This month has been SO MUCH FUN! The girls are learning new things every day and I couldn't be more excited about what the future holds. With each day that passes I am reminded how blessed I am to spend my days with these two sweet girls and it seems like time just flies!
What's New?
Play time has become very interactive with these two. They love to sit on the floor in the nursery and play with their toys. They have figured out how to turn the pages of their books…their favorite one (I think) is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. They love to "help" me read the books by poking at the holes in the book and trying to grab at the different pictures that they see. Toy envy is still an issue this month and I am continuing to try and teach both girls that they can share…although most toys we have two of so it's really a "she has it and I want it" thing. Let's be honest, it's mostly Abigail that likes to take Audrey's toys right out of her hand. Thankfully Audrey isn't phased by Abby's attempts to swipe her toys…most of the time Audrey is quick to find something else to pick up and play with. The girls are now experts at walking around in their cars…they go forward, backward, and side to side. We have moved the coffee table out of the living room now so that these two can have plenty of room to roam. Occasionally we have a traffic jam that either myself, Josh, or nana has to fix but other than that the girls will walk around having so much fun.
Another new development...Abby is developing her crawling skills. She can scoot, roll, and rock her way to just about anywhere she wants to go. She is sure to be crawling very soon.
Time to baby proof the house!!
I was so excited for fall because that meant I got to buy new clothes for the girls! I can't believe that they are wearing 9 month clothes and some 12 month stuff.
They are growing girls…and well dressed I might add.
We went to the zoo for the 3rd time this month. We always have so much fun and this time the girls actually watched the animals. It was fun to watch them look at the elephants and giraffes…after the giraffe exhibit they fell asleep and Josh and I got to enjoy a date day with sleeping babes. It was great! And we only had 2 people ask if we had twins…that's a record considering usually everyone we encounter asks about them. I think twins are born local celebrities!

Your lamb wubanub, your tub of blocks, tummy time, scooting and rolling around, your elephant, your toy phone, and keys. Taking pictures! Going for walks around the neighborhood.

Peas are still on the short list of foods you do not care for. Not getting a nap…you love to sleep.
My sweet little girl, you are getting so big. You are constantly learning new things and it amazes me! I love when you give me sugars. Your laugh is absolutely contagious. You really are such a sweet heart and you are so happy all the time. Every day you remind me with your sweet smile how lucky I am to be your mama. I love you so much!
