Summer Fun

Summer Fun

We are enjoying our first summer with twins, the babies have tried swimming (well Brayden decided it was nap time so he really only got to put his feet in when he woke up). Ashlyn loved it, we think she is a true water baby. We took a vacation to Texas and Landon was so excited to see some camels on a farm as we were driving down the highway. We hope you all are enjoying your summer as well.

An update on the babies new milestones. At the last doctors appointment (6/20/2008) Brayden was 16 pounds and 25 inches and Ashlyn was 15 pounds 3 ounces and 24 1/2 inches. Both babies can roll just about anywhere now, Ashlyn can get up on all fours and can scoot backwards. Ashlyn also has her first two teeth coming in (her two on the bottom in the middle). Brayden can hold his own bottle now, and Sunday night (7/13/2008) they started talking to each other. They are changing so fast, I can't believe they will be 7 months old this week. Love to all.

Happy 6th Month Birthday Tomorrow

We finally were able to get out our jumperoo and give it a whirl. We loved it. Here are a couple of pictures of us playing in it. Daddy got Mommy some flowers for their 6th wedding anniversary, he also gave her a candle.

Too Cool For the Camera

Ashlyn and Brayden just playing it cool for the camera.

Welcome

Welcome to our new blog. We have decided to start a blog to keep people updated on new things happening with the babies, and life in general. You can come here to see what new things the babies are doing and to see new pictures of them. I will try to keep it updated as much as possible, but life tends to get pretty busy with two babies. We hope everyone is doing well.
