Happy and Grumpy.....

I changed Andrew's clothes after church and laid him in his boppy.  He was so happy.  He was smiling and making noises and just generally in a good mood......so I thought.....
Two minutes later!!!!!

Sunday Best

These outfits were a gift to Averie and Andrew from Steve and Kathy Bethea, our good friends in  Mobile, AL.  I just thought Averie was soooooo cute in her bonnet and Andrew looked like a little man.  These clothes are newborn size and I am afraid we are about to out grow them.  Everyone at church just made over the twins in their dressy Sunday clothes.  

Togetherness

Andrew loves to watch his mobile on his bed.  He will lay there a good while and watch it turn.  The other day I put her in his bed with him to watch the mobile.  They stayed in there a good thirty minutes and they just looked cute in there together.  

We are BIG!!!!

Check out Averie and Andrew sitting in their Bumbo seats.  They are getting so big so fast.  They both have really good head control so I thought I would just see how they did in these seats.  It was so cute.  They thought they were big.  They are starting to stay awake more during the day.  Therefore, they are sleeping about 61/2 to 7 hours at night.  It is changing my life!!!!  Seriously, they are really doing great.  

Laughing to Crying......

I was playing with Averie this afternoon and it didn't matter what I did, sometimes she would smile really big and sometimes she would poke her lip out and cry.  That lip poked out is pitiful but really cute.  

We Want Out!!!

A couple of days ago Andrew and Averie were laying in their boppy pillows when all of a sudden they decided they wanted out.  It was so funny to watch them trying to climb over the top of the pillows.  They were grunting and pushing as hard as they could with those little feet.  I have never seen children that love their boppies as much as these two do.  I say thank the LORD!!!!

Fishes and Lots of Kids

August 7, 2008 Lori and her mom, Karen, and her son Maddox came to visit with us.  Also, our good friend Carla and her two children, Ellie and Tyler, came over to Chattanooga for the day.  We had a great day of fun at the Tennessee Aquarium.  Lori and Carla are my great friends from college.  I remember when we were at the University of Alabama and our only responsibilities were doing well in our classes and having a good time.  That has all changed.  Between the three of us we have 5 children.  It was funny at the aquarium because we hall had big strollers to maneuver around the building.  I felt sorry for the people that were behind us because we were slow.  Especially me because my babies stroller is more like train moving along.  Anyway, Averie, Andrew, and I have been a little under the weather this week.  I think we caught our cold from the waiting room at the doctor's office.  Isn't that funny, we go to the doctor and all get sick.  We started feeling better on Wednesday and everyday is a little better. 

Tumbling and Pretty Clothes

Averie loves to lay in her boppy and suck on her pacifier.  However, her sucking reflex is not strong enough to hold her pacifier without a little help.  So I have learned to prop her up where she can keep the pacifier in her mouth.  Anyway, the other day she lost her pacifier and decided to go searching for it.  She was grunting and pushing with her feet and eventually she ended up on her head sort of falling out of her boppy pillow.  It was really funny so I thought I would share.  

Averie is wearing an outfit that her Gram made her.  It is really cute and of course there is a matching burp cloth.  We are very fortunate that my mom, Averie's Gram, has such remarkable sewing ability.  This outfit looked store bought and Averie looked fabulous in it.
