080808 - Making history

We heard today is somewhat of a historic day; we couldn't let the day go

by without updating everyone on our progress...

Since the arrival of my bottom two teeth I haven't been able to keep anything out of my mouth...unless of course Bellah is taking it from me (smile)

Grandma stopped by today and decided to take lots of pictures of Me and Bellah...we are sitting up, rolling over and making our way around the floor so much I just know we'll be crawling soon!

Mommy decided dinnertime was approaching ... I don't think her decision had anything to do with my teething ring obsession

Grandma snapped a close-up of Bellah while Mommy prepared our highchairs for dinner

Mommy says we're eating so well these days...I heard her tell Grandma we're really getting the hang of things

Bellah likes carrots but when she's ready to take a break from eating she locks her lips so nothing can get through ...

Sometimes Mommy makes funny faces and noises to make us laugh so we can finish our dinner

I was a little tired at dinnertime today...I only slept 30 minutes of my nap; while Bellah slept I spent some one on one time with Mommy...we really enjoyed ourselves

I had fun watching Mommy feed Bellah

Mommy & Daddy have been letting us enjoy bath time together once in awhile...Mommy told Grandma how Daddy likes to let us play a little longer than Mommy because we have so much fun splashing around and chewing on our bath toys

Bye for now ... we'll see you again real soon!

Our weekend away

For those of you that don't get around as much as we do (and believe me we are getting around these days!!!)...you probably haven't seen the pics of our weekend with Grandpa and Grandma on their blog so we thought we would share them here too!

Grandpa John, Grandma Tracy, Uncle Thayer and Aunt Jilly invited us to spend Daddy's Birthday weekend with them so Mommy & Daddy could have some alone time...here we are showing off one of the first outfits mommy bought us when we were still in her belly!

We had so much fun as usual! Jilly swam with us in her kiddie pool, boy was it a blast!

Grandpa was showing me how funny Jilly's Little Piggy is...it made me laugh while Grandma took my picture

Thank you Jilly for letting me have so much fun with Little Piggy while Adonia was sleeping...next time I'll have to show Adonia how much fun he is too!

Me and Jilly played with her toys on a blanket Grandma laid out for us to sit on.

Thank you Grandpa and Grandma (Thayer and Jilly too)! We really enjoyed our visit with you and look forward to seeing you again real soon!

Hugs & Kisses, Bellah and Adonia

Look what we can do!

We've been working really hard with Mommy trying to master holding our own bottles. We're almost there (sometimes our arms get tired). Mommy thought she'd take a picture to capture history in the making! Pretty soon we'll be driving!

Picture Day!

Today was quite an eventful day...

Mommy, Grandma & Great-Grandma
took us to have our 6 month pictures taken

Normally, Adonia is all smiles and Bellah is slightly more reserved and coy...

Today Bellah came out of her shell and Adonia
(who cut two lower teeth in a matter of 24 hours)

wasn't really in the mood to woo her loyal subjects

We decided a wardrobe change was in order

Here we are changing things up a bit

And a close up

Grandma went a little crazy with the photographers photoshop

6 months and Loving it

Look Adonia and Bellah are sitting up by themselfs now!!

Adonia loves her toys!
Bellah is getting a hang of it as well!
We went swimming with Grandpa and Grandma Tracy this weekend and we all had a blast!
The girls love the water...helps on a hot day

Jilly and Thayer had a great time as well....pretty soon they will be teaching the girls how to swim (Jilly def. has some skills)

Thayer had somuch fun jumping off of Grandpa's hands... in his words...he is Daddy ..."just Daddy ";)

Grandma Tracy spashing in the water with Bellah

Bellah is trying to figure out what Grandpas doing so she could do it too....:)Proud Papa

Water sking with Grandpa!!! WHOOO HOOO ANYTIME!!

Today was so much fun!

Today was such a fun day!

Mommy & Daddy took us to the park to celebrate

our friend, Jaelyn's 1st Birthday.

We thought it was a little fishy when Mommy

grabbed our swimsuits but boy

were we happy when we found out why!

At first we didn't know what to expect

but we weren't scared because lots of kids

were running around having fun

& playing in the water like us!

Bellah and I had matching swimsuits!

Some people that we didn't know stopped by to say, "Hello".

That happens quite a bit we've noticed. Mommy says

it's because we're twins but Me and Bellah think it's because we're so cute!

When Grandma arrived Mommy & Daddy snatched us

up and quickly dried us off. It was time to visit

Jaelyn and celebrate her birthday with her.

Something about playing in water makes us really happy.

Once we finished the water play we returned to

the party and our trusty stroller to chill out & watch Jaelyn open her gifts

We were pretty tired but we had so much fun we

decided we'll have to do this again really soon!

Maybe next time we can bring Thayer, Mason and Jilly too!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Happy Father's Day Daddy, we love you so much.

You're always there to give Mommy a helping hand!

You show us how much you love us and finish the tough jobs with a smile and a kiss!

We never hear you complain when your hands are full!

Something tells us you might be part Super Hero...or atleast you are in our eyes!

We love you Daddy (aka SuperMan)
