6 months!!!!

6 month pictures we had taken at Target that turned out better than we ever expected! Aren't they the cutest babies!!!! Thanks to Koby for the Fireman hat! If you want to check out the rest of the pics, go to my facebook page.








6 months! Where did the time go? As my friend pointed out the twins are 1/2 a year old. That is crazy to me that it has been that long, since they were born.
Addison weighs 12 lbs 7 ozs and is 24 in long. Addison is my sweet little Addie bug. She loves to do this little laugh, just to get any ones attention. She loves to just coo. She likes to be in the middle of things going on. She is such a good baby! She has mastered rolling over and can roll all over. She can sit for a little while, but when she falls over it scares her and she arches her back. Which makes her hit her head on the ground first and pretty hard. I don't like to sit her up unless you are right there with her. She is my little eater. She loved the rice cereal and would eat a ton of it. We started peas the other day and she ate and ate and ate. After half the jar was gone she started gaging on it. It was like she was just eating so fast she wasn't even tasting it. She seems to like the peas, but still gags once in awhile. She loves to go shopping as long as she is the one in the front pack. Her little face lights up and she squeals when we go pick up Cassady from school. She still loves her Bottles and cry's if she sees them. She will open her mouth and grab at it if you put one in front of her. She likes her binky and can be put to sleep easily with one. She popped her first tooth on Sept. 18 and her second yesterday. I really didn't even know she was teething until we saw the 1st tooth. The second tooth wasn't as easy. She is rather shy, but warms up after a little while. We just spent 5 days at my parents house and she warmed up to grandma and grandpa. She instantly took to my brother Trevor. Kylee and I think her hair will be brown and with those big brown eyes she just melts your heart.
AJ weighs 14 lbs 7 oz and is 26 inches long. AJ is almost completely opposite of Addie. He sits up with ease and goes from his bum to his knees. At about 5 1/2 months he started crawling. In the last week he has gotten so fast. While at my parents he started pulling himself up on things. He even climbed a stair after watching Cass do it. He is crazy! He never sits still and is always on the go. He is also so loud and will scream, just to hear himself scream. He loves to blow raspberries, which sometimes makes Addie laugh. I think he is teething (I have thought that for 3 months now). He is the drooliest. He will crawl over to you and just bite you and if he gets skin it hurts. He doesn't bite while I am nursing him. Thanks goodness. He still does not sleep through the night. He did for about a week and I was so excited, but it was short lived. Last night he got up at midnight and 5 am. At 5 he is up for a few hours and by then Addie is up and Josh is gone. Sleep is something I long for. When some one gets AJ to laugh we all stop and listen to him. He is so fun to see laughing. The other night at my mom's it was just me and Cass and the babies and I was laying on the floor with both babies holding onto me and I had them both laughing. Cass and I had so much fun making them both laugh. AJ is the biggest Mama's boy. Which is OK with me most of the time. He loved being outside. He would crawl to the end of the blanket and eat the grass. He has the best smile that lights up his whole face and it makes everyone smile. He loved his cereal at first then after a few weeks he refused to eat anymore. I eventually got him eating a little cereal again. Then we started peas! He is loving the peas. He really likes to blow raspberries once I put a spoonful in his mouth. We all end up with peas all over us.

My 2 favorite guys
Playing with my Cass
AJ helping get grandma's Christmas gifts ready during conference.
We try to go out and try to do normal things. Like the living planet aquarium.
Thanks to grandma for always being willing to pack a baby. She gets some weird looks.

Some days are great with the babies and some are a nightmare! We are doing well, I think. Josh is great to help out when he gets home. He is organizing his time really well now that he is in the bishopbric. He is always thinking about how he could give me a break. Although this Sunday will be our first Sunday without family here to help. Wish us luck!
