1st Hair Trim

March 16, 2010 - 1st Hair Trim

Abby getting her bangs trimmed up so we can see her pretty eyes!
Brooke's turn! She was a wiggle worm! Susie did an awesome job not butchering her bangs as she flung her head around and around!

Do you see that smile in the mirror!

February 12, 2010 - Life is busy now!!!

All within the first two hours after waking up this morning Abby has learned to pull herself up on the wall, take out the outlet cover, and eat it! Then I laid her down for nap, changed Brooke's diaper, turned around and Abby was standing in her crib! I laid her back down and left to watch the video monitor. Abby is now doing laps in her crib, stopping only to turn the light on and off. Brooke is laying there laughing hysterically! I am too!

Outlets!

Abby is both talented and determined! On her first try and then every other attempt there after she was able to get the "child proof" outlet covers out of the wall. She would then lick the outlet cover...

Assuming this would be next....

All the outlet covers in the house have been replaced with those new cool covers that you actually have to slide the plug in to place.

Both girls liked helping Daddy with this project.

I'm still hungry

Ooooppps, sorry Brooke I thought you were done!

Peek - A - Boo

Daddy taught us how to play Peek-A-Boo!

Brooke's Mohawk

I really do brush it flat after bath time. This is what we are greeted with each morning! She makes a mohawk look so cute!

Sledding

February 2010 - Sledding

Abby and Brooke had so much fun sledding for the very first time that even though we had brought them to the park in the stroller we ended up dragging them home in the sleds to keep the laughter going.

11 Months - February 2010

These smiles say more than I could put in to words! So much love! So much fun! Our hearts are bursting with joy!

Abby's second bottom tooth came in!

We love our hats that Grandpa Don sent from the Hmong people while he was visiting Thailand. Brooke cried every time we took the hat off of her for about 2 weeks!

Our friend Anastasia turned one, this was the first birthday party we have been too!

Abby on the slide at Jaxon and Wyatt's 1st birthday party! They heard the t.v. turn on!


Another day and look what has their attention again! The t.v.!

We do actually read too! (This is our new favorite face that Brooke makes and just like it looks she actually says "ooooohhhhhhhhh" with that cute little face)

10 Months - January 2010

January was filled with activity and development for Abby and Brooke.

Abby started crawling on February 2nd! Brooke had been army crawling since January 6th. Abby would just sit back and watch Brooke cruise around. I continued to think to myself one of these days she is just going to lean over on to all four and take off. That is literally what happened. I was working at my desk, Abby was playing in her room. We made eye contact, she leaned over, and crawled to me!

Brooke had two top teeth come in!

Abby had her very first tooth on the bottom start to come up!

Both girls will clap when you say clap or "yeah". It is very cute and makes us all laugh and smile!

Abby crawling for the 1st time! Brooke finally getting outside after a yucky ear infection.
Brooke clapping! Yeah!
Brooke riding and playing with the car at the same time.

Michael & Brooke cuddling.

I had sanitized the toys so they were all out of the basket, Abby is in awe.

Brooke loves Renia's knitting!
