15 mo Dr Visit

The kids appear to be healthy and right on track!

Austin remains quite a bit bigger than Lilly...

Head: 2 inches larger
Weight: 5 lbs heavier
Height: 3 inches longer

This just continues to prove the fact that he's all boy and she's all girl! :o)

Update

Sorry - no pictures this post. We've taken some, but we've misplaced the camera cord to download them. We hope to find it once we move and get settled once and for all.

We're still "homeless" at this point. :o( We have a Purchase Agreement signed and are working to get things finalized on a new home; we hope to close within the next couple weeks. (We wasted quite a few weeks on a house that was on it's way to foreclosure...it just didn't work out so we wasted some time there. We have high hopes that this new house will go much smoother.)

We are convinced that the 'terrible two's' have started at 15 months for us - TIMES TWO. :o( We're going through a rough period with the kids right now. The last few weeks have been trying for us. They are very cranky, fighting most of the time with each other, picky eaters, and very different than the normal. Granted, we've moved from our old home to Papaw's, then on to Grandpa Marlin and Grandma Robbi's, and we're planning to move again soon all within the last month and a half. We're hoping that once we get settled in our new place, they will settle down as well, but we're not too convinced that is realistic with them. We'll see...

Not a whole lot more to report with the kiddos. Lilly is very very close to walking fully on her own. She loves to just walk around and hold onto one of our fingers with one hand, but she's still hesitant to let go fully at this point. Austin will walk if we make him, but he's not as interested in trying on his own just yet. (Which is very surprising because Austin has done everything first so far, except walking.) I used to kid that he was so top heavy due to his large head, but his neurologist confirmed that this is a valid point. She doesn't think it will hold up is progress much.

The kids are still as cute as can be (despite their attitudes) and growing like weeds. We'll get official weights and heights tomorrow at their check up. I'll post more pictures once we find the cord.

Ta ta for now...

Misc

Here are some random pictures of the kids...

Austin (with an orange nose for some reason)...

Austin standing against the couch trying to walk...


I'll warn you now...this may be the last post for a short while. We are in the process of moving, and I don't know when I'll have our computer back up or even have the time to take pictures and post them. I'll try to make the wait as short as possible. :o)

*Happy 4th of July*

Although it was a very rainy, gloomy day this year, the kids enjoyed spending time with family this 4th of July.
As you can see, it was difficult to get a decent picture of Lilly in her pretty dress.
(This dress came all the way from Florida! Thanks Aunt Kathy!)



What a difference a year makes!! Can you believe this is what the kids were like one year ago?!?


Swings at the Park

(These pictures were from earlier this spring...they somehow got lost.)

The kids enjoyed their first ride on the swings.

Fun with Family and Friends

More changes

The kids' babysitter is taking 5 weeks off this summer. The kids get to spend Mondays with Grandma Robbi and Fridays with Grandma Jan.

Tuesdays through Thursdays, they get to have fun at the Hayes' house with Lauren, Jason and Brecken. For their first week of change, they seem to be having a good time...

Cuties



Sippy Cup

Austin is learning to love his sippy cup.

Chairs

The kids love these little chairs they got for their birthday.


The chairs fit them perfectly. Lilly also loves the softness...she'll put anything soft up to her top lip for comfort. :o)
