Everyday Life

Feeding Time
The girls are almost 7 months and it is amazing how it does get easier. Usually I don't have to feed them at the same time, one will usually be patient, but that day they both needed to eat right then or else. I did have a good technique of feeding them on the couch, but they were too close to each other and spent the whole time trying to grab each others' bottles and/or face.
Sharing
It is so fun to watch them play, whenever they are close to each other they always want the same toy and trade it back and forth. It is nice that it doesn't upset them to lose the toy. They get really excited now when they see each other after waking up from a nap. I hope they will be great friends.

Rollin'
Who needs to crawl when you can roll! Well thanks to Uncle Mike, Ashley learned to roll over from her back to her stomach. I didn't realize this would be life changing until we got back from Idaho and within a few minutes Ashley was trying to shove herself under the couch. She had rolled 6 feet from her play area.

Rockin'
Sierra for some reason will not roll over from her back to her stomach. She loves to spend most of her time rockin' in the crawl position. She does scoot backwards and she loves to jump. Maybe Uncle Mike will come and teach her.

Squash
Ashley really liked her first bite of squash. She has now moved on to carrots and is an avid eater.
Sierra was not quite sure about this new substance being placed in her mouth. She now loves it and she loves to spray you with the food in her mouth.

Bedtime
Ashley and Sierra chillin' in Sierra's crib.

80's Party
We actually do get to go on some dates still thanks to great friends willing to babysit. My friend had an 80's themed b-day bash. It was so fun to dress up. I know you can't tell from the photo, but Jeremy had on this cuff earring and he looked so hot in his costume. I loved curling and ratting his hair. The party was awesome, we danced the night away or at least until 10 when everyone had to go home to relieve their babysitters. My favorite part was serenading the husbands, who were hanging out on the deck while their wives danced, to "Let's hear if for the boys."

Mother's Day
For Mother's Day Ashley and Sierra helped Jeremy make me this beautiful picture frame. On either side of the WE is their footprints in pink paint.

Bath time
This is Ashley fresh from the bath. I love her rolls.

Sierra is just starting to figure out the bath time is playtime and she is starting to kick and splash, with Jeremy's encouragement.

Papa

My dad came for the weekend and had a wonderful time playing with the girls. It was fun to see how excited he is to be a grandpa. He kept wanting to wake the girls up so he could play with them.
