Crawling

Eloise has been a solid crawler since the end of April. For the longest Lorelei showed no interest and was content with laying there. Slowly she moved to rolling to where she needed to get and now she is an army crawler. Things are about to get real interesting around here. 





I left them on the boppies...

Seven Months!

Oh my goodness, my girls are seven months old! How can this be?!





Lorelei:
Weight/Length: We didn't go to the doctor this month, but I am guessing well over 14 pounds, maybe 15? 
Hair and Eyes: Hair is almost white! And her little bald spot in the back is slowly growing in. Eyes are big and blue! 
Diapers: Size 2.
Clothing: L is in 6 month onesies and mostly 6 month outfits. Those onesies are just about too short though. Moving on to 9 month clothes stat. 
Favorite Things: Looooves her giraffe love. Anything that crinkles is her favorite. Her feet. Big fan of those. Her jumper! 
Likes: Loves bath time. And this girl loves sleep. It is amazing. And awesome. Ha! Bounce, bounce, bounce! 
Dislikes: Still not much she dislikes. Except green beans! 
Eating: Still at 6 ounces, but now with oatmeal. Time to beef up these girls as they grow and burn that energy! Eating at  8 am, 12p, 4p, and 7:30ish. We started baby food- butternut squash, sweet potatoes, apple sauce, pears and bananas. We tried green beans once but I seriously thought she was going to die the faces she made were awful. 
Sleeping: Still sleeping like a champ! This sweet, angel baby sleeps through the night!! She goes down at 7:30ish and I usually have to wake her up at 7:15! Her sister on the other hand..... 
Milestones: She can roll and scoot all over the place. She babbles up a storm. Still working on sitting up. She is the sweetest little girl. Loves to talk and just chill out. 



Eloise:
Weight/Length: E is 14 lbs 6 oz. 25.50 inches. We went for a weight check and she is doing great! She still spits up, but since she is gaining weight great, we just have to keep waiting it out.  
Hair and Eyes: Her hair is getting so long! And it is super blonde! Eyes are beautiful blue!
Diapers: Size 2
Clothing: 6 month onesies are out the door and on to 9 month pjs. We still have some 6 month outfits that work though. 
Favorite Things:  Loves Soffie the giraffe. Chews and sucks on her hands all the time. Actually anyone's hands she can get. She LOVES bouncing and playing. 
Likes: Loves smiling and laughing. She cracks herself up. Loves reaching out and playing with things. Still loves bath time now! She's a little fish!  
Dislikes: Being put down or feeling like no one is paying attention to her. DIVA. And she hates sitting still.
Eating: 6 oz every feeding with oatmeal. She is still a "happy spitter." Still spitting, a lot. Same schedule as sis. We started baby food- butternut squash, sweet potatoes, apple sauce, pears and bananas. Bananas are by far her favorite. She seemed to have a little more trouble taking bites and eating, but once we did bananas sometime clicked and she loves eating now.Sleeping: She goes to sleep around 7:30. We went a stretch of sleeping all night. But she's started waking up at 4 or 4:30 again. She'll get there eventually.  
Milestones: Well this little bit is crawling. And just about pulling up to stand. I swear we are just going to skip over sitting and go straight to walking. Lord help us.  


Easter 2015

We had a wonderful first Easter with the girls! Let's be honest, they are a little unaware of all holidays and presents at this point, but I did want to do a little something special for them.

Lele made their Easter dresses and they were beautiful!
Easter Basket









These rabbit ear pictures are the greatest thing of ALL time! 

I can't wait to teach the girls what Easter is about. So grateful for my Savior.

Spring has Sprung!

 We had some great weather in March and the beginning of April. Made for long walks and trips to the park! I just love their sweet, smiling faces!
