Our Ordinary Miracles

The babies are really keeping me on my toes lately! So much fun! Sam loves pulling on long sleeved shirts. I found him like this one morning. ---->
Hehe! He's started pulling the girls' hair. I don't think he knows that he's hurting them but I do think he's doing it for attention. He looks at me to make sure I'm watching and then grabs a handful of hair. Poor girls! If anyone out there would like to drop me a line with some tips on how to deal with that I would appreciate it! Sam is also quite the bulldozer. If something or someone is in his way, he just plows right through.

Sam is a very very fast crawler and stair climber. He cruises around furniture like a pro, and he can stand for a few seconds without holding onto anything.

We've also done a ton of baby-proofing recently. Here's Sam pondering one of the new additions to the house.


He's getting so big - think it's time for new car seats? OY!


Julia still can't crawl, but she's just busy working on other skills.
She is a great mimic. She can give you five and sign "more." So cool! She's such a sweet happy girl. Our little principessa. She loves giving kisses - she'll kiss every baby in a book that we read together. She is a great eater. We're doing tons of finger foods now and there's not much she doesn't like. She has also recently mastered a sippy cup and straw.

She is really big too. I can't wait for their one year appointment to see just how much they weigh.


Here's Daddy and Sweet Baby J.


Messy








Sophia is crawling fast and cruising also. She is still such a little thing but she's incredibly strong and tough. She's such a happy girl, and her happiness is contagious!
She really attracts attention from Sam and Jules - they watch what she's doing and they mimic her. Sophie may just be our little ring leader!

She's not as great of an eater with finger foods but she does love her Cheerios.

She's our best sleeper, taking two almost two hour naps a day. Nice! Wish Sam and Jules would follow her lead on that one!
