The End of Summer.

Well, this summer goes down in the books.  We have had so much fun watching these two grow into little ladies.  We started crawling the end of June and gradually have pulled up and now are walking around things in the house.  They have both let go and taken a few steps and fallen but thats it.
These girls are into. everything.  We are constantly in stitches at things they do and in awe of everything they already know how to do, figuring things out on their own.
Both are really good eaters and are being more independent as far as that goes.  We have our 1st Birthday coming up on October 17th.  Its still hard to believe they are almost 1.
Both girls are so loving and caring and will crawl over and lay their head on you and love on you and then get up crawl back over to what they were doing and carry on like it was nothing.

We went to Myrtle Beach this year and took the girls. I've been going there since I was a little kid and couldn't wait to take them this year. They loved it! We went to the lake a few times as well and they also loved being on the boat with Grum and Poppy.

It has been a super busy summer and we are all looking forward to cooler temperatures and FALL!!!!  We even bought a new house and sold ours in a week!   We moved 5 minutes outside Little Rock to Maumelle.  Slower paced, more like what I grew up in, and Grum and Poppy also live here, so it helps out alot with the girls.  We had been looking around for the past year or so since we really found out we were pregnanat and having twins, but never found anything that we just fell in love with.  We wanted to find a house that we could spend a long time in, and raise our kids in, and have a sense of community. After looking one saturday, we walked into this one, and just fell in love with it! So just like that, here we are.  We've never had to go through anything that quick in our lives. We are extremely happy in our new home.
I hope everyone has had a wonderful Summer!

  

1st trip to the LAKE!!!!

In Arkansas, summer has officially begun and man is it hot.  It's been scorching for a few weeks now in the mid 90's.  We decided to take the little girls on their first family lake trip.  It's never too soon to get them used to the boat and the water eh?  They had a ball and did so good on the boat!  Makes us look forward to our beach trip in a few weeks with them.

6 Months!

Wow! The time has flown. We are enjoying every bit of parenthood.  Every day is an exciting new day with different sounds, expressions, and joys.  The girls had their 6 month check up today.  Davin weighed in at 19.2 pounds and 26 inches long. 90th percentile for height and weight.  Emma weighed 17.10 and 25 1/2 inches long and in the 65th percentile.  They are eating like champs, with their main source of nutrition still being formula.  They wake up have a bottle, later in the morning have cereal with fruit, have a bottle every 3.5-4 hours, then eat dinner around 6-6:30.  Usually dinner consists of 2 ounces of a fruit and 2 of a vegetable.  Then we feed them a 7 ounce bottle ( big bottle ) right before bed.  They are on the exact same schedule and have always been, it makes it so much easier.  We have tried bananas, apples, pears, sweet potatoes, peas, squash and carrots.  Im guessing they don't have any food allergies because they wolfed down all of it.  We are big girls now. We sit up on our own, steal each others toys, and are even starting to to get down on the floor and assuming the crawling position. Weird.  They have changed so much over the past month even.
