Taking Time To Smell The Daisy'sWell... it's hard to believe... but in one month our girls will be 1 year old!! That's right! Today is their 11 month birthday!
They are growing so quickly!
There are so many new things that they are doing... I won't bore you with them all... but here are a few!
They are starting to talk!! Kiara say's 'Hi!' and 'Teddy' and 'Sister'... and probably a dozen other words that we haven't recognized yet!
They are starting to walk! Amaya will walk for long stretches at a time with help or by herself pushing her 'walk-along' toys!
Cruisin' down the hallway at our apartment!They love to read books with us and turn the pages when we ask them too! Kiara will often begin to read us stories out loud... using gestures and charismatic movements to tell the story!
We've been hangin out with good friends... here are the girls with Morgan... good times!!
With the cutting of new teeth.... we decided to try new things... like PICKLES!!!
They LOVE pickles!!! Must be a couple of Dennis girls!
They have been 'waving' for a while... but have recently learned that you wave as a greeting or farwell... when Daddy goes to work in the morning our girls stand and wave to him as he goes out the door... and when he returns he get's big smiles and waves hello!
The girls have also been learning how to 'get in trouble'... I've heard of twins working together... and possibly getting into more trouble than they would on their own... well if anyone was looking for evidence... check out these photo's!
Getting into the Klenex!
Getting into the puffed wheat!!!
notice that Kiara has a BIG bag of puffed wheat that she obtained from the table where I had placed it out of reach (or so I thought) and she has discovered that if she dumps the whole bag out onto her lap... it will trickle down onto the floor... so that her sister Amaya can enjoy some too!
Anyone who REALLY knows us... has discovered that we're a bit crazy... and when you add a 12 year old into the mix... you get this:
Ninja Babies!!!ahh ...fun times!
This past month we were blessed to have my neice Janelle stay with us! She was a fantastic help! We did lots of fun things that I can't do on my own... like going shopping and going to the pool and the SPRAY PARK! The girls were so happy to play with her... and she enjoyed being here too! When she did leave to go home I wondered how I EVER DID THIS WITHOUT HER!!?! A few tears were shed... but I think I'm back into the swing of things now!
Janelle and the girls at the Spray Park!We have also been thankful that the girls have maintained a schedule of going to bed at 8pm and sleeping until 7am (sometimes 6:30). Napping is still a challenge but we're working on it! If anyone reading this is wondering... how did they do this?? Read 'The Sleep Easy Solution'... it works!!!
Here is what a well-rested mommy looks like!
hee hee.... it helped that Janelle was still around too!Well... I have one other bit of news!! Today they began putting the upstairs walls on our house!! If this keeps up and there are no delays we hope to be in our new home for Christmas!!
yes... I just said CHRISTMAS!!!
enjoy the rest of your summer!
one last laugh!!
PICKLES!!!!!

The girls are so sweet. It's hard to believe how fast time passes. Congratulations on the sleep. You are my inspiration doing it all with 2 beautiful daughters...not just one like me. My prayers are with you guys and your house.
What a blast with double trouble. I laughed so hard at that puffed wheat picture. I think they have "go-go gadget" arms when we aren't looking!
crystal you look so good in that picture with your girls :) i can't believe how old they are already...
I love the ninja babies picture. It is so cute.
