My Sweet Babies & The Children's Museum

These sweet babies are too much!
 Olivia went to the doctor for her 
6 month check.  She is 97%
for both height and weight.
She's 21.5 lb and 28.5 in.
She's making all sorts of new
sounds and faces.
She loves moving 
around across the floor
on her tummy!
JJ loves playing baseball
with his Daddy!
He also loves singing
his ABC's.
We think when he's singing
he says, "...JJ, Elmo, P, Q, R, S..."
He loves singing,
counting, talking,
and snuggling!

 The other night we went to Dairy Queen
and Olivia kept trying to get all of our
treats!  We got her a cup of water
with a straw to keep her busy
because she was desperate for ice cream!
She's likes drinking water from a
sippy cup, but needs help to do it.
 Olivia's hair is getting long on top!
It's also started to get longer on the sides.
It's really soft and fluffy on the 
sides after she has a bath.
Olivia tried sweet potatoes
the other day and really seemed
to enjoy them!
JJ likes it when sissy's hair 
blows in the wind!
 Olivia loves to read books!
 I love you sweet sissy!
 We went to the Children's Museum
the other day.
 JJ was very busy!
Olivia will probably have more fun
the next time we go!

6 Months

Olivia is 6 months old!
I can't believe it!
I had this adorable
Minnie outfit that I was 
hoping would fit for her 
newborn pics, but it was too big.
By the time we did her next
round of pics,
it was too small!  
The button popped off the diaper
and the skirt kept riding up!
I decided to take a few 
6 months pics of her in it
because it is too cute
to just leave in her closet!
It came with booties too,
but she kept kicking them off!
I'm hoping that maybe the hat 
will still fit for her October 
pics and she can wear it with
a different outfit.
I love the tail!!
The diaper would not stay on
and the skirt wouldn't stay in place!!
Olivia loves sitting up to play!
Olivia loves hanging out in her stroller
and watching JJ play outside.
I love when she wears leggings!
Our grown up baby doesn't want to 
lay back in her ABC seat anymore,
She's got to sit up and be part
of the action!
I've adjusted the seat from infant recline
to toddler upright
(this chair converts to a toddler rocker)
and she seems to prefer this 
new perspective.
I love you sissy!!
 Sissy is moving around like crazy!
She can do the worm!
She loves to lift up her bottom
and go up onto her knees.
She can make some
serious progress creeping around!
She also likes to pivot around 
in a circle to see what's around her.

Home with my Babies!

I'm really glad that I decided
to take some extra time from work
to stay home with these babies!
I love our double stroller morning walks!
JJ and Sissy always trade
their toys back and forth.
JJ is talking so much and it's 
really neat to be able to spend 
this much time with him!

He loves learning new things!

JJ is so funny.
If I ask him if he's hungry,
he says, "No, my JJ."

We're in the beginning stages
of potty training,
and it's been very messy!!
These babies definitely
keep me busy!!
We're still working on pedaling!
He mostly just does
Fred Flintstone style!
JJ loves these little magnetic outfits!
JJ loves all the silly guys in my
parents' backyard.
Since my sister is now working part time,
we've been trying to take
advantage of the time
I have off of work
to get the babies together!
JJ loves pumping the water
in his water table!
Olivia is always reaching for JJ!
I couldn't decide which 
was the cutest so I posted
them all!
