Lilly's Fergie fix...




My silly little lillybug. First of all she is getting her first tooth, on the bottom. I have never seen anything so cute in my life. But boy have they both been cranky...Asher must be getting ready to have one pop thru also. Anyway, back to her Fergie fixation. It started when Brad and I realized we really liked one of her songs "Big Girls Don't Cry". So needless to say, when you start liking a song, you play the heck out of it which is what we did. Everytime we got in the car to go somewhere we would play it and sing it at the top of our lungs. Well Lilly must have taken a liking to it as well because we started noticing that when she gets really tired and we are in the car, she gets fussy and when the song would stop, she would start to cry?? So the first couple of times it happened, we would jokingly be like..."aaawwww Lilly you want Fergie back on?!" so we would re-play the song and....no crying! We are now totally sick of the song because of having to play it over and over again to keep Lilly from crying for the last hour and a half on our drive home from Indiana.

7 months...already?















































































Lilly and Asher....where do I begin. They are the most amazing babies and getting such little personalities! My goodness , Miss Lilly can have quite a temper sometimes, no longer my laid back little quiet baby. She can say dada now! over and over and over as a matter of fact! It's the sweetest thing, her little voice is so girly and cute and boy can she cry loud when she wants! She likes peas and green beans more then she likes any kind of fruit! She doesn't like juice very much either. When she is drinking her bottle she loves to pull it out and look at it for a minute and maybe talk to it for a second too, before she guides my hands to put it back in her mouth. They can both almost hold their own bottles, but act like they don't want to! She loves her daddy and her face lights up when he walks in the room. She grins from ear to ear when he looks at her. Asher is more of a mommy's boy, he loves to lay his head on my chest and snuggle, especially when he is tired or just waking up from a nap. I love it. He acts goofy alot and laughs at almost anything it seems and he is really ticklish. He loves food and his bottle, there hasn't really been much he has tried and hasn't liked, maybe peas. Unlike Lilly he loves any kind of fruit and juice we give him. He is rolling like crazy and reaching for everything. We were just in Indiana for another week and I think he pulled down a total of 3 plants at my moms because he got his hands on them so fast. He will hardly hold still for a diaper change now and in Indiana he just started rolling on his belly to sleep on his own. Lilly still hasn't rolled yet! but they can both sit up now, Lilly is a little bit better at it then Asher, but he is getting there. They both splash like crazy in the bathtub now which leaves mommy soaked...we took them swimming in Indiana and thought Asher would love it and Lilly wouldn't like it so much, but it was just the opposite. Lilly loved it and couldn't quit splashing, it was so cute! Asher wasn't sure about it at first, but then he started to like it and joined in on the splashing. Life is so good and we are so happy to have Lilly and Asher in our lives. Things are easier now then what they used to be when they were newborns, but I know that will change again soon when the crawling and walking begins! Here are a few pictures of the little darlings! One of them with their Nanna, of us swimming and a few with their 4 month old cousin Kaylee!
