Latest Pictures From My (Amanda's) Phone

So here's an awesome way to open up this post. We were traveling down to Perry to celebrate my brotherw and sister's-in-law birthdays. Alyssa and Audrey had both been napping. I was trying to take a picture of her sleeping cuteness and as soon as I was about to snap the picture......she woke up....I can't say she looked too thrilled to see the camera in her face.

Before they woke up I was able to get a picture of each of them sleeping.

No caption needed....

Alyssa had been sleeping the entire time we were out for our stroll. She woke up right as soon as I got to the front door.

This is our newest thing....Alyssa can ROLL!! However....this is a frequent occurrence...I was so busy taking a picture of this that she fell asleep again, and I hated to move her...she slept for a while like this happily.

Alyssa always has a ready smile.

Audrey smiles with her whole face.

Audrey hasn't mastered rolling over yet. Daddy saw her roll over once. They are definitely enjoying tummy time more now....

I caught Alyssa mid-roll....you can hear Audrey fussing in the background. They were both ready for nap time. 

****Videos won't work unless you are on a computer or laptop. iPhones and Kindles will not work (not sure about iPads, but I can assume they won't work either....) 

Nursery 2.0

When we added the ceiling fan to the nursery, poor Alyssa was being frozen out of the room, right under a draft from the fan. We decided to rearrange the room and I have to say it makes it a notch better than before. 

Here is just one picture. I need to touch up on paint and move some stuff around on the walls a little, but I'm excited at how pretty everything is. I'm so blessed with the best Mama ever! She has an amazing eye for decoration!

4 Months!!

September 9th was our 4 month birthday. We went to the dr on September 11th.

Alyssa weighs in at 14lbs 10oz and Audrey weighs in at 13lbs 7oz. 
We've had a slight growth spurt according to the dr and her charts. Really kind of neat to see. 

Both girls are healthy and growing right on track.

We grab for toys (and Mama's face), laugh, squeal, scream (mostly Audrey---very high pitched) and watch who enters and exits a room. 

Alyssa has rolled onto her side and usually sleeps in this position. 

Both Audrey and Alyssa enjoy short times in their bouncer saucer. 

Picture time this month was not so bad!!! We got some nice smiles!!

 These are the dresses that Allen and I bought from Hawaii. They are 12 month sizes and it has been neat to see the girls grow into them....although they don't seem super excited to be wearing them. Haha!

Selfies with Mommy

Audrey

Alyssa

Found a sweet message from Allen in the fridge outside. He's such a nerd! Love him!!

Visit from Owen

The girls got to meet Aunt Janda and Uncle Jason this weekend.

Owen was outnumbered but he handled himself well!

Owen may have been a little jealous of his Mommy's attention divided....Aunt Janda holding Audrey and Owen on the ball. 

Different Personalities

It is so neat to see how the girls are developing so differently. Alyssa has always been dubbed the "diva" she tells you whether she likes it or not and loudly. Audrey is the quiet one.....until today...they have switched roles on me and it's been interesting and fun.

I never get tired of seeing them side by side. Alyssa is the one wearing the "up all night" shirt. Because she was. Audrey and her sweet smile slept the whole night  through!!

Pictures from my phone...

Here is Audrey sitting for the first time in her Bumbo chair. She sat so nicely and didn't mind at all!

This was after a nap time. I always have them sleeping in their own cribs, but when they wake up at about the same time, I put them in the same crib and carry them out together back into the living room. THey were smiling a lot this day.

A little bit of google magic. I love how google takes several images and makes a little mini movie.

Found a head band and wanted to try it on Audrey. We're. NOT. Ready.

I think this is so funny the way she looks like she's just reclining. She was eyeballing her sister. Just looking and thinking.
