April pics

Here's some pics I took last Saturday. I'm very excited to say that Avery is finally walking really well. It's so cute to watch the two of them toddle all around together. There's still a lot of tripping and falling, but it's getting better. We went to our family reunion on Sunday, and it was quite a challenge keeping an eye on both of them at the same time! Our biggest obstacle right now is learning to share. They are best buddies one minute and pulling each other's hair and crying the next. It's a work in progress...

I came in the living room and saw Kara feeding her puppy with the baby bottle. Then she fed the baby too. So cute to see her pretend playing.

This is what I see atleast a hundred times a day...Avery or Kara coming up to me with a book and saying "book, book, book" until I read it. We read a heck of alot of books every day.

Ah! Reading by themselves

I love this picture of Steve reading to them

It's basketball time! Kara loves to run around and play catch with the basketball. As you can imagine, Steve is thrilled. :)

Crazy hair

I like Avery's silly expression. While Steve was rolling the basketball to Kara, Avery was twirling around the living room in circles playing her music. Could they be any different?

A happy moment for both of them with no hair pulling.

Fun at the park

We went to the park last weekend to have some professional pictures taken of the girls. As usual, not a smile was to be seen during the photo session. I'll post a couple pics when I get them. Afterwards, we played in the grass for a while. Kara had a great time running around and falling all over the place. Avery is finally confident enough to walk on her own, but the uneven ground was too much for her to handle.

Still going...



Time to leave!

Easter pics

We celebrated Easter at Gigi & Grandad's house and had a "sort of" Easter egg hunt. It was lots of fun.

Examining an Easter egg

What is this thing?

Kara loves her Gigi

Opening her Easter present

When I tell the girls they're a "sweetiepie" or "cutiepie,"
they both lean their head over to the side and
smile at me like they're saying "I know."


Easter eggs are fun!

Looking for more eggs

March pics

I know I've been a terrible blogger, but I'm catching up now! Here's some recent pictures. Everyday the girls amaze me at how different they are. Avery loves musical toys and Kara loves stuffed animals and things she can take apart (and through all over the room). Avery is very sensitive and cries alot if she falls down. Kara usually just shakes it off and keeps going. We think she'll be the little athlete and Avery will be the musical one. :) And finally...Kara gives lots of kisses and Avery gives lots of big hugs...both equally sweet!

Cruising around the living room

Running around the living room up to no good...

Avery's favorite toy is a little music player. It plays some different classical pieces. She carries it around with her most of the time. Kara will carry around a stuffed animal and give it kisses, but not Avery. She'll all about the musical toys.

Falling asleep on the legos

Kara thinks she's in the cast of Flashdance. She insists on pulling her arm out of her pajamas every night (and sometimes out of her shirts during the day).

Having fun at bedtime

Dance Kara!

The girls like to talk & entertain each other at bedtime/naptime for a little while before settling down.

February pics

Kara has started walking really well. Avery is right behind her but not quite as confident. She still prefers to cruise along furniture or crawl. It's so fun to watch them play together (when one's not stealing a toy or pulling hair)! They play peekaboo and chase each other around the furniture laughing hysterically.

Always up to some mischief

Kara pushing Avery

Looks a little crazy, doesn't she?!

Visiting with Grandpa and Nana

Kara is always eager to explore anywhere she can wiggle into

Oh mom, no more pictures please!

The girls love swinging! It's nice we live in walking distance to a park.




Both girls love reading books
