Sisters

When the Punkin’ came home from the hospital, we felt it necessary to tell our older girls how fragile she was. Sultry Husband talked to them about it, and drew a comparison to an egg. He talked about the shell of an egg and how it was fragile and could be broken easily. I must admit that later on, when one of the girls was getting a little rough with Punkin’, SH yelled from across the house “She’s an egg, an egg, AN EGG!” I laughed for ages.

I thought for sure, as Punkin’ got a little older, the older siblings interest would wane a little. Not so. If anything, they are more interested in making her laugh and smile. I often have to pull L away because she gets a bit over bearing.

The other day, I started rummaging in my old picture files. Looking for anything I may have forgotten to use, and I ran across some pictures of L when she was Punkin’s age. Wow. I couldn’t believe the similarity. Yes, I know that they are sisters, but I swear they look like they could have been twins! Here they are…

L at 9 months

Can you see the difference? Slight though it may be… And now, just because I can’t resist my little bald smiley thing, a picture of M at 9 months to round things out. How could we ever question whether these three are sisters?
