Growing!

Claire has had a big day! 8 month shots this morning, and took 3 steps at school! Can't wait to get home and do some more walking!

Obsessed

We have been watching Annie a LOT these days. Harper dances and sings & I think it's so cute!

Claire is eight months old!

I can't believe how the time has flown by. Here are our girls taking a little break at the gulf shores zoo. It was sooooo hot!

Little Girls

We've been having lots of fun getting settled into the new house. Who knew that we had so much junk?! We still don't have Internet service yet (nutso!) nor have I found my computer cord. So that basically means that there are A LOT of photos living on my memory card, just waiting to be shared.

It's been a busy summer so far. We've had weddings and wedding showers, family reunions & several new milestones. Claire has been cruising for a few weeks and has two tiny teeth! Harper also cut a molar at the same time. Did I mention how much FUN we've been having? Ah, part of babies and kiddos. We are really blessed to have our precious girls!

A beach trip is coming up soon. I can't wait to see Claire's reaction-it'll be her first visit. Harper will love it this year!

Here are the little darlings getting ready for bathtime:

Home!

Aaahhhh, we have finally moved into the new house! It was like Christmas, so I couldn't sleep, but Ken and the girls were snoring away!

Slowly but surely, we are getting everything unpacked. Moving is a lot harder with two little ones underfoot! Everyone has a bed (even though they end up in ours), and the kitchen is all set up. That's all systems go as far as I'm concerned. Everything else will fall into place. This momma is a little sleep deprived though, so if you see me and I seem old, disheveled, or unshowered, please cut me a little slack!

Busy Girls!

We have been very busy this Spring. I think I have failed to mention on here that we have had our house for sale, sold it and now are camping out with Grandmommy and Daddy Ray until the new house is completed. We are just very thankful that our other house sold so quickly, and that we had this opportunity to build. It's something we've always wanted to do, and I have reeeeeaaallllly loved getting to pick everything out! Our girls really have been angels in the midst of it all. We have all enjoyed getting to spend extra time with family, but I think Harper especially loves the mule rides and chocolate chip cookies! She loves her grandparents, that's for sure :) This should be our last week before the move to the new house. It's just a few minutes away, in a really fun, new neighborhood. I can't wait!

She loves the fish dress almost as much as her pink tutu.

Still wearing flowers in her hair :)

 Claire decided to start bear crawling 

 Surprised she looks so happy with that thing at her neck like that!

Getting better with practice! It's so funny to see her do this. In the beginning, she would have her head on the floor, more like the "downward dog" yoga pose.

Fast foward a week or two, and here's the big girl in the high chair.

Trying rice cereal for the first time.

 Tire swing fun

Do you remember this feeling? It makes me so happy to see her loving it!

Mmmm, rice cereal

Since Claire is six months old, we decided to give some cereal a whirl. She gobbled it up pretty good but it ended up giving her a terrible tummy ache. So terrible that mommy only pieced together three or four hours of sleep that night...we may give it a liiiitle while longer!
