It's Been Awhile.

Ok guys. Here are the pictures I've been promising. Sorry it's taken so long, but sometimes I get a little sidetracked.

I took this picture last night. I went in and told the babies to settle down and took their books that they were tearing up. Ten minutes later Beau calls me into their room to show me this.

They had taken every single animal out of their cubbies. I am assuming Paige did the grunt work while Gaite supervised. Typical male, right?

I absolutely love this picture. Paige is such a hot mess.

They love their Cozy Coupe. Thanks to Lollie and Poppy they now have two and I don't have to deal with the trauma of making them share.

Here is our oh so handsome sailor. This was right before he flew off to palm trees and balmy weather. I am so proud of my baby brother and am a little jealous that he gets to live at Pearl Harbor.

Uncle Ru and sister re bonding. Gaite still wasn't sure about the tall bald man staying with him. I agree Gaite, he can be a little creepy.

Yes, Gaite's 95% sized head can wear Andrew's cover. He is just so darned cute!!

My little Swimmers

We took Gaite and Paige swimming for the first time this past weekend and they loved it! I can already tell that we are creating monsters. The next day we went again and they were fighting to get in the pool. They are such a hot mess!

They were a little weary of everyone splashing but soon got the hang of it. Now if we can just keep them from drinking the water.

Here is Gaite after getting his first haircut, sniff. Kudos to Lisa for doing an Awesome job! He did a really good job sitting there and he had all the ladies in the salon eating out of his little chubby hands. He is so gorgeous!!!!

Here is Paige and Daddy reading a book for the millionth time. If there is a book around her she will stalk you until you read it to her. She is going to be so smart. Many thanks to Lollie for the new books, I have all of her other ones memorized.

Just Bragging

Today Gaite took his first unaided step. Yea! We are one step closer to us all walking to the car instead of making 10 trips. So Excited.

New and Improved

Gaite and Paige enjoying their hot wheels at Grandma's. They love this wagon and so do I. I mean it even has seat belts. Crazy.

Here is Gaite after eating oreo's. By the way oreo's actually stain some fabrics. Who knew?

He is absolutely so gorgeous. He gives great hugs and will even give you a pat on the back when you need it.

Paige is my diaper maiden. I love it, Paige usually doesn't but she looks so cute I can't help it.

She is the cutest vampire baby I've ever seen. Edward and Bella Cullen have nothing on me.

As usual partners in crime. Don't ever turn your back and don't let them smell your fear.

I have to brag...

Tonight Paige took her first unaided step. The first time she took one step right into her daddy's arms. By the end of the night she was up to 3 consecutive steps. It won't be long and she will be running me in circles. I am so proud of her, she is such an angel. Hopefully I can catch it on camera tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Paige & Gaite

We had an awesome first birthday with family and friends. The babies were happy and seemed to have a good time. I was worried about how it would go considering the babies have been sick but it all went great. (Minus the horrid sunken cake that was one gender short.)

Paige was cruising around on her car waiting for the fun to begin. She looked so precious in her little sailor dress. I absolutely love her arm rolls. Reminds me of my pregnancy.

Here is Gaite chilling with Uncle Mike. He looked so sweet and handsome in his little sweater vest.

When it came time to eat cake, Paige jumped right in, Gaite however needed to poke it first.

Gaite is such a ham. As soon as he saw that people were laughing at how he was eating his cupcake he put on quite a show. Paige, once again was all business.

Yikes. I left the clean up of Gaite to Beau while I attempted to clean up Paige. I don't know which is worse. She really hates to get cleaned up.

Better Late Than Never

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. I find myself very busy, but I will try my hardest to keep you all updated with my beautiful babies.

THANKSGIVING DAY

Here are a few pictures of the babies on T-day. I love when they hold hands. They usually hold hands or try to feed each other at every meal. They are so sweet.

Here we all are at Laura and Tommy's Christmas Party. I think this picture speaks for the babies personalities itself.

CHRISTMAS DAY

After telling the babies no for two weeks about getting into the presents they were a little apprehensive about opening up all of their goodies. They had a good time though, there was just so much paper to eat.

NEW YEARS DAY

I love these pictures. My thanks to Aunt Jen for the awesome pictures with her fabulous camera. I will be posting more from their 1st birthday party later.
