One, two

three, four, five, six, seven. Mariana just started counting to seven today. She learns so much from Allia it is amazing. Hopefully it makes up for where I am lacking in working with her. She is falling through the cracks a bit in the puzzle department(and probably others too). By this age, Allia was working 5 and 7 piece cardboard puzzles. Mariana is still on the basic shape puzzles where the circle goes in the big circle hole. :-( Poor second child! They sure do enjoy each other, though...well, most of the time.
