xmlns:fb='http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml' Friday Night Wife: 8 Months Old...A Few Weeks Ago!!!
Four years ago I taught 2nd graders and had for five years. For now the Lord has me staying home with my babies. I am a believer in Jesus Christ. I have been married for 8 years to my best friend who just happens to be a football coach. We have four precious baby girls who keep us very busy. I love to spend time with family, craft, bake, cook, watch football, and whatever else comes up. I am hoping to start up a baking business with cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. I hope you enjoy reading about our life as much as I am enjoying blogging about it!

8 Months Old...A Few Weeks Ago!!!


The twins are 8 months old now!  I feel like this has been the month that they have gained so much personality and spunk.  I'm really starting to see their individuality!  In the past month we celebrated Ella's 2nd birthday, took a trip to New Mexico, and started food!  Here are some of their new accomplishments!!!
  • Army crawling all over the place.  
  • Rocking on all fours but have not started moving on all fours yet.
  • Chloe says dada and wawa
  • Claire just started saying mama and wawa (neither one in context, but we think it's so cute)
  • Claire has 7 (almost 8) teeth
  • Chloe has 6 teeth
  • They both are starting to give kisses.  I love wet kisses!  It's so sweet!
  • Started cereal and sweet potatoes.
Here are a few pictures from our last month.  
Chloe loves crawling under the exersaucer, even when Claire is in it!
In New Mexico at my parents house.

 Watching us eat dinner when we were in Lovington!  How rude to not share the food!!!
 Watching cartoons, while I feed the babies. 
 Drinking their morning bottle.  I prop their bottles up with a blanket until I can get down there to hold the bottles.  Now that they are so active it is really hard to feed them like this.  They want to toss the bottle and crawl around and then come back for more.  Most of the time now when I feed them by myself I have to stop during the feeding with one and hold her to feed her, then finish with the other one.  They will hold the bottle for a little while but then get distracted by the action around them. 
 Claire relaxing with Papa!

 Chloe with my mom.  They love my mom!  I mean who doesn't!!!!!

 Ella got Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 for her birthday and we would put the movie on the computer for them after their bath.  It was like their own little movie theater.   
 Bath time is so much easier with these seats!  Genius!
 Racing to the bathroom!
 A few days after we got home from New Mexico we started cereal.  The first night they thought it was pretty sick and then started to really like it.
 Adda was pretty excited to feed the babies!  She has been wanting to feed them food since we brought them home from the hospital.  One day when the babies were only a few weeks old she came in the kitchen and informed my mom and I that the babies wouldn't eat the marshmallow she had been trying to give them!!!!

 They are every where now!  Neither one of them have mastered crawling on all fours but they are super speedy army crawlers. 

Sheesh, let go of the cord!!! 


 After doing cereal for a week we moved to sweet potatoes.  The first night they weren't enthused but the second night they sucked it down in no time.

It's delish!
Mommy feeding Claire

Not too sure about it!  Don't mind me in my pj's still!!!  I only get ready once or twice a week!  One of these days that will change!
I read on another mom's (of twins) facebook page that her girls share better than her son.  I'm a little nervous about these two.  They fight over toys like crazy!  They were fighting over something here and Claire on the left won, if you can't tell by the smirk on her face.  Chloe was a little depressed about the loss!

Claire playing with her paci!  She has started doing this all the time!








 This is very normal!  One is always on the other.  Crawling right over her to get to whatever she wants!  Just a week ago it always was Chloe crawling over Claire, but Claire has decided to join in the wrestling as well!









Giving kisses!


 They love this table!  If they fall down they start flipping out until we stand them back up against it.


 
Claire back on top of Chloe
 Eating snowballs in the tent after dinner!  Look at me!!!  I'm in my pj's again!  Somebody needs to come help me get ready every morning! 
 Everyone joining in the tent fun!
 Things are getting pretty fun with these four munchkins.  I only want to run away every once so often and it's only for like 30 minutes or so!  No big deal right?!?!?!  It's exhausting but worth it.  I never stop but that's good for.  Keep me looking to Jesus!  Lord knows I can't do this by myself!!!!
