Happy Birthday Steve!

Happy Birthday to Daddy from Avery, Kara, & Mommy!!! The big 3-0!!!

Sitting up!

Kara can sit up by herself now. Yah Kara!! Avery's getting there...but not quite yet.

Little cutie pie

Trying out the jogging stoller. The girls love going for walks. This stroller's great for outdoors...nobody's view is blocked like in the back/front stroller. So we haven't actually used it for jogging yet...

Father's Day & Mommy's Birthday

Happy 1st Father's Day Steve!

We had a full weekend with my birthday yesterday & Father's Day today. Last night we had a rare treat...we got to go out to dinner! We put the girls to bed & then a friend stayed with them while we went to Saltgrass with Steve's mom & Tom to celebrate our birthdays. (Steve's birthday is next Saturday). On Sunday we celebrated with my family.

Hanging out with the girls on my birthday

Father's Day

Hey Daddy!

Wearing our "I love Daddy" shirts

Celebrating with my parents (Gigi & Grandad), & Uncle Ben & Aunt Amanda

Where's Avery? ......

All worn out from a long day at her grandparents house!

6 month picture

So here's the only picture we got at their 6 month photo session. Right after this picture, they had a crying meltdown. Oh well...

We miss Daddy in this photo. He couldn't leave work that day.

Cousins Jake & Josh

I wanted to post some pictures of Kara & Avery's cute cousins Jake & Josh.

Jake with Jennifer & David (Steve's brother) at Disney World

This cracks me up!

Josh got to stay with his grandparents while Jake was away

Swimming with Grandpa Tom. Nice sunglasses!

They've grown so much!

I thought it would be fun to take their picture next to an outfit they wore when they were first born. I can't believe how much they've grown in 6 months. They've almost quadrupled in weight...from 4 & 1/2 pounds to 16 pounds.

They've changed so much from when they were first born. Here's a NICU pic. You just can't tell how tiny they were from this picture. I'll get all their early pictures posted eventually...


Gigi brought over my old Jack-in-the-box from when I was little. They didn't laugh when Jack popped out, but atleast they didn't cry! Kara just jumped a little.

Playtime

Fun on the changing table!

Me too!

More May pics

We just went for our first walk sitting in the stroller seats instead of the infant carriers. They're getting so big! It's so fun to watch the new things they do every day. Lately, the girls have both been trying out their "loud voice." Lots of shrieking when they're excited.

Trying out her first sippee cup. Kara did great. She got the hang of it right away.

Avery wasn't as excited about her sippee cup, but she sure loves her cereal!

I have to show off our dogs. This is Keats.

And this is Edgar. The dogs have been great with the girls. They just sniff them occasionally & the girls enjoy watching them.

Tummy time!
