The girls are sitting up- sort of!

We have just introduced the girls to sippy cups. I can't say that they have gotten much out of them, but they sure have enjoyed playing with them and chewing on them. They are both just about ready to completely sit up on their own. They both can do for about a minute before they topple over. I am getting excited to be able to sit them on the floor to play! This week they started getting their first teeth as well. Valerie had two pock through on the bottom and Olivia had one. They have been sick girls this week with RSV and have both been put on inhalers and Olivia is on antibiotics for an ear infection. Between them, Kyle and Landon all being sick this has been a long week, but we are on the mend and almost back to our healthy selves again!

Ballerina Girls!

While Diane was here we put the girls in her purple tutus and took some pictures in my living room. I am so excited with how well they turned out! They are so much better than the ones I had professionally taken!

College Friends

This week when Diane came to visit we drove up to Sonora to visit our friend Nichole. We are three went to college together and now between the three of us have 10 kids! All three of us have had girls in the past 7 months so it was fun to see them together and watch the older ones play- a bit insane, but it was fun!

My girls are growing up!

The girls are now 7 months old and are catching up to where they would be if they were born on time. Valerie is in the 23rd percentile for weight and Olivia is in the 12th. Landon absolutely adores his sisters and wants to hold them and play with them all the time. They are starting to interact more with each other and laugh and smile at each other often. They are sleeping about 10-11 hours at night and are both happy healthy girls!

Landon and Cooper

My best friend, Diane and two of her kids came to visit us this week. Landon and Cooper are great friends and had so much fun together. They played in the creek, stomped in puddles, rode bikes, played cars, playdough and watched tv together. It was a very fun couple of days, but we were all exhausted by the end! Landon can't wait to go to Cooper's house now!

Valerie

My precious girl! She loves her big brother- he can get her to smile and laugh more than anyone else! She loves to sleep and loves her food! She is content just about anywhere. We love her so much and are so thankful to have her as a part of our family!

Olivia

My happy smiley girl! We just got a jumperoo and she absolutely loves it! She will jump for hours and even has fallen asleep in it a couple of times! She is growing very well and is adjusting to eating solid foods! It has been a little harder on her poor tummy, but she is starting to really like it! We are so thankful for her and how well she has recovered from her rough start on life!
