Movin' Right Along!

The girls are getting big! I'd have to guess a bit over 20lbs by now. We'll find out for sure at their 9 month appointment next week; it falls on our one-year anniversary - May 5th - time flies so quickly!
Not much is new, the girls are enjoying their increasing list of foods they can eat. They love the new luxury of playing outside! Sticks and grass are the yummiest!
I just noticed this morning that Arvelle is getting her third tooth, to the right of the bottom two already in. I'm sure Sylvanna will be next, but she's napping so I can't look right now.
We are excited about our first family camping trip coming up Mother's Day weekend to the Lilac Festival in Rochester. We'll be tent camping at Letchworth State Park - very beautiful there.
The house is in the drywalling phase and we are being told June 1st - let's keep our fingers crossed! Still no crawling, they may just skip it or crawl and then walk very close together. I'm hoping we are in the new house before they get too mobile. I'm tired of this cramped apartment :(
Here are some pictures to brighten your day! They are such camera hams :P

Easter Pictures

Wow! I can't believe two months have slipped by me! The girls are doing great and are growing so fast, there's so much to keep up with. They both have their two bottom front teeth, they are both saying "dada" and "mama" indiscriminately (they say it but are not sure what it means), and they both are scooting around. They are very close to crawling, but not quite strong enough yet since they hated tummy-time so much when they were younger. As soon as they build up those muscles they'll be off!
We took some Easter pictures and here they are!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

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!
