contract!!! & crawling???

First things first, we have a contract on our house! YAY! It is bittersweet as I will always be sentimental about our "first house" as a married couple and the house we brought our babies home to. I will miss a lot of things about it. I guess time marches on ...

Here are the girls ... Grammy Sally, note the outfits =) They can finally wear them!

Sweet girl Meredith!

Here is Hannah sweetly stroking the baby doll's face ...

Hey, I told you all ... she is liable to bite your head off! Quite literally! Watch out world, here comes Hannah!

Hannah ... she has started to go from sitting to her tummy ... and TRYING to get up to her hands and knees. She can scoot, but she goes backwards and gets MAD MAD MAD!!!

This is what she does when she gets mad/tired ... total faceplant! It is so cute =)

fussing and stealing ...

Hannah has been quite a pill these days. She kept me up all night a few nights ago and fusses all day and for all of her naps she wakes after only 20 minutes or so and screams. I took her in the Pediatrician to have them look in her ears ... guess what? Perfectly healthy. Just when I think these girls are going to stop the fussies ... well, here they go again! The Ped is thinking that Hannah will be on the move soon and that it is a developmental thing. She DOES make this grunting frustrated noise all the time. Meredith is being her sweet self. She is probably a little sleep deprived from listening to her sister scream for every nap.

... has anyone seen my Cheerios? (Meredith)

So, Meredith may not be the fussy one (at the current time) but she sure can be a bully! The toys were pretty evenly strewn on this blanket and after a few minutes ... look whose side they are on ... poor Hannah is getting her last toy taken from her! It is pretty comical. She will take whatever Hannah has, until Hannah has something else ... then she throws the toy she just took to the side and goes for the new toy until she has all the toys ... and we wonder why Hannah is so fussy =)

... got it!

MD appointment

So, when do you think the girls will tire of the daily photo shoots? All the practice came in handy when I took them to have their pictures taken. They couldn't have behaved better! I will post those after people get them in the snail mail. We went to the doctor to get our second to last RSV Vaccination yesterday. We got the OK to start yogurt and puffs. Today I tried it and they did just great! Meredith weighed 13 pounds 15 ounces (5%) and Hannah was 14 pounds 3 ounces (7%!). Plugging right along!

All my "children"

Meredith
Hannah

Do you like our mini-dresses?!

This is what we think of all the photo shoots!

sitting and swinging ...

I have been taking the girls to our neighborhood park lately because they love the swing and being outside! Just like Mommy!

Meredith ... weeeeeeee!

Hannah ... weeeeeeee!
no, we are not conjoined twins!

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ... it is cold out here! They kept their little arms tucked in all the way home! Mama didn't raise no fools!!!

We are sitting! The girls are sitting quite well! They will topple from time to time. Meredith cries but Hannah will fall on her face and it doesn't bother her until she realizes that she is on her tummy ... they still hate that!

Happy Valentine's Week!

Looks like Hannah has an admirer! Meredith in pink and Hannah in red ...
Whatcha doin' Mommy?

bathing beauties

Hannah's new favorite passtime is sticking out her tongue. She does it all the time! So cute!

Meredith ... scrub-a-dub-dub! They love to splash!

MD appointment

Hannah took the lead! Hannah is 13 pounds 5 ounces and Meredith fell behind at 13 pounds 2 ounces. They are both doing well with their 2 meals a day of solids, I think Hannah just has a little more patience with nursing. Meredith wants to look around and tug at my hair and play with my shirt instead of eating! She does well enough though! They are doing just great and getting to be quite a joy to be around most of the time!

Hannah and Alan suited up for a walk ... Alan was putting the leash on the dog and Cooper just cracks Hannah up all the time! For some reason, she finds him hilarious!

Me and Meredith after the walk ... she was a little dazed!
Really, Hannah, is that comfortable?
