Bird casualty

You would think that kids toys' would be a little more durable, but our 7 month old was able to break off her favorite bird. "Larry" took a dive and was on the floor when I came back in the room after changing Morgan. Avery was just playing with the empty hole. :)  Luckily, Daddy was able to super glue Larry back in.

Loving the warmer weather

Now that the weather is warmer, we've been to the park in our neighborhood a few times. Morgan has slept through most of our park visits. She tends to fall asleep in the stroller right before we get to the park. And she wakes up right when we're ready to head home. Go figure.

Avery loves the swings

Not exactly awake yet, but we made her swing anyway

Not so sure about the grass

What is this stuff???

Grandma's birthday

Matt's mom, Ruth, visited us recently and it happened to be her birthday while she was here. The girls loved being showered with attention from Grandma! We took a few walks and spent loads of time playing. We all went out to celebrate Grandma's birthday in Greektown.

More 6 month pictures

I love going back through pictures on the camera. I sometimes just keep snapping pictures in hopes that a few turn out. We end up with a lot of goofy pics, that's for sure!

This progression of pictures made me laugh...

Sitting nicely together on the couch

Morgan starts leaning in a little too close for Avery's liking

"Move back girl!"

"It wasn't me!"

Then we tried laying them side by side for a few pictures...

Maybe a sweet kiss on her sister's ear... maybe she's biting her... who knows?!?

That's a little better!

Half a year old!

The girls turned 6 months old on Friday. To me, it seems like there have been so many changes in the past month. In general, both girls are eating and sleeping very well. They dropped their nighttime feeding, so we are getting more sleep (yay!). They go to bed around 7 PM and get up around 5:30/6:00 AM. They are still waking up randomly some nights, but mostly just for a quick pacifier fix. We started solids and the girls have liked everything they've tried. So far, no ma-ma's or da-da's, just lots of yelling and screeching. The girls get SO loud when they are playing. I wonder what people walking in our hallway must think is going on in our condo! They love music and get a kick out of us singing and dancing for them (you would, too, if you saw the stuff we come up with - ha!) They are still very interested in the other one and grab at each other if we lay them close together.

Morgan's stats: Weight = 16 lbs 9 oz, Height = 26 in, Head = 43.4 cm
Her height and weight are right around the 50th percentile, and her head is closer to the 80th percentile. Morgan is still our smiley, giggly girl. At night, if she gets overly tired, she is especially giggly - kind of like slap-happy. It's cute, but not usually a good thing. She got her first tooth this past week. If she doesn't want something, she gives it a huge swat away, usually with her left hand... bottle, paci, toy, your hand messing with her nose/face/ears, whatever. Her hair continues to grow straight up - our little fuzzball!

Avery's stats: Weight = 15 lbs 12 oz, Height = 25.25 in, Head = 43.6 cm

Her weight is a little below the 50th percentile, her height is around the 25-30th percentile, and her head is closer to the 80th percentile. So, basically, she's a shorty. Never thought a kiddo of mine would be below average in height! No teeth yet for Avery, but there's a bump and we think one will be popping out soon. She blows raspberries all the time. The worst is when she's eating and decides to do it. This is partly why she is the messiest eater! Also, because she loves to "help" when we feed her... she grabs the spoon or uses her hand to push the food in her mouth.

Matt and I are having such a fun time watching these girls grow and change! Every day they do something sweet that makes us smile or something crazy that makes us laugh!

Loads of pictures of my favorite people

We got the pictures back from our photo session a few weeks ago. I love them! Check out our Shutterfly site for the rest!

Easter Bunny

I mentioned I went shopping on Sunday after music class... well, there was an Easter Bunny at the mall. Erin convinced me to get a picture of the girls with the bunny. I was surprised they didn't cry! They do look a little freaked out!
