Seeing Green

We interrupt our usually very late posts to say

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

(And look...it's actually St. Patrick's Day)

(Although to be perfectly honest, none of these pictures were actually taken on SPD)

Love, Max, Ben, Addie, and Emmie

Addie and Emmie at Nine Months

Emmie left, Addie right

Addie and Emmie on February 20th you turned nine months old!

Emmie you are are 18.6 pounds and 27 and 3/4 inches tall.

Addie you are 18 pounds and 27 3/4 inches tall.

You are both doing better at sitting up! Addie you are sitting up all by yourself, and Emmie you are doing it with a bit of help every now and then.

Emmie

Emmie you are pulling up onto your knees like you are about to take off crawling. Addie you are starting to try to army crawl just a tiny bit. Mostly ya'll still roll anywhere you want to go.

Emmie you started shaking your head "no," and not long after Addie did too. Sometimes I think you know what it means, and sometimes I think you do it just to be funny.

Addie

Addie you like to wiggle when someone sings to you or you hear music. Emmie does it a bit too, but Addie you really get into it.

Emmie you repeat/mimic everything you hear.

We switched to cheerios from puffs. You are both fans.

You are both starting to seem like such big girls!

Pirates and Princesses

On Valentine's Day my mom came into town and we took the boys to see the Disney Junior Live Pirate and Princess show. I had been looking forward to taking them for months, and we had so much fun. The boys really seemed to enjoy themselves (I'm sure all the souvenirs Mimi bought helped), and  it was fun to see how much they liked it. Max talked about it for a long time and still wears his "Jake hair" often. He was enthralled the whole time, and Ben enjoyed it too, although he got a little restless toward the end. That's what popcorn is for!

 Ready for the show!

Can you tell we woke them up early from nap?

 Max was SO excited.

 Saying cheese...but too interested in looking around to actually pay attention.
