Jenny: Don’tcha just love the worried look on the little one’s face? She puts up with so much harrassment from her big sister!!! LOL!! x
Oh now that is just precious. What a gorgeous pair.
Oh sweet. What an adorable pair!
That is exactly the look my baby boy gets on his face when his big sister gives him the up close and personal treatment!

Major cuteness!!!!
Thanks for all your comments. I love that the girls just totally adore each other, it’s so cute to watch! Poor mini-Monkey certainly puts up with a lotta lovin’ from her big sis – some of it sweet and gentle and some of it, not so much!! She tolerates it all though, like a cat that’s used to having their tail being pulled. I just love the look on her face… it’s like: ‘Ah shit, what’s she about to do to me now??? LOL!!!!
This photo is adorable! Everything about it is just so lovely, you have two gorgeous looking kids
What a gorgeous picture!
wow! you have such a knack for capturing those special moments – I never have the camera near. Sisters xx
Poor baby – she looks really scared! Big sis is obviously just being affectionate tho: great photo 🙂
