Fall 2012

The girls are growing up so fast! It is fun to see them grown and learn every day. I also love to see how different they are! Adelyn is my little mover. She rolls both directions now, and she has learned how to scoot backwards. She tries to crawl while she sticks her bum high high in the air, but she can't figure out how to get her arms to move in accordance with her legs to make her move. I am terrified for when she figures out how to make her arms move in conjunction with her legs. That little girl is going to be mobile soon and it scares me to death! Sweet little Emma doesn't seem to see the need for all the movement. She is content to just hang out and play with the toys I give her. She is a kicker and is constantly kicking her legs a million miles an hour. Once she figures out she can move herself there is going to be no stopping her and I am afraid I wont be able to keep up with her. Emma is my talker. She is constantly talking and cooing to anyone who will listen and a lot of times to herself. She wakes up in the morning (6am ish) and Andrew and I will hear her over the monitor just talking to herself and cooing.  They are such a joy. We absolutely love those little girls! Andrew and I have so much fun playing with them and watching them learn. Here are some pictures to show you what we've been up to this fall so far.

They are such smiling babies!

Hanging out watching daddy play Nintendo, Emma thought it was pretty cool.

Sweet smiling Addie

Emma - Don't you just want to pinch those cheeks! When she smiles she pokes her cheeks out and scrunches her nose... SO CUTE! We call her cheeser since she has such a cheesy smile.

Best Friends!

Addie Funny Face

Addie Funny face again, I just love these girls' expressions.

Going to the Park

The weather has finally cooled down in Vegas so the girls and I can go play outside. I took the girls to the park for the first time a few weeks ago and it was an adventure. Adelyn loved it, Emma cried. They are truly polar opposites. I don't know how they are twins.

The cool park

Adelyn loving every minute

Emma's not too sure about this whole park thing

Addie busy playing

Emma, concerned. I couldn't get her to even crack a small smile. This is the happiest I could get her.

I LOVE THIS PICTURE! It captures how she felt about the park. Pure joy. She loved it!

Emma still not sure

Adelyn holding Emma's hand trying to console her and tell her the park is suppose to be fun.

Happy Halloween!

Andrew had school on Halloween so the girls and I played at home (aka I dressed them up in their halloween clothes, not to be mistaken with their halloween costumes). After Andrew got home we dressed the girls up in their costumes. They were baby chics this year. The costumes turned out to be a HUGE mess! We had feathers all over our house in every room. I am still cleaning up feathers. We took the girls trick or treating to our friends who live a few doors down and then we went downtown to a party at the Town Square Mall. We strolled the girls around and people watched but we opted out of trick or treating at all the shops. It was a great first Halloween. Maybe next year Andrew and I can find time to dress up as well. 

I love Emma's face! Waiting for Daddy to come home.

Eating!!!

Last week we started the girls on some real food. It's fun feeding them and watching them try and figure out how to eat. 

They loved bananas!

Since the weather has cooled down we like to go for stroller rides. The girls absolutely love it!

Happy girls

Did I mention we got a new car a few months ago? Both our cars were mid size and we couldn't fit both car seats and tall Andrew in our cars so we upgraded. I LOVE it!

3 Month Pictures

We finally got the girls' pictures professionally taken. I had all these cute plans for newborn twin pictures but by the time I could figure out how to get out of the house with two babies who were not screaming their heads off they were 3 months. So... here are there 3 month pictures!

This picture sums up how the WHOLE photo shoot went. They were so onrey that we had to stop the first night and and call it quits and then we had to try again the next day. This picture is from the next day :)

One Baby and Pictures

Time is flying by! I can't believe it is already October. Where did June, July, August & September go? Other twin moms said the first year would be a blur, but man! I can't seem to keep up. It seems like we are never doing anything and time is crawling by because we do the same thing every day over and over again, but then I look back at pictures and I realize how quick the girls are growing up and how fast time IS flying. Some days I wonder how life would be with one baby. I could go to the grocery store without having to prepare HOURS in advance. It's a joke trying to go anywhere during the day when I am home alone with the girls. I also think about having to sleep train one baby. Sleep training 2 babies, lets just say I'm not sure it's possible :) The girls are pretty good at staying ont the same schedule during the day, but at night they can't seem to synchronize. The other time I think about having one baby is when both girls are screaming. With one screaming baby the solution is simple: you pick them up, but when two babies are screaming not so simple. Who do you pick up? The one that is screaming the loudest. The squeakiest wheel gets the greece and the other squeaky wheel gets some lovin' too as soon as her sister settles down. However, the pro's far out weigh the cons when it comes to twins. I couldn't live without either one of my girls! Twins are SOOOO cute!!! They are such good friends. I can tell they love each other so much! It is so fun to see them interact. The best way to start a day? Walk into the nursery and see these two cuties smiling at me!

Now you can't tell me that this isn't the cutest thing you've seen all day. They are so much fun! I am so lucky to have my two girls and I wouldn't have it any other way and I wouldn't change it for anything in the whole world. Seriously! How lucky am I that they chose to come to my family and to let me be their mom! They are such sweet little blessing.  

Here are some pictures.

3 Months

Addie- First smile caught on camera 3 months

Emma - First smile caught on camera 3 months

Playing with Grandma

All ready to go to church at Grandma's. Look how tall Emma is (in the white) she weighs almost a pound less than her sister but she is taller.

Eating dinner gets a little crazy some nights

They love their bumbos!

Just chillin' and checking each other out

They love to play together

This gives new meaning to eating ont he go! haha We took the girls to the new city creek center and temple in salt lake when we were up there visiting a few weeks ago. By the way, if anyone is looking for a twin stroller, this bad boy is AMAZING! It turns on a dime and can maneuver through anything and it weighs basically nothing. I LOVE it! 

The Salt Lake Temple. SO pretty and perfect fall weather!
