Almost One

How old are we??? ALMOST ONE!! We are learning to point...and gearing up to tell everyone how old we will be in a month!


Sadie isn't quite pointing here, but it was such a cute shot I couldn't leave it out!

Learning to Walk

We have a walking toy that Sadie loves using...she can walk all around the great room,


she can even hold it and walk one handed!

Playgroup in the Pool

Now that it is summer, we can have playgroup in the pool! Sadie and Madeline share a very funny secret, while Evyn is concentrates and Hollis enjoys munching on her toy!


Now the girls pay attention (while Hollis continues chomping away!)

Milk Thief

Though Sadie had just finished breakfast and had a full belly, she decided that she was still thirsty and wanted Wells' milk...so she came up with a plan!

First, she looked back to make sure that the no one was looking.

Anne Lawson saw her, but kept quiet.


















Then she decides Wells needs a bit of a distraction, so she tickles his toes, while looking back at the camera as to say "what, I am not doing anything".


Anne Lawson keeps a close eye on Sadie, yet is too busy drinking her milk to warn her brother.
















Finally, she goes in for the kill and gets the sippy cup!! Ahh, the power of flirtation!

A Table for Five

On Saturday night, we all had a fancy dinner of cheese toast, peas, ravoli and fruit! It was very fun to eat together as a big group! Too bad Bo and Bleu couldn't make the trip also, as they would have really helped clean up!

Do you think we were noticed?

It was hard to be inconspicuous on our Saturday morning walk.

Daddy in the Play Yard

We showed Anne Lawson and Holland how fun it was when daddy got in our outdoor play yard!

Fish, Fish Everywhere!

We all went to the Georgia Aquarium on Friday afternoon, our friend Lucy joined also. Though the big kids really, really enjoyed it, we thought it was very cool!






Hollis: I thought they said there were going to be fish in here, but it looks like just a big tank of bright blue water!







Sadie: Mommy, Daddy, look, there is a fish and it is HUGE, Hollis they were right, it is coming your way!























Hollis: Wait big fish, come back and see me! Though my mommy thinks you are ugly, I think you are very funny!! I am going to get my sister to help me pound on the glass until you come back!















COME BACK BIG FISH, COME BACK!!! COME BACK BIG FISH, COME BACK!!

Cruisin' Sadie

Sadie went from pulling up to stand to cruising around the coffee table in a couple of days. Thank goodness for the helmet as she has smacked her head a couple of times and not even noticed it!

10 Months Old!

Yep, another month, another picture! We are ten months old! Sadie is crawling all over the place, pulling up on everything and talking away! She now has 4 teeth. She is doing great in her helmet and after wearing it only 3 weeks, we can already tell a difference. Hollis is getting around, but it isn't really graceful. She is starting to realize that Sadie can access things much faster! Hollis is also talking away and says "baby" a lot...does it mean anything?? Who knows! Hollis still does not have any teeth!!

After 10 months, Hollis knows the drill! In addition to smiling for the camera, she blinks so the flash doesn't hurt her little eyes!

We are eating real food these days, turkey, ravioli, yogurt and grilled cheese are some of our favorites! Though Sadie is still bigger, Hollis seems to have the bigger appetite.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was really fun. We started out the morning hanging out on our porch with the play area our daddy set up outside, then we took mommy out to brunch! We went to the park in the afternoon and were good girls for mommy all day!!

We ate a lot of cookies (aka teething buscuits) at brunch and it keep us very happy!

Playing in the Yard

Sadie has fun playing with some neighborhood "big girls" in the yard, while Hollis enjoys watching from the sideline on her daddy's lap!

We had a sleepover!

Since we are such big girls, we decided it was time for a sleepover! We slept at Emily and Nikki's house with Aunt Caryn and Uncle Adam. We had so much fun!

Some of Emily and Nikki's friends came over to play with us...

...we got held a lot....

...we ate dinner and Uncle Adam thought it would be funny to feed Joey with our spoon (we thought it was kind of gross)...

...Nikki read to us after dinner...

...we even went on a walk!

We missed our mommy and daddy the next morning, but we knew we were in good hands!

Book Worms

We both really love books these days...in fact, we can read them to ourselves! They are sometimes upside down or backwards when we read them and no one else can understand what we are saying, but we sure think they are great!!


Sadie: What a great book - and the baby on the cover is almost as cute as me!!!

Hollis: My mom has taught me the beauty of multi-tasking...I can read and jump at the same time!

Hollis Can Crawl Too...Kind of

Hollis wants everyone to know that she is almost there!!
