Getting so old

Both of the girls are getting so old...and so fast. Lola doesn't talk a whole lot, but she has a few words and can usually get her point across. Cast in point: today she walks into Maria's kitchen, opens the cupboard and takes out a bag of rice. She walks it to Maria. Maria asks if she wants rice and Lola emphatically shakes her head yes. A few minutes later, Lola is happy with a big bowl of rice, butter and cheese.

Speaking of eating, Madeline is trying to master her knife skills. She really likes to cut her own food....with plastic play knives nonetheless, but they do the job!
