Talk, talk, talk

I just love to hear Ava 'talking'. She has a much deeper voice than one would expect & occaisonally she really gives her toy(or me) what for! And, of course, she can't just ignore the camera...:)

Bye bye exersaucer!

I've decided it's time to retire our exersaucer. They still 'fit' size-wise, but since Drew has gotten strong enough to tip it over--and has been trying to do that with Ava in it!--I think it's time it was taken away. Plus, I *hear* they may be getting an early birthday present tomorrow! ;)

We got the exersaucer when they were about 4 mos old. At 1st, we had to put a blanket behind them to keep them steady & phone books under their feet so they would touch!

A totally different picture 6 mos later!

Saying goodbye... :(

Now, I get to tear it down, clean it all up & hide it away before they wake up from their naps. It'll be interesting to see if they even notice! ;)

Poor baby boy...

Drew was up sick much of last night. Fortunately, our 1st touch of the stomach bug wasn't too bad...& so far, Ava has not caught it. Today he seems to be feeling pretty good...although he does lay down & rest a little more often than normal(which would be never--unless it's naptime!:)).

Isn't he sweet!?

Every mom wants laundry help, right!?

Well, maybe not! ;)

Happy Birthday Casey!!

My little brother turns 24 today!!

Hope you have a great day!! Love you Case!

Wrestling w/ a penguin...

Uncle Will(Jeremy's brother) seems to have a knack for picking out great toys that the twins love to play with! Recently, he brought them a musical penguin. It is weighted in the bottom, so it pops right back up when knocked down & everytime you touch it it plays a cute, (though annoying after many days :)) short song.

Drew has started wrestling with it on occasion...he just loves when he gets it stuck on it's side!!

And, not to be left out, Ava decided to give it a try! ;)

And, just like that, we've lost interest again!


Thanks, Uncle Will, for the great toy!!

Chillin' in our robes

I decided to break out the robes last night as it was a little chilly after bath. Unfortunately, they've pretty much outgrown them already. But, they still look adorable! :)
