Firsts

As we are nearing the big TWO we are trying some new things...

cups with no lids,
play-dough,

singing,

and our new slide.




They slide faster with wet swimming suits.
 
Christian's also had his first hair cut!








His little curl is gone for now.

A Day at the Beach

Last Sunday we went to Galveston for our first trip to the beach!
Thank goodness for overcast skies. 
We had a great time with Aunt Nancy, Uncle Kendell and all of our Texas cousins!
I'm not sure what they liked more, the sand or the water.

Lions and Tigers and Bears

We took our first trip to the zoo for the Fourth of July.  They all did great despite the heat.  Too bad so many of the big animals were chillin' in the shade.












We even brought two more monkeys home with us!

A B C D

We are amazed at what the twins are doing at 21 months.  All of a sudden they are repeating everything and showing us how much they know all the time.  Julianna has become miss independent and is talking up a storm.  If she doesn't know the word for something she just grunts.  We were so surprised when they started naming letters.  We've been working on numbers and colors, not letters.  Christian is still pretty laid back and is talking a lot too, we just can't understand him at times. 
 He babbles away regardless!


Sorry for the horrible video quality.  It's hard to record when you aren't paying attention to the camera and sitting so close to your subjects.  Poor Christian didn't even get to show his face.


Just hanging out watching the exterminator take care of our wasp situation.  Julianna's favorite phrase right now is "Die bug!"  Thanks Grammy.


They are such good friends and happy playmates...most of the time.  Julianna cuddles up next to Christian any time they are both sitting together.  We wonder how long he will "allow" that.
