uh-oh - I just dropped something on the floor purposely; I'm about to drop something on the floor purposely

Typical Behavior

It's nice to look back at videos of when the girls were younger just to remember what they were like. What, at the time, was just typical behavior is now interesting because they have changed so much. So here's an attempt to document today's typical behavior!

What We Do Best

As Claire and Keira grow, it is fascinating to see what each girl focuses on. Claire seems to have developed her own language, whereas Keira is constantly exploring physical objects as if trying to figure out how they work.
