Things are changing fast in the Horst household as our girls continue to develop from noisy little globs of goo to larger, noisier, faster moving, food-eating globs of goo. Check out all the fun! |

The consumption of solid food has become a major household event.

The girls are also learning about important things like 49er games.

There are (rare) times, however, that the girls clean up nice for photos.

But mostly the girls spend their time getting goofy, getting messy, and playing.

One thing the girls both love is their dog.

The girls can also play together! Typically this involves the mobile Elle attempting to hanai (steal) toys from the stationary Malia. Above: Malia strikes back! |
