Look at the big girls!

Well....it has been a few weeks since I last posted or at least a week and things have changed! The girls only want to stand now, forget sitting and playing with toys anymore that is a thing of the past. Morgan will actually throw herself back if I try to get her to sit because she wants to stand. She has major attitude lately, I REALLY don't know who she takes after these days(ha ha!) She will pull herself up from a sitting position to her knees then looks for anything to pull up on. Maddi can get onto her knees from a sitting position as well. They both are doing the "butt scoot" where they are sitting and thrust themselves forward to get where ever they want, so they look hilarious scooting on their bums across the room. But it gets them where they to be and that is all that matters. Morgan is getting her top teeth right now and Maddi is finally starting to cut her bottom teeth. They are sleeping well and very happy for the most part. We are finally on two naps now and they are in bed by 7 which is great for us to have some one on one time with Cooper. Speaking of Cooper he is doing well, getting bigger by the day. We are taking him to the circus on Saturday and he is very excited, but he said we have to be careful of the elephants! He is doing well in school and enjoying it. He loves his sisters he calls them his babies, he told me at the park the other day that his babies were getting so big and he can't wait for them to walk - I told him oh I can! I have been training for a half marathon for a little over a month now, the race is in April so hopefully I will be ready by then. Stephen has also started taking up running and he is going to do a 10k in April. That is the news around here for now...I will put some more pics up soon.

Just snuggling.....

Snow Day!!

Super Cute Big Girls...

Here is a pic from the other day of the girls with their super cute onsies on - if you can't see they actually have capes on the back of them, they are so cute! Thanks Auntie Lisa! I have had to take the girls to the doctor over the last week for various reasons and they weighed in at...Maddie - 22 pounds and Morgan - drum roll please.....24 pounds!!! I just checked and Cooper was 24 pounds 11 ounces at 9 months.(and we thought he was big!) The girls are 7 months old, what is going on?? I have HUGE kids! They are happy and that is all that matters and besides a muffin top looks cute on them and they can actually get away with it for once in their life!

Happy New Year!

Wow...it has been a while. Let's see the girls are in high school now...kidding of course. We have just been very busy with the holidays and everyone being sick. But we are all better now thank goodness and having some great weather this week here in NC. So many updates... where do I start? Morgan got her band off as of today - yeah! She is very happy and her head is beautiful. Maddi still has about one more week, she has not grown as fast as Morgan so there is one spot that should be corrected by next week but we will see. The reason Maddi is wearing the band that says Morgan in this picture is because I decided to redecorate them last week and during the process they somehow got mixed up and I put the wrong bands on the wrong baby....oops. No big deal since Maddi didn't have any growth this week. But I sure did confuse the therapist today! Maddi is saying "da da" all the time , she wakes up and starts whispering it then it gets louder as the day goes on. Morgan is just starting to "talk" but she is loud that is for sure. Morgan has decided to be the "alpha" and takes everything away from Maddi. Maddi has become very laid back and just kind of lets her do her thing. Morgan has also decided to let Cooper have it if he gets in her face too much, she takes her hands and puts them right in his face and pushes him almost to say "you are in my space!" I don't think she will let anything get by her, she is a fiesty one....not sure where she gets that from?? Cooper is doing great, he is starting to listen better and he loved Christmas this year. He would have been happy just with his stocking - he was just so excited to open things and watch the girls. The girls loved ripping the paper off presents and it was so fun to watch all 3 of them. They are both sitting up great as you can see from the pics and Maddi is starting to scoot a little now. They are 7 months as of tomorrow, time just flies. I will try to update more now that things have settled down but I did put a few new picture pages up and will continue to do that.

Maddi loves Auntie Angie....

Uncle Chris....my hair is just like yours!
