Pumpkin Patch

Today we headed to Bomke Pumpkin Patch in Springfield! We joined my Mom, Reagan, Adan & Livia and also saw some twin friends and another set of friends. While we were there, we had four sets of twins within the small area. It was cute!
 
 Jayden loved the tractor and the slide!
 Adalyn & Amelia looked cute as always!






We fed some goats! 

Livia and Reagan found the perfect pumpkins, but Adan didn't have any luck.


Addison's 1st Birthday

Happy 1st Birthday, Addison!!
 













 
You had a perfect party, on the perfect day, with the perfect cake and decorations.
We hope all your birthday wishes come true!!
 
I can't believe the first girl in the crew is already ONE!!
Only 3 more months until the twins will be celebrating their big day.
 
Oh, time flies, doesn't it?



Homecoming Parade

Last week we headed to Taylorville to attend the Homecoming parade. Jayden and the girls had a lot of fun!

Dr. Visit

The girls had a quick check this week to make sure they didn't have an ear infection. Thank goodness they didn't, just some very sore throats!

Weight check:
Adalyn: 14.969 with clothes and a wet diaper.

Amelia: 13.938 with clothes and a wet diaper.

Skinny little girls!!

Fun with Daddy

How do you stop two crawlers for 5 mins? Put them in a box and push them around!





So the brand of box isn't really appropriate for babies but we did bring home it home full 2 liters of soda!

Race Car?

In part of a bribe, Jayden got to ride in a race car after his haircut.


We grabbed some milk and of course Jayden grabbed a few snacks of his own.



This was Amelia's first time riding in the big part of the shopping cart.


Pretty sure we won't be heading back there alone!

Baby Ducks

Adalyn and Amelia follow Jayden around like they are little baby ducks.


Where ever he goes they go!








I think he likes the attention but sometimes he gets a little annoyed!

Pumpkin Patch--First one of the year!

We hit up our first pumpkin patch of the year! The kids did pretty good at sitting pretty while I took their picture. Jayden loaded up the wagon for us full of pretty pumpkins. He also threw in a few little ones to add to our collection.
 


Happy Fall!

Preschool Week 2

This week at preschool they are studying the letter 'S'.



Jayden wore a stripped Polo shirt (for the letter S) and had his new back pack thanks to his Poppy and Gma who completed his "back to school" shopping this year.


He made a scarecrow today too. Eyes on straight this project!



But after a long day at school (2.5 hrs) and a busy afternoon of playing this guy crashed on the couch for a nap.


Wonder what 'S' project he will complete on Thursday?!?

Oh and he had ice cream with sprinkles today. I'm guessing it was great!

Jayden is a Preschooler!!

We officially have a preschooler living in our house! We picked out his clothes and took a few pics since I would miss the first day.


Grandma took him on his first day to help ease the transition.



Preschool is cool!!






His first preschool project!



His "owl" he made at school!

I think he has one of the happiest teachers and hopefully going to school will get easier each week!

Mollie's Birthday

Mollie celebrated her 17th Birthday on Saturday! We joined her for dinner at Texas Road House. Adalyn and Amelia enjoyed their *first* bite of table food. A yummy roll!







Jayden ate like a champ too! He loves rolls, butter, and cheese now.



After, we stopped at Sam's club. Both girls fit in one cart! It was great!!


Happy Birthday, Mollie!!!

8 Months OLD!!!!!!!!

Our sweet baby girls are 8 months old!! I cannot believe that 8 months has passed so quickly!

1. Miss Adalyn is growing like a weed and weighing between 15-16 pounds. Little Amelia is weighing 13.2 lbs. She had a weight check last week because she is sooo skinny!!
2. The girls are wearing size 6 month clothes, but can easily fit into a lot of their 3 month outfits. I am starting to get rid of all of their 3 month clothes, but some 3-6 month outfits are still too big. They are tiny for sure!
3. Everyone always asks how old the babies are when we are out and about. The latest was that someone guessed them to be three months old. When I told her they were going to be 8 months old in a few days, she felt a little bad.
4.The twins are doing "OK" with sleeping. Four out of seven nights Adalyn will sleep through the night. Amelia will sleep 1 out of 7 nights. I wake up and feed her because I want her to grow. I also think they are starting to get some teeth so this is waking them up.
5. Bottles are still between 4-6 oz. On a rare occasion Amelia will drink 6 oz., she is more of a 3-4 oz. girl. Adalyn is a 5 to 6 oz girl! They are eating oatmeal and a fruit for breakfast, a bottle for lunch, fruit and veggie for dinner and oatmeal for dinner.
6. Bedtime routine is still pretty good---just getting them to sleep through the night is a new goal.
7. Both girls seem to be getting ready for teeth, but no teeth yet! Jayden got his first tooth at 9 months, so I expect they will be in the same time frame.
8. What they are starting to do is crawl! They can get where they want to go by scooting! They get up on their hands and knees and lunge. They can also sit for a short period of time before falling over. They are getting closer!
9. We are working on sippy cups too! This isn't going so well. We will keep on trying. Maybe we need to try some puffs soon too!
10. Happy 8 month birthday, sweet girl and sweet pea! You looked so pretty at the wedding yesterday and every day! Looking forward to watching you grow this next month!
