Bella's reached that awkward age, where her smiles for the camera look forced (because they are) and her teeth are a mix of baby and adult teeth. She's also far more camera shy than she used to be; so nailing her down for a picture can be difficult.
Genevieve, on the other hand, loves loves loves to be the center of attention, and will pose like a goofball for the camera until she gets bored. Getting her to actually smile and not be a goofball is the tricky part. She's mid-dance here.
In a family of introverts, Bella makes sense to me. I don't know how Jason and I produced a little extrovert, but we did. Where Bella loves to sit and quietly look at books and can get lost in her own little world, Genevieve loves to twirl around and tell stories and boss everybody she can. I think Bella helps encourage Genevieve to sit still and focus on things, and Genevieve encourages Bella to let loose and be silly and put on princess shows.
They love each other fiercely, fight like cats and dogs, and make my heart happy every day. I'm so blessed to be these girls' Mommy.
