Mama suit

I asked Tate what what we should get Brett for Christmas. He told me we should get him a mama suit so daddy can look just like me. 

Colds

All of the kids have runny noses and coughs. We are trying to teach Audrey how to sleep unswaddled and it isn't going so well. She wakes up and has a party in her bed every couple of hours. I am tired!!

Dress

I put the girls in the same dress that my cousin and I both wore for our 6 month pictures. Audrey cried a lot today. Tate went with Brett after lunch and ended up at grandma's house. Sounds like they had a good time. When she brought him home he gave her his rock collection.

Fun

I am still having issues with getting my posts to load. 

Today Tate said the following:

Later we are going to have a test to see who has bigger poop. 

(Playing with Barbies and makes one dance while the others are watching in chairs). Ladies and Gentlemen (Barbie dances). Thank you. Thank you. 

He also said he didn't smile for his school  pictures. 

6 Months

The girls are 6 months old today!!  They are both in size 3 diapers and just started wearing some 9 month clothes. They both want to crawl but can't figure it out. Ellie does really well at getting up on her hands and knees and kind of hops forward. Audrey can get up in her hands and knees but has trouble getting her head up too. It usually turns into her butt in the air in a bear crawl with her head on the floor. She doesn't like to stay put and rolls all over the place. Ellie is pretty content for a while with just a toy. They both only like to be on the floor for so long before they want picked up and held. Ellie is getting pretty good at sitting but still falls over after a while but Audrey just isn't strong enough to sit up for long. They both really enjoy eating solids. They like baby oatmeal and haven't been super fond of vegetables. Ellie loves to feed herself and gets mad if she doesn't get real food while we eat. Ellie is eating 7 oz. of formula about every 4 hours. She still arches her back a lot so sometimes her eating is a mess. Audrey eats 6 oz. of formula every three hours. If she can't eat exactly every three hours, including at night, she thinks she is going to starve to death. She also wakes up with a lot of gas. Ellie has been sleeping most of the night but sometimes gets up for an early morning feed. They are not on a good schedule because of school so they are not consistent with naps. They are so much fun and have been rolling on top of each other and have been fighting over toys. 

Sit

Audrey went from crawling position to sitting position today!  She still can't sit up straight for long though. Ellie tried all morning to do it too but couldn't get her second leg to turn the right way. We all rode the combine but we couldn't get a picture of all of us together!

Crazy

I got a glimpse into the future today!  A crazy old lady at McDonald's asked to hold our babies. I know we probably made her day but it sure is scary handing over a child to a stranger. I figure this will be me is about 40 years. Some ladies were admiring Audrey while we were eating. They couldn't see Ellie down in her car seat so Brett popped her up. They were in shock to see a second baby.  What a fun experience. Ellie was laughing super hard at Brett and stuffed animals.
