The "Jumpy-Jump"

The babies LOVE their Jumperoo. We call it the "Jumpy-Jump" for some odd reason. AJ will actually play in this thing until he falls asleep! Sometimes his daddy puts him in it if he's tired and sure enough, he falls asleep. It's SO cute and funny! Christina has springs in her legs and can jump for days. Sometimes...well, alot of times...she can WEAR YOU OUT with all of the jumping...so you can just put her in the Jumpy-Jump and she can jump all she wants!

Teefers!

Christina was biting on my finger today...she likes to bite on EVERYTHING...and I felt TEETH coming in! And sure enough I could actually see two of them really well! They are on the bottom and SO cute! I really tried to get a picture but she's a VERY wiggly girl. Her batteries hardly ever wear out! :-) Here is the best I could do (for tonight) and if you look really close...and see anything that is pearly white...those are the princess' new teefers!

All About AJ

AJ's first 4 or so months were not too good. He was pretty miserable alot of the time. He has bad reflux and until we were able to get that under control...he was hurting...and it was hard and broke my heart. Now...AJ is SO happy almost ALL of the time. He laughs and talks and is SO sweet. He's very cuddly and flirty. He's the sweetest boy.

In the last couple of days he has really been picking up his skills fast. He is reaching for everything and sitting up SO much better. He is now loving baths and kicks and splashes. He enjoys his activity mat and even his sister - who steals every toy he has AND his paci...will crawl on him and grab on him. She absolutely LOVES her brother. It's really sweet. It didn't take him long after feeling better to start picking up speed in his development :-) Here are some really wonderful pictures of my perfect son.

Sitting up REALLY well, playing with his sister.


Now this picture is just cute. Just an adorable pair they are!


Here is my happy boy. It's hard to get him to smile for the camera much anymore because he's so interested in the camera itself! And I'm REALLY loving him in orange!


AJ is LOVING bathtime - finally!



This picture was taken just because I just think he's SO cute with his hair brushed after a bath.

She did it!

Christina can now roll over in both directions :-) So Mommy gave her the special blankie that she bought for her. I can't wait till AJ can have his too! Here she is her first night with her blankie.

Black & White

I was just playing around with the black and white feature on the camera and I thought these pictures came out nice.

Where are they?

This video is from tonight after we got home from spending a wonderful day with the family. The batteries had been dead in the baby einstein bouncy for awhile and I decided to replace them tonight (they aren't that easy to do). I put the "forest" sounds on for Christina and everytime she heard a "cricket, frog, water drop, etc." she would look and look. She knew exactly where the noise was coming from...but she just couldn't find "them". I laughed and laughed so hard...even when taping this video I had trouble being quiet and keeping the camera from shaking! Adorable.

All dressed up for Easter service!

I had a little trouble getting a good picture... but here are the babies dressed up for church today. The dress Christina is wearing (and the pink sweater) is Rachel's. She wore it a few years back for Easter. I thought it was very special. AJ's outfit was bought special by Mommy for this very day :-)

Easter baskets and bunny ears...

These aren't their "first" easter baskets. Their grandma actually got them these adorable ones that I will post later (thanks grandma!)...but this is their first from Mommy and Daddy that they will use for years to come. I can't believe they have princess eggs and sports eggs! Too cute!



Happy Easter everybody!

First Easter Bunny Visit

Avery took the babies to see the Easter bunny on his day off. Yes, I was upset that I missed it, but this picture is just SO adorable! Avery said they were smiling alot until he walked away. I guess they just aren't used to sitting on something so big and hairy! ha ha ha It's amazing to me how much they've grown since they met Santa...they slept through that entire experience!
