Still Moving In

What can I say? It has been CRAZY these past two weeks! We are in our new home, still in the process of unpacking, had two sick babies (now down to one), one sick daddy, one worn out mommy, and no internet for the past two weeks. Thankfully, my in-laws came to help with the daunting task of unpacking this past weekend. We are not finished yet but are well on the way. In fact, I should be organizing the house right now. I just needed to catch up on the blog.

Here is Emma getting into the pantry. Fun stuff!

This is the twins' idea of settling down for a nap!

You didn't think they would really sit still on a blanket? That's Emma looking back at the camera.

We love our new house so much! Everyone in the neighborhood has been so welcoming and friendly. The girls will have lots of children to play with as they grow up! There is a lot more space for everyone to enjoy as well as a lot of nature around to explore. There is a family of deer that come into our neighbor’s backyard most mornings. I tried to snap a picture of the mom and baby deer. I guess I scared them off!


Emma and Addison have four new teeth that have FINALLY broken through on top. I cannot express how much I dislike the teething process. It takes forever for those suckers to come in and it seems to never end. In total they have two bottom teeth and four top teeth. Both girls are standing up on their own a lot more frequently. They can walk holding on to our hands. They love to push toys across the floor. They also think it is really funny to stand up in the bathtub and wait for me to ask them to, “Sit down”. Once I say sit down they plop back in the water, I say, “Thank you”, and they smile with one little eyebrow raised. I wish they wouldn’t stand in the tub, but it seems to amuse them.

They also love to stand in front of a mirrored wall we have next to our front door. They make funny faces, kiss the baby, and talk, while they stand gazing at their faces. They've started a game where they crawl after each other, and when one catches the other they wrestle and roll around giggling. Addison tends to be a little rougher than Emma so this game sometimes ends with one crying for help. They also love to pull my hair, pinch, and bite. (Nasty little habits that I hope will end soon.) Waving hello and bye-bye are also big favorites right now.

Next week Emma and Addison will be 11 months old! I cannot believe how fast it's going! I love how interactive they are becoming, and how each day their personalities shine through more and more.

Our friends gave us these outfits for the girls! We love them!

Addison takes the bows out of Emma's hair pretty quickly.
You can see Emma is not feeling too well here.
