My Mammers' 81st Birthday

Saturday, October 17 was my Mammers' 81st birthday, so Hailey, Mason and I threw a little family party in her honor. Daddy had to work, so it was just the 3 of us with all of my aunts and uncles. We had a great time and enjoyed some good food and lots of laughs. It was great to everyone together for such a special occasion and of course Hailey and Mason got all of the kisses and hugs, since they were the only kids there.

Karen, Ronnie, Mammers and Uncle Bob. Side note about Uncle Bob - he just had his "Save Reunion" at Casey's fire station. He had a heart attack and coded - the guys on duty that day (not Casey's shift) were able to do CPR and get him back....pretty cool! Thank you, Station 31 B-Shift!

Sleepy eyes!

Hailey hugs are the very best!

After everyone left, the grandmas stayed for more one on one time with the babies.

Goer caught up on my People magazine while great grandma and grandma continued to ooh and ahh over the babies.

It was a great day and one that will definitely be remembered.

Happy Birthday Mamms - we love you!!!

Happy Half-Year Birthday!

Six months old! Where does the time go? I know it sounds so cliche, but that really is a good chunk of time and it seems like Hailey and Mason just arrived. Then when I think back to how we were able to get sleep before the babies came, and six months seems like an eternity ago. While we're not sleeping through the night...please continue to pray for us! :) We are doing so much and changing everyday!

• We love babyfood! We're now at Stage 2 foods and we like all fruits and vegetables. We don't really care for Hawaiian Delight or bananas by themselves, but we will eat most anything else.


• We are taking 7 oz of Enfamil ProSobee with 10 tsp of cereal in each bottle.


• We eat babyfood 3 times a day after our "bot-bot" (bottle).


• We respond to Mommy and Daddy signing "milk" when hungry.


• We're working on learning sign language for Mommy, Daddy, change (as in diaper) and socks.


• Mason wears size 3 diapers, Tiny Hiney Hailey is still in size 2 diapers


• We are sitting with less and less support everyday


• We are teething like crazy...Teeth, please some soon!!!!


• We love to play in our bouncer and exersaucer


• We smile and laugh all the time


• Mason can roll all around and will roll to get to whatever he wants


• Hailey can roll from her belly to back - still working on back to belly - will be any day (if not this evening)


• Hailey love to stand - once she does roll over we think she'll be crawling before Mason


• We have our own separate cribs


• We love biter biscuits


• We will get our 6 month vaccines and flu shots at the beginning of November


• We love to look at each other and we make each other laugh and smile all the time


• We are fascinated by Piper and Tiggs (our cats)


• We LOVE bath time.


• We think our highchairs are super fun


• We are the most precious, most loved babies ever...just ask our proud parents!

Here are the pictures I took while trying to get them to both hold the number "6" and look at the camera.

Mason wanted to steal Hailey's number after he threw his off the couch.

Mason decided to help Hailey hold her number.

We almost got our picture until Mason decided he wanted to be 9...we think he might be jealous of Sister being 4 minutes older than him.

Mason decided if he can't be 9 months old, then he'll just eat his number 6.

This was as good as it got...maybe next month they'll cooperate just a little bit more.

Guess Who Will Be 6 Months Old Tomorrow?

Our Precious Loves!
