These snosberries taste like snosberries!

Look No Hands!

Well our girls are officially mobile now....lots of changes! They are both standing with no hands and balancing for up to a minute, they have both tried to take steps and usually end up catching themselves. Morgan is doing the army crawl and can get anywhere in a matter of seconds, she is crazy. If she sees something that she wants there is NO stopping her, she will find a way to get it no matter what. Stephen says it reminds him of me, I can't understand why he would say that?? Maddi is much more reserved and very scared of falling so she is very careful but is starting to get the army crawl down as well. They love food - anything and everything. They want to try whatever we are eating....and for the most part we let them. They love pancakes just like big brother Cooper. They think he should share everything with them and he does most of the time. We have been slack on the picture taking lately so this is the only new pic I have of Maddi but I will try to take more this week. Stephen has been traveling a lot so that makes it hard! I did take them for their 9 month check up today and below are the stats.
Morgan - 23 pounds 10 ounces
Height - 29 inches
Maddi - 24 pounds
Height - 28 1/2 inches
They are both in the 90th percentile all around but our doc says he has never seen twin girls that big!

Easter Bunny Pictures

We went to a event today sponsered by the twins club that I am in and we took these pics. Coop found lots of easter eggs and had a blast, the girls had a great time watching all the kids. I will post more pictures; however there is not one picture that all 3 are looking - that is just impossible!

Snowball Fight

Don't send a lame Holiday eCard. Try JibJab Sendables!

Daddy we miss you!

Stephen has been in Brazil since Monday, he arrives home tomorrow and we are all so ready! We miss him tons - and can't wait to see him. The girls have both learned how to say MAMA very well while he has been gone. They compete to see who can be louder, Maddi usually wins....that girls has some serious lungs. Another new trick - today I went to get Morgan after her nap, I heard her laughing really hard and I looked in the video moniter and she was standing in her crib so proud of herself. They are so crazy. Cooper has been SO good while Daddy has been away, he is such a big helper. He can't wait to see what Daddy brings home home, he says he just wants pizza? Not sure about that!

Our New Wagon

Here is a pic from today of the kids in our new wagon - I thought it would be a great idea for walks to the park, Starbucks ect. However today they both tried to climb out about half way on our walk .....maybe in a few more months!

Cooper's New Hobby

Here are a few pics of Coop from yesterday morning. His new favorite thing is waking up early and putting on crazy outfits, this is what he came up with yesterday. It is hard not to laugh when he greets you at 6:45am saying "like my outfit?" He is a mess!

Morgan in action....

Here are a few pics of Morgan's true personality - she is such a jokester! She laughs ALL the time, at anything, it is hilarious. She is very outgoing and wants everyone to talk to her and look at her when we go out. She is crazy - she wants to stand all the time and is even trying to walk a little bit, she lets go of things to see how long she can free stand. I have a feeling she will be walking within a month. You can see Maddi in the backround just watching TV and chilling out, and that says it all. She is very laid back and just watches everything around her and takes it all in. They are SO different but it is so much fun to watch them both.

Super Cute

This morning I was in the kitchen - I looked over and this is what I saw, this was not posed at all. Cooper and Morgan just sitting there together, Cooper watching a show and Morgan playing with toys, it was so sweet. He just loves his sisters so much. I am going to put lots of new pics up on the picture page so stay tuned.....

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!

Our Pretty New Bows

Now that our helmets are off, we just want to be pretty.

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!

Girls 6 Month Stats and Coops 3 year

Well....here they are.
Coop - 39 pounds and he is 3 feet 2 inches - 90th % for weight and 70th% for height

Morgan - 20 pounds 10 ounces and 26 1/4 inches long - off the charts for weight! and 75th% for height

Maddi - 20 pounds even and 26 inches long - same %'s as Morgan

As you can see everyone seems to be growing like weeds here, all is well. Hopefully I will get some pics up this weekend, it has been a bit crazy around here. Morgan cut her first tooth on Wednesday with the 2nd right behind and Maddi looks like she will be cutting her first any day now. Fun stuff!!

Little Chunkers

Here is a pic from last night during there one hour break from the helmets. They are getting so big! The helmets are already doing there job and it is amazing to see the difference already in there head shapes. The helmets do not bother them one bit, in fact I think they like them. Now if I could only find a way to get the stink out of them....we clean them everynight but they still stink. I could not imagine if they had to wear them during the summer.
Things are going well here, back to a semi-normal schedule with the girls although teething makes each day a little different so we just try to roll with it. Coop is doing good, although since he turned 3 he has been really testing us. We have one good day then one bad so we are just trying to stay on top of things and make sure he knows we are boss and he is not! He does love his sisters and can make them laugh like nobody else can, it is very cute. He is excited for Christmas and all he keeps asking for is a fire pole for his playground out back. So hopefully we can find one that works. We will see. We take him for his 3 year check up ( a little late) on Thursday and the girls 6 month on Friday so I will post all the stats then.

Look at our helmets!

Well we finally got around to decorating the helmets today, and the girls just feel so much prettier now! They are doing great, adjusting wonderfully. Morgan had some issues with her helmet rubbing a spot on her head but they adjusted it and she is doing much better now. Maddi is doing great, she actually pats her head when we take it off during bath time wondering where it is. Cooper wanted a helmet as well so for the first day he wore his bike helmet around everywhere we went. You should have seen the looks I got at Starbucks with all 3 of them in there helmets. I said he was supporing his sisters! We bring the girls for there 6 month check up next week so I will post the stats then. I think they are tipping the scales for there age. We took out some baby pictures of me last week (Kim) and they look nothing like me at this age, I was a skinny small baby so I think they may be taking after Daddy again...hopefully at least 1 will look like me eventually. I can't have all 3 looking like Stephen that would just not be fair! More pics to come...
