Playdate with Marla

The Wisniewski’s were in town for a wedding this weekend, so Natalie and Marla had a playdate. Try as we might, we couldn’t get a picture with both babies smiling and looking at the camera.

While Natalie was happy to have her friend visit, we discovered that she has a bit of a competitive streak! She was okay with sharing most of her toys, but she was very possessive of her new tunnel. Here’s the play-by-play:

Marla is innocently trying to go through the tunnel (with Natalie looking rather innocent herself):

Uh oh, now Natalie’s looking desperate:

And she pulls ahead of Marla, making sure she’s the first one through (doesn’t she look proud of herself?):

Later in the afternoon, there was another race through the tunnel…

Here’s Marla trying again to get through the tunnel in peace:

Then I think Natalie tried to pull Marla out by her foot:

Natalie still trying to pull Marla out by her feet, while the three adults in the room watch and take pictures:

Now Natalie’s trying to elbow her way through:

Yikes, it’s getting crazy!:

And both kids tumble out unharmed. Phew!:
