Amelia learning too many things in one day!


Amelia was the QUEEN of new things yeaterday!! She learned how to blow kisses.. (she does it on the back of her hand, and makes a sound going MMMMMUh. Hopefully I can get a video of this soon!) She waved Bye- Bye for the first time to Aunt Kelli.(She did the backwards wave to herself!) AND she said Quack Quack when we were playing with the ducks in the bath tub!! I've really been working on the sign for Duck and saying the duck says Quack Quack for a long time now. I just never know when one of them is going to learn something new! It was a CRAZY day of Amelia learning new tricks!

Going to Nana and Pop's house

On Wednesday Brian had to go to the coast for an overnight trip, so the girls and I went and stayed at my parents house. We all had a GREAT time. Brian and I went out to eat with a fellow coworker after the girls went to bed. It was nice to have some adult time. The girls had a good time shopping with Nana and playing outside by the pond.


Nana with the girls sitting on our poor weeping willow. We all LOVED this HUGE willow tree, that didn't quite make it through Katrina.

What's Quackin?

We have these ducks that keep wandering up into our yard. I am not sure where they are from or what they are doing in our neighborhood. Of course I fed them the other day so maybe that is why they came back???? :) The girls were taking a nap the other day and I was hoping they would come back when they were awake. Yesterday Brian and I were about to go on a walk in the evening with the girls and there they were coming into our yard. I ran in the house to get the camera and bread. Abigail thought it was HILARIOUS every time they ate the bread I threw on the ground. Their whole bathroom is in ducks, so I have been teaching them the sign (sign language) for duck. Yesterday Abigail almost did it...it was precious!!

Thanks Ernie and Liz

Thanks Ernie and Liz! We love the Branding Iron with Brian's intials on it! What a great gift!!! We had to have steaks last night just to try it out!!


It brands the initals BDS into the steak...how cool is that?

LAKEFRONT

Yesterday we decided to go to the Lakefront. It was GORGEOUS outside. It was a little chilly, but with a small coat on the girls it was great! They have some swings that the girls could sit in so we decided to try them out to see if they liked them! THEY LOVED IT!!!!


Daddy swinging the girls.

Amelia thought it was hilarious that daddy was swinging too!


Amelia swinging!



Abigail having a GREAT time!!!

Ernie and Liz's Crawfish Boil

Yesterday was Ernie and Liz's crawfish boil. It was a great way to celebrate their marriage. They had it at Liz's dads house. There was alot of crawfish and other yummy food, and a DJ. I think everyone had a good time. I didn't get many pics of the other guest, because I always had the girls with me and didn't get to move around too much! I never even got a pic of Ernie and Liz together! (sorry!)
Definitely check out the video of Uncle Aub singing and entertaining us all!

11 MONTHS OLD!

The girls turned 11 months on Saturday. It's so hard for me to believe that almost a year has gone by since they were born. People say time really flies....it REALLY does....ESPECIALLY with double the fun, double the diapers, double the bottles, and double the laundry! :) It makes me very sad to know that they are almost a year old, but also very excited to see them doing more and more on their own.
Both of the girls are cruising on things, and standing at times without holding onto anything. Abigail is definitely our little Ms. Explorer. She can get into anything in 2 seconds. If a baby gate is open she is going to go through it as fast as she can. Amelia is Ms. Social, and is much more cautious, but LOVES to talk and dance. They both love to give kisses, do Pat-A-Cake, be tickled, and splash in the tub. Abigail waves Bye- Bye and signs a few words now. They will both soon be walking which I am a little nervous about. :) They both make me laugh every day. The most heart melting moments for me are when they are laughing at each other for no real reason that I understand... of course they do... they are twins!
People always make the comment Better ya'll than me....
Yep they are right Better us!!
We have double the blessings, double the love, double the fun, and double the laughs.
I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Rub a Dub Two Girls in a Tub

We finished the girls bathroom. It's been done for a while I just haven't put the pics on here yet. The only thing we have left to get is a bathmat.
I haven't found one I just love yet!






The girls really like their new bathroom!
