Weekend Fun

We had another busy weekend! On Saturday we saw some old friends and got to meet their new baby, Grayson. Then Aunt Ashley and her friend came over that night to babysit. We got to have dinner at the Movie Tavern in Fort Worth. We saw "Date Night" which was very funny!

I've been playing with my Flip video camera and looking at some older videos of Bethany and Zachary. It's crazy to see how small they were in the NICU...and now they're almost 6 months old! If you're looking at this on facebook, you'll actually have to go to my blog to see these videos.

Glad it's the weekend!

I can't help smiling at these open mouth grins! They're starting to grab at more things, which includes my hair. Ouch! We've now tried green beans, and next we're trying peas. I think I'll start adding in some applesauce during the day. Maybe we'll do a fruit in the morning with rice cereal and veggies at night. Any suggestions on what/when to feed them?

Fun Photos

A couple of days ago I took the kids over to my parents' house for some play time. Katie and Randal were there, so I got some random pictures. I've learned this week that carrots stain! I think we'll try green beans next. Maybe they won't be as much of a mess! Here's how Bethany naps during the day. You can't tell, but she likes to suck her left thumb (upside down). Crazy girl!

Zachary's a very serious jumper :)

Randal's crazy hair...

Cousin Katie

Opening Day

The Rangers won! Daddy got to go to the game while the kids and I watched it at home. I took a picture of the boys before he left. When Bethany and Zachary get a little bigger we'll be going to baseball games as a family! This is also my 300th post :) A lot has changed since my 1st blog post.

Easter 2010

Bethany and Zachary got to go to their first wedding on Saturday night, so we got all dressed up! They did pretty well, but Aaron missed most of the reception because Bethany was crying. He also missed most of class on Sunday morning because she was crying again. I don't know what's going on with her! Anyway, we had a day full of Easter celebrations. I'm looking forward to next year when they can run around and find eggs with their cousins!

Rolling Over

It's so funny to see the difference in Bethany and Zachary's personalities. He's not a big fan of tummy time, but that's probably because he hasn't figured out how to roll over yet. Yes, his sister has rolled over more than once from tummy to back! She's also become a thumb sucker. I knew she didn't like the pacifier as much, but I was surprised to find her asleep the other day while sucking her thumb! And I'm still trying to get a video of Zach's laugh.

Messy Eaters

What have we been up to around here? Well, last week we tried sweet potatoes and now we're trying squash. They both eat up their rice cereal and seem to like their vegetables. We'll try some fruits in a few weeks! Bethany and Zachary both like to spit the food back out, so I have to watch out when I'm feeding them. She's a little bit messier than he is, so bath time is very important!We also started taking the kids to cradle roll class at church, and we've been going on walks almost every day.
