A few of their favorite things...

Three and a half months, and they are beginning to show distinct preferences for certain toys. And not only do they seem so old when playing in this mature way, but they are quite cute (of course). The most adorable are the way they interact with their preferred stuffed animals. When given her lion, Cora loves to run her fingers along its mane, and to gently feel its fur (it also does wonders to help her get to sleep). If you hold the bunny in front of Evaline, she'll bring both of her arms up and encircle it and bring it in for a hug (as with Cora and her lion, this bunny is a great sleep/comfort tool).

It's been fun to watch them begin to interact with the "outside" world. The green and red ball (pictured below) seems to be a particularly great toy (thanks Steph!!) - its super easy to grasp, and they've begun to switch hands with it and pick it up off the floor independently of us!

Here's the evidence:

Cora with her lion:


Evaline with her bunny:


Cora with her rattle:


Evaline with her keys:


And the girls with the aforementioned ball (Cora first, then Evaline):



And if the title of this post is "favorite things," we should probably include one of our favorite things...some bellies, just for fun:
