around. They are constantly doing cute things, and by the time I get my camera, the moment is gone. Luckily, I had my camera for this.

Anna Grace gives CJ a smooch on the face...


And he gives her one right back. Precious.
