betsy's first friend

my friend susan had her baby, sweet anabelle, 10 weeks after betsy was born and today they came over to play.  i love seeing these little girls there, side by side, knowing that in just a few short months they'll be sitting up chewing on things together and soon after that they'll be crawling around the house together and not too long after that they'll be running top speed around the back yard together, screaming and giggling with delight!

i promise betsy is not punching poor anabelle in this photo, she just sort of reached out and touched her but it looks like she's giving her an elbow to the throat.  i guess she's working on self-defense to ward of petey's 'affections' once she is mobile. sorry anabelle!
