Teeth and "uh-oh"

So. We have been stuck at two teeth since just after Easter. Alivia has her two bottom teeth. She cut the first one on her 6 month birthday (April 13), and then cut the second one several days later. Adalyn is still our toothless baby. And I don't think she's close to getting any. But who knows, she could surprise me and pop one through in the next week!

As far as the "uh-oh" goes...the babies are darn near on the move. Alivia is up on all four's just rocking up a storm! Every now and then, she scoot's both knees forward, but she just hasn't quite figured out how to coordinate the movement of her arms. Adalyn, on the other hand, is quite content rolling around. I honestly think she might skip crawling altogether and simply roll till she knows how to walk. She can roll from one end of our living room to the other in 15 seconds.

So what does this mean? Well, we've been making some major adjustments to the "look" of our house. We moved the coffee table into the basement for the time being. We are also considering moving one of the big chairs out of the living room just to open up the space a little bit more. The problem is with Adalyn right now. Although she is very proficient and very fast at rolling, she only knows how to roll in one direction. So she gets herself caught in corners and up against furniture. So until she learns how to roll the other way, we want as few obstacles as possible!

A few days ago, we put the girls in their sundresses and summer hats, lathered them up with sunscreen, and went outside to enjoy some of the sunshine. Adalyn loved every minute of it. Alivia ended up getting tired and cranky (both of them refused to take their morning naps!!).

She's so excited, can you tell?!

She's just happy she's wearing a big hat to shield the sun!
