sneak peek

my friend wil did some photos for us - here is a sneak peek!


Happy 10 Months!

Happy 10 months to Maddie and Katie! We had such a fun and eventful weekend. The girls are both getting in LOTS of teeth - they should have a fill smile soon. Katie likes to clap her hands and will do so when told to "clap clap". Maddie is still smiling and waving at anyone who looks at her. They have both started standing without holding on to anything and Katie took one step this week while we were at my grandma's house. Soon enough they will be walking! See below for our adventures.

10 month old photo - katie on the left and maddie on the right

katie weighing in on the scale at the doctor's office. she is now 17 lbs and only an 1/8 of an inch shorter than maddie. katie is in the 10th percentile for her age group.

here's maddie verifying that the scale is correct. she is weighing in at 18 lbs 4 oz and is in the 15th - 20th percentile of her age group. no shots at this visit and we don't have to go back until they turn one!

We have a small space between the couch and the chair - lucy and leia use this space to get in and out of the fenced in play area (aka the living room). maddie likes to copy the dogs and tries to get through the space -she has actually made it a few times and we have found her behind the couch. here is katie pushing maddie through.

...and now katie looking at me realizing that she shouldn't have done that. we managed to get maddie out unharmed.

Busy little bees

We have been so busy these last few weeks, but have had so much fun! The girls are growing so fast - Maddie and Katie are both standing up and Katie is standing on her own. They are both walking along the couch while holding on so we can only assume walking is the next step - ack! They are both getting in lots of teeth and are doing really well with the teething pains. We can't believe that they will be 10 months old next week!

No, we didn't have a boy - this is Ryder, the new baby boy born to our dear friends Jocelyn and Derek - he was born August 15th - the 4 of us went to visit him in the hospital so Maddie and Katie could meet their new little friend. He is so adorable!
Katie loves her music stand and microphone - we finally found a hair clip that doesn't fall out - yay!

Here is Maddie with her hair bow

Go Spartans!

We had a fun weekend --- a bunch of my former students came over for a fun Sunday afternoon.
Maddie and Katie also got their first Spartan outfit from Maryknoll - yay! They are prepared for their future education there!
