My girls just keep getting bigger and older! I took these for Annabelle’s 18 month pictures. I absolutely love this age! She’s still a baby but so much of her personality is coming out. She’s getting more and more silly, which is so fun. She loves Clara, of course, but also loves bothering her, which I (sometimes) find hilarious. How does she know to be an annoying little sister at 18 months?

Annabelle is still very attached to me. It sometimes makes me a little bit crazy, but I try to tell myself that one day she’ll be kicking me out of her room and then I’ll miss when she wanted me to hold her constantly.

Annabelle ALWAYS has a lovey (or, as she calls it, her yuh-YAY!) with her.

My loveys with their loveys!

I was encouraging (or bribing) Annabelle to cooperate with pictures by offering her candy. Clara was being very cooperative, Annabelle…not so much. She figured out that she got candy after hugging Clara, so she’d literally run over, hug Clara, and then push her away in her haste to get to the candy.

And just for fun…here are both of my girls at 18 months. I’m not entirely sure what I was thinking when I edited this picture of Clara (I promise she was not this interesting shade of orange in real life), but it’s fun to see how my photography has progressed over the last 20 months!

Happy 18 months to my sweet Annabelle!
