10 Months. How time does fly!

Double digits! This month has been a huge change both physically and developmentally for both girls. They both seemed to turn into little girls rather than babies. They are so very tall and seem to already loosing baby fat. It makes me a little sad, especially since we aren’t planning for another one for another couple years. Lol, I can imagine that we might not make it that long.



Both babies are crawling pros! They both have their own style, but can chase me down just the same. Their teeth are coming in quick. Alexis has 4 with 4 more quickly coming in. Courtney has 2 and is close to getting a third. I don’t have their weights or heights this month, neither had to go to the doctor at all. They are getting so big and so fun. Their personalities are coming out a lot this month. I can’t believe how different they are.

Courtney:

Courtney is so fearless! I don’t know if I have mentioned before, but Courtney loves the cat! I think she loves her more than Kaylee did, and it’s really cute. She tries to cuddle with her all the time, but it has become more of a body slam than cuddling lately. I try to protect Turtle when I can and am trying to teach Courtney to be soft and gentle with her.




Alexis:
This month Alexis has started babbling and talking! She is also getting more comfortable around strangers. I think the thing that has helped the most with that is just not pushing her. I don’t hand her to people unless she really wants to go to them. And I take her back when she is uncomfortable (before she starts crying) even if she was with the other person for only a few seconds. I don’t try to make her “get used to them” or force her to adjust to being away from me. This girl has tons of teeth coming in. She has 4 at the moment with 4 more on their way in. Needless to say, she is pretty miserable for at least part of most days. When she is happy though, she will sit and play by herself and laugh at whatever it is that she is doing. It is adorable, but every time I turn on the camera she stops.

This one is super fuzzy, but it’s her excited face so I have to share it.

Summer Fun (June)

I didn’t post about much this year other than the babies month days. I don’t think I will catch up to current posts if I go into details, but here are some pictures from June:

We found an amazing park that was a little bit of a drive, but well worth it. The babies even enjoyed being there!

 

The pool was also a big hit with everyone.

Kaylee got out her ponies, and played with them in the trees and made a little stream for them in the garden. Both are things that me and my brother and sisters used to do as children. It warmed my heart to see her using her imagination in a way so similar to mine as a child.

Babies loved playing in it after I emptied it. The little puddles that were left were perfect for splashing.
