The girls are learning all sorts of new things daily. Maddie's latest trick is to show us where her belly button is. I saw her discover it one day, told her what it was, and now she loves to find it and poke it. She still has a bit of an outie, so it is pretty easy for her to find. Not only does she like to pull her own shirt up to see what is under there, she loves to pull up mommy and daddy's too...not so funny.
The girls go wild when Chris walks in the door each night. They race to be the first one to get to him. They squeal and giggle with excitement. He went out to water the flowers this evening, and they followed him to the sliding glass door to watch his every move. They started acting goofy and making funny faces, so Chris caught it on camera. I'm sure they are going to love these pictures when they get older ;) Don't mind our filthy windows (dirty for obvious reasons) or the girls's snotty, crusty noses.
Lena giggling after Maddie gave her a kiss.
Giving kisses.
Blowing kisses.
I took the girls for a walk around the neighborhood this evening. It had been perfectly beautiful and sunny all day until we made it to the other side of the block. Typical. It didn't rain too hard, but it was misting pretty good. No one really minded, especially not Max...he loved it. When we pulled back into the garage I went to unbuckle Lena's seat belt, and she bent over and gave me a kiss. I smiled really big, and looked to see if Maddie was watching. She leaned over and gave me a kiss too. Then they looked at one another and gave each other a kiss. It was precious! They kept doing it, so I ran in and grabbed the camera. They think it is so funny to give each other kisses. It is priceless.
I got a bike and a trailer for my birthday, so we finally started using it in the evenings. A couple nights ago we took the girls out, and they fell asleep...worked like a charm.
We are one step closer to walking (I think). M and L love to balance on their own. Lena has stood up in the middle of the room a couple times without pulling up on anything. You can tell they are so proud of themselves when they turn loose, and they don't fall down. They always look at Chris or I to make sure we are watching. I know these aren't the greatest pictures, but since it was just me with them, it was hard to get a good shot. Not to mention any time you sit in the floor they act as if you are a jungle gym, so whoever was not performing their balancing act was crawling all over me!
