6 months old!!!

The girls had their 6 month old birthday yesterday! We gushed on them and took lots of pictures. I use Picasa for photo editing and they have a new feature called, "collage". So I went ahead and made a little birthday picture collage for everyone. I know it is fairly small on here, so I am also posting some of our favorites by themselves. I made funny noises with my mouth to get most of these huge smiles.

Lilly bug laughing at mommy's noises!

Lexi smiling...Can you see the spit bubbles on her chin? She loves to blow bubbles and spit all over us.

Lilly is on top...we laid them on the white blanket and tried to get them all excited about turning 6 months.

Sweet kissable faces...
We were about to bundle up and go see the Holiday Lights display at B.L.O.R.A. when we heard a little bit of sleet start to fall. So we just took a couple pictures in Daddy's lap and then the girls got all snuggly and played under the Christmas tree instead. We will see if we can go tonight.

And might I add...they really don't look a thing like their Dad, do they? :) That is total sarcasm, of course!!

Cute Pictures...Again

Well it is 10:15 pm here in Harker Heights, and I cannot believe that my little girls will be officially 6 months old at midnight!! Wow...time flies. I now understand what my parents were talking about all those years. It is now become the tradition to take pictures on their "monthly" birthday, so tomorrow, expect a new post with pictures of the birthday girls!! Until then, here are pictures from this week with the "twincesses"!!

Lilly always wakes up happy and ready to play!

Lexi stayed up all day yesterday FIGHTING sleep...I finally got her to sleep and she slept SUPER HARD for about 15 minutes!!! :)

Happy Lexi

Photos at Sears

Well, we got the girls' first professional photos done and it was quite the experience. First of all, I hate the prices at those places. You just want great pictures of your children, not to sign your life and hard-earned money away. Second, by the time we got back there to take the pictures, we had been there an hour and a half and the girls were getting hungry and fussy. Plus, it was just too hot in that place.

But after all is said and done, the girls were cheerful and the pictures turned out so super cute!! We ordered some for relatives and such, but we also got the CD of digital images with a copyright release...yea for that!! Here are just 3 of the adorable images that were captured. I did not post any of the poses that were ordered because I still want it to be a surprise for some of the ones getting pictures.

These 3 pictures make me laugh because you can see the progression of Lilly falling over. She does great on tummy time, but now sees it only as an opportunity to roll over to her back. So we kept sitting her back up and she continued to roll to her back, like it was her favorite little game. It was pretty cute!! Lexi had a great smile at the beginning but it slipped away as Lilly kept being silly. :)

Ahhh, my little girls! What delights you both are...

Miss Lilly

Here she is...Miss Lilly! Yesterday we had a blog of her sister and today is dedicated to Lilly...they are both such darlings and the little loves of my life!!

Miss Alexis

I had some fun pictures of Lexi from the past few days and thought I would do a post of just her!!! Tomorrow we can do one of Miss Lilly!! Gotta love that bath hair!

Growing

I thought this was cute...here we have me holding the girls when they were around 4-5 weeks old. Lilly is in the brown and Lexi is wearing pink.
Now here is a picture that Eric took last night by our Christmas tree. The girls will be 6 months old one week from today!! Once again, Lilly is on the left and Lexi is on the right.

New Highchair

Well I brought the new highchairs in from the garage yesterday, and today, while the girls were napping, I got them all scrubbed down and clean. The previous owners had them in great shape and I didn't have to do much, just wipe them down. When the girls woke up, we put them in and Eric got the camera...they weren't sure what was going on at first, but they loved the toys!!
