I am finally getting to post- sorry it has been a while. The girls have been battling their colds- ear infections and coughs for a few weeks and it has been tiring for all of us. I think they have turned the corner on their sickness, though- at least I hope so!

Here are some cute pics of the girls after their baths. ( I don't know why all that was underlined, but I couldn't fix it.
Anna














Elisabeth














Natalie














Our friends Missy and Mark came with their boys to see the girls for the first time. We had a great visit.














Aunt Laura and Uncle David also came from North Carolina to see the girls (and Alex!)














My dad and Elisabeth














Which reminded me of another picture I took of them only 3 months ago. You've come along way Elisabeth!














Elisabeth and Daddy cheering on Georgia! Go Dawgs!!



















A funny picture of Anna. They don't actually hold their bottles yet of course, but she was at the time.














We borrowed some bumbos so the girls are having fun practicing sitting up them. When I took this picture Elisabeth and Natalie were talking away to eachother. It was soooo cute!














Here they are in their bumbos! -I know they aren't supposed to be on a raised surface in them- this was only for the picture :)














Elisabeth also enjoys the exersaucer. She is the only one that can enjoy it so far. They are just starting to have really good head control.














Here is Natalie and the "happy apple" that was mine when I was little. Did any of you have that, too?














We are having a lot of fun together. Elisabeth may have started behind but she is now the first to roll over and does better at sitting up, etc.. They are all so fun as they talk and laugh- my favorite is when they do it with each other.
The colds set us back a little on the sleeping in the night- for a week someone was waking up every hour! They all still only go 5-7 hrs at a time. Anna was my great sleeper- sleeping 8-10 hours but now she won't anymore either I can't figure out why! I've increased her food and even tried rice cereal when the pediatrician recommended it. I feel like my 15 lb girls should be going longer, but we'll see- maybe soon! I try very hard to keep a schedule with them during the day, but it is very difficult! I've also starting separating them for their naps as they wake each other up constantly. We'll just keep figuring stuff out!!

Just posting a few pics- don't have much time to write. The girls are sick with colds :(
Here is Alex doctoring them up, and also the girls doing tummy time. They are getting better at holding their heads up!














Elisabeth














Natalie- she is actually good at it, but I couldn't catch it in the picture














Anna














My crazy son- he wants me to "sign him up" for a band!
