Just lookin' cute

Mommy was trying to get us to pose and smile big for these pictures-- doesn't she realize that we do NOT sit still these days?

Helping Mommy!

Every Sunday I help mommy put away my laundry (and Ryker's, too!) and clean the bedrooms. Ok, actually, she just takes me upstairs and lets me play... but I like to think I am a GREAT helper!

Milestone's

Just a quick update on Makaylin and Ryker's milestones. Makaylin is currently teething and her first tooth is breaking through the gums... it's a sharp little thing! She is also fully crawling and getting into EVERYTHING! She has also figured out how to sit up on her own-- she loves to crawl for a toy and then sit up for a bit and then crawl some more! She has started to pull herself up on things-- mostly Adam and I. :)

Ryker is not in a rush to grow up! :) He's moving around a bit more, but not fully crawling just yet. He's doing really well as we transition from baby foods to more "adult like" foods. I give both of them small pieces of fruits and veggies with their breakfast and lunch and he is doing so great!

Their 9 month check-up is a week from today. I'm anxious to see their stats!

Merry Christmas!

Santa visited our house and left us presents! This one was already set up for us and is SO much fun!

Daddy was very tired after all of that present opening. Mommy and Daddy had a big mess to clean up!

Christmas Eve

Getting ready to eat their very first sugar cookie!

M fell asleep right before we were going to open gifts from grandma's and grandpa's!

Tissue Paper

Mommy gave me this pretty silver tissue paper to play with. It makes fun noises and I like to crumple it up and bang it on my exersaucer. I love the holidays!

Dog Dish!

Makaylin got out of the playroom and found the dog dish while I was making their lunch today. I got to her just in time-- she had a handful of Ella's food that she was about to devour... or choke on. :) This girl is going to be trouble!
