The sister dynamic is forming between Hannah and Livie. What I mean by that is, that now that Livie is understanding more and walking and just getting into the toddler phase, she’s starting to really take an interest in Hannah. She still has her moments where she won’t let Hannah get near her and Hannah still gets mad about that and says she wishes she didn’t have a little sister. Then I have to get after her for saying that and explain that Livie is moody sometimes just like she is and it’s all good in the hood.

But then there are days like the past few days that really show me how these girls are gonna be. They’ll be like normal sisters are. They’ll get along most days, fight some days, but love eachother ALL days. That’s all I can really aim for, right? Considering how my relationships are with my sisters….this is actually ideal in my brain. Livie follows Hannah around and tries to be like her.

Hannah isn’t annoyed by this yet so she’ll do silly things and see if Livie will mock her. Then we all laugh when Livie does whatever Hannah’s doing but in her 1 year old way that makes it so cute and entertaining. Last night she decided she was going to mock Hannah’s needle in her solo. This is Hannah’s needle.

This is Livie’s needle.

She did get a leg up but I didn’t get the picture fast enough. Damn camera phones! Needless to say, this all makes Hannah very happy.

I can tell she really enjoys being a role model to her baby sister. I keep telling her eventually Livie will really open up and want to do everything with Hannah and let Hannah carry her around and love all over her like she used to when she was tiny. Right now though, Livie is enjoying her newfound toddlerhood freedom.

So are we.
