New Bath Alternative

So we ended up buying an inflatable pink duck bathtub for the girls. Safe and fun, but too small to fit both big girls at once. We'll just have to wait until they're more stable sitters to do the real bath tub together.

And some backbends for good measure...

Nice 'do!

Happy Girls

First "Real" Bath!

The girls are getting WAY too big for their infant bath tub, and Caroline is practically backbending out of it. So I decided to try putting them in the real bath tub for the first time tonight. They are sitting on their own pretty well, so I thought this would be fun. They had a good time splashing around with each other and playing with their toys, but it was pretty much a major balancing act the whole time for Rob and I as they would slip around and teeter over here and there. I don't think they're quite ready for this to be a regular thing.... on to another idea.

Sunday Funday

It was kind of a lazy weekend, just hanging out around the house with the girls. They are getting so much more mobile by the day, it's a bit scary. Rob and I are in desperate need to baby proof the house. I'm starting to feel like they get board with all the "regular" stuff we do and and I'm constantly searching for new ideas of how to entertain them! We have playtime with all their toys, and then after a few minutes they look up at me and seem to say, "ok mom, what's next?" Wanting to get them out of the house yesterday, we went on a nice long walk around the neighborhood and of course got lots of attention. Daddy wasn't quite as excited as I to show off our new hot pink stroller. :)

Sippy Cup Attempts

Ok, so I went a little video-happy today after work. But they're all fairly short, I promise.

First, the girls cracking up at a toy.

Some first attempts at the sippy Cup.

Caroline has the red one, Olivia the green.

Weekend in St. Louis

Lots of pictures and a couple videos from Grandma & Grandpa Smith's house:

Both girls are semi-crawling/scooting, but only in the Reverse direction! Here's Caroline demonstrating:

And Olivia learned a new trick this weekend - she can wave hello!
