Here’s me and Nora, taking a nap last September. And then there was Tessa:

One reason is that we live near our cousin Vance.

Tessa likes to say ‘hello!’.

Vance is strong. Here he shows off his muscles!

We like to just hang out together. We miss our other cousins, and hope we can see them soon!

Yup, this is better than eating books…

We’ve made the slow progression to “solids” over the last few months and both Nora and Tessa are eating like champs.

I meant solid food, not solid objects!

This month we got the green light from the pediatrician to start on solids at every meal. Their favorite food is carrots. They aren’t so found of bananas and applesauce–but we’re sure they’ll come around. While feedings now take longer and are more involved and MESSY, it is a joy to watch the girls explore this new world of food.

At first we fed the girls in their bebe pods (i.e., the greatest baby invention–ever!). This worked out well because they could sit up and eat and it left our hands free to spoon food and not worry about them tipping over.

We’ve recently moved to the high chair for feedings. At first the girls seemed dwarfed by the massive chair.

But, now they’re growing into their chairs (and soon they’ll be growing out of them–like everything else).

Of all the yummy food they’ve begun to explore, Nora and Tessa love it the most when they get their delicious bottles. Especially when the bottles come with a slice of love from their grandparents.

Oh, football season is over?  What about “Go Royals???” Oh, it’s STILL February?  Go…uh…”Wearing Red/Yellow/Chiefs Gear Day”????

Ok, so Mommy just really liked this pictures and needed an excuse to post it.  We’ll be ready for next season.

Like…

their tiny little toes…

…the deepest blue eyes…

This is so much fun.  To anyone interested–I highly recommend having twins.

Often, she’ll give you a good look while her head is pointed downward. She knows what you’re up to….

I love this trait in her. It’s so cute!
