We Have Lift Off

This is Henry's accomplishment for the week.  Needless to say Nick lowered his mattress before bed!

Henry is a busy body.  He wants to go all the time.  He thinks there is always something more fun to play with over there.  I ran to the kitchen and when I came back I found him playing in Cali's kitchen with this silly grin on his face!  He is so proud of his exploring!

Hannah is such a laid back girl.  She is just content to sit and play with toys.

Yesterday was the first time she showed any interest in going somewhere.  She went from sitting to her tummy then wiggled a little.  No real movement but this is a good start!

Time to baby proof the house again!

Blueberries and Peaches

For a summer adventure we decided to take the kids to pick blueberries and peaches today.   Nick was working so my mom "Nana" came to help.   Nana and Cali picked the peaches while I stayed with the twins.  Then Cali, Henry and I headed out for blueberries while Nana and Hannah stayed in the shade.

Cali found a blueberry!  It was pretty warm so we didn't pick that many.   Luckily they had pre-picked ones that we could add to our small pile.

 They had a tent with a cool air fan going that we enjoyed after our hard work.

8 Month Twin Update

Henry and Hannah are eight months old today!  I say this every month but man it goes by fast!  It seems like the key to the first year with babies is survival.  Once you get past the year mark you can start to breath and relax some.

Due to scheduling and life being crazy the babies just went to their six month check up this week.  They got 2 shots and did great!

The Dr. suggested we start to introduce sippy cups.  Cali is showing Hannah how to do it.  Hannah liked it but Henry wasn't a fan.  We'll work on it.

Henry - 8 months
