Six Months!

Our sweet girls are now six months old, isn't it hard to believe?!
They're entering such a fun stage! They are exploring everything, they are beginning to communicate (even if it's still with oooohhhhs and aaahhhs!), and they surely keep dips on mommy at all times now!
Arvelle is sitting up completely on her own now! Sylvanna is close behind, a couple weeks and she'll be right up there with her. Sylvanna can sit with a boppy in case she falls and it's wonderful to see them sitting and playing together!

Arvelle is eating solids! She enjoys butternut squash, carrots, avacado, banana, apples, and sweet potatoes so far :) Sylvanna shows interest in the food, but makes the funniest icky face you ever saw when she tries it! lol

They had their 6-month check up at the doctor's today! It went great!
They are around 18pds, with Sylvanna still in the lead! They are still the same height.
We were so nervous today because they started their shots today, they got the DTaP today. I was nearly in tears afterwards - BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN FROWN! NOT A PEEP, NOT A TEAR, NOTHING!!! I can't believe how well it went! We're so proud of them!

So, that is all for now - Arvelle is resting happily and Sylvanna is playing with Daddy waiting for dinner, so...off I go!!! Here's some more random pics to enjoy, more laters!

Holiday Pictures

Okay, I'm going to do less talking this time and more picturing!
I'll just say that the girls are 5 1/2 months, our house is finally getting started, and the girls are starting to taste some foods and trying to crawl!
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here we go!

Sylvanna: "This is fun!" Arvelle: "Yup, tons."

Yay! A good one!

Oooh! A Teddy Bear! I never would've guessed! ;)

Honestly, she loves this bear! It's her lovey now :)

Mmm...Banana!

Daddy is uber fun! (and a little crazy)

OUR HOUSE! The slab is poured and now the walls will be started on Monday :)

Video for fun (because it's a new feature on here and I gotta try it out).

Arvelle in the jumperoo for the very first time:

Okay, that's it for now :) Will be back in the usual month or so!

Thankful for Twins on Thanksgiving!

The girls had a wonderful holiday with their family! They got to see Grandma & Grandpa and Great Grandma & Great Grandpa (both sets!) plus their Uncle Jason and lots of other cousins, friends, etc.

Here is a picture of the girls with their Great Grandparents (Chambers) and their second? cousins!

Arvelle is on the right with Great Grandma and Sylvanna is on the left with Great Grandpa!

Here are the girls with Uncle Jason!


All-in-all the girls had a wonderful time and the drive wasn't so bad :)

Arvelle & Sylvanna will be 4 months old tomorrow! It's so hard to believe! They are doing really well - Arvelle is almost sitting up on her own and Sylvanna is babbling up a storm! They recently discovered each other and spend long moments every day just staring, smiling, laughing, and touching each other! It's amazing to see how much they love each other already!

They are growing so fast! They are starting to teeth already! They already can fit in 6 months clothes, which thankfully we have plenty of. As they are growing though, they are needing some other things - such as the next size up carseat and child-proofing materials for the home.

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season! We'll be back after Christmas with some pictures!
