Big Cups

Today we tried grape juice in a big cup, it was very exciting to see them pick up the cup and try drinking from it. It didn't take long for Chance to figure out how to use the cup, he was very determined to fill his belly. Kinley took a few sips but enjoyed chewing on the straw more. It is amazing to watch them do things on their own!

The boys playing around...

Teeth are Sprouting!

It has been a long week! Kinley did really well when her first tooth came in and now that her second tooth has cut through the gum it has been the typical scenario everyone warned me about. Poor babygirl has a runny nose, ear aches, waking up constantly throughout the night and is chewing on everything. Chance's bottom tooth is just cutting the gum so the next couple of days I'm expecting more sleepless nights. Thank goodness there is a starbucks in walking distance from us!

Photo Shoot at the Beach

We spent the day with Aunt Heather at a beach in Pensacola,the weather wasn't warm enough to put our suits on so we just played and took pictures.

Having a taste of Kinley's food


A few girlfriends from grade school and high school stopped by while we were visting. It was great to see everyone and catch up. Hopefully we can come back soon and play!

Hanging by the Pool

Not a fan

Showing off her bathsuit

Babysteps... for now he likes to sit in the floaty on land.

We tried out the pool for the first time, it wasn't as easy as I had planned. I knew it would be a challenge introducing the pool to them at the same time with me by myself, so I strategically planned Kinley's pool time with Chance's nap time, and vice-versa.Kinley refuses to take an afternoon nap so she got more pool time. The first couple times I didn't realize how long it took to prepare for the pool, change diaper, put swimmers on, sun screen everywhere! change swimmers again... (she waits for me to change her and then poops), bathingsuit,hat, towel and by the time we get all the way in Chance wakes up. After 3 days of trying I decided dipping our toes in is a good start for now. We spent the rest of the sunny days sitting on the porch watching the cat who can barely catch it's own tail try to catch lizards. The 3 of us found it very amuzing... probably more me than them.

Kinley's First Words?

The other day coming back from the store I thought I heard Kinley say Mama... I wasn't sure if I made myself hear it or if she really did say it. We went straight over to my mom's work and a few other women said she had said it again. Everytime I take out the video camera she gets super excited, starts kicking and can only focus on trying to get the camera.. so the talking stops.
