Baby Fight

Ok, not really a baby fight. Since the babies were in the womb, Joey and Dave have joked about having the babies wrestle, and they've called it Baby Fight. On Sunday, Meg was down with Mairead for a brunch with Jennifer, Jenn, and Julie. The babies were playing, and Mairead found one of Connor's soft blankets. As they were sitting in front of the TV, they were both reaching for it. When it was on Mairead's lap, Connor would reach over and take it (without looking away from the TV, mind you). When Connor had it, Mairead would reach over and grab it. They did this for several minutes. At one point, they did tug it back and forth, until Mairead used her brut strength and grabbed it, then crawled away. It was so cute! I'm sure we won't be saying this when they're two and screaming at the top of their lungs, but for now, it was.



Note the subtle way Connor is taking the blanket away.

Now they mean business!

And she's off! Mairead as she's about to take off with the blanket.

I should also point out that Mairead never has a pacifier during the day- why does she have one in this picture, you might ask??? She stole it from Connor's crib! She is definitely using her size to her advantage- she will be surprised one day when Connor catches up to her!
