Happy 6 Months, Girls!

Can you believe it? The girls are 6 months today. Did I blink? How did this happen? As sad as it is that they're already 6 months old, it's also so exciting. They just keep showing us the new things they can do on a daily basis. Adalyn's current fascination is her feet - touching them, sucking on them, pulling on her toes, etc. Alivia has not found her feet yet, but she is a rolling machine. It takes her less than 1/2 a second to roll on to her belly now. And when she does it, she gives the BIGGEST grin I have ever seen. Even if she does it 45 times in a day, it doesn't get old...and she smiles each and every single time. She's just so stinking proud of herself.

They're both working on sitting unassisted. And both really enjoy standing with assistance. In fact, when they're sitting in our laps, they often arch their backs in such a way that it pops them up onto their feet. Who wants to sit when you now know how to stand?

They have their 6 month appointment on Friday. Now that the girls have become fairly good at standing, we've stood them side by side. It honestly looks like Adalyn is a full inch taller than Alivia. And she is definitely heftier too. So it will be interesting to see how that plays out. We've wagered guesses that Adalyn is probably around 16 pounds and Alivia will be about 14 3/4 pounds. We'll see how close we are.

The girls really enjoyed Easter. They behaved so well in church and then allowed mommy, daddy, Grandma and Grandpa L, and great-grandma to have a fairly peaceful Easter lunch. They looked so gosh darn cute in their Easter dresses courtesy of Grandma J and Aunt Teresa. So of course I have to share!!!

In other "6 month news," we're getting the girls' 6 month pictures taken tomorrow. I'm so excited for that! I'm a tad nervous just because the girls have been teething, and there's no telling what kind of mood they'll be in. I'm just crossing my fingers!!
