10 Months so far

So far this has been a really fun month. Savanah is crawling!!! We are so excited for her because now she can get where she wants to go, but as you can probably imagine life around here has gotten a bit crazy... so I had to buy a CAGE!! :) Actually it's a fence and it's really big, but it was the only way I could get any work done!! The girls like to pull cords out of the computer, bang on the CPU and hang on my legs... They aren't in it much but I have proof they don't mind it (my video)!! I had a new desk built (that I am in the process of painting) that will enclose all my computer and work stuff and the girls can have the rest of the room...but until it's ready it's THE CAGE :)

This video absolutely makes my day!! This is the first time the girls have really played together to the point of belly laughing just by entertaining themselves. Usually it's Pat or I getting them to laugh by tickling or singing. But I was just sitting here working and start hearing all this laughter behind me!!

Here are a few shots of them getting into and "in" everything and just being fun!!

The girls have been really good eaters all along and have been trying more and more table food over the last few months. But now that's all they want!! They want what we are having and puffs are no longer a substitute. So meal times have gotten more fun and definitely more messy. Here's some shots of Savanah enjoying pancakes and eggs. They figured out that sometimes there is food left in and under the highchairs... scavengers!!

So I think that I mentioned in the last post that daddy is their hero...can you tell?? We've started doing family worship together in the evenings and the girls love it. Pat plays guitar and we sing (not good, but a joyful noise nonetheless). I hope this will really become a special family time as the girls get older. The other picture is Payton "helping" daddy hang frames.

My brother John and sister in law Laura came last Sunday and it was so good to see them!! The girls had changed so much since they'd seen them last so they had to show them all their new tricks!! We love our Aunt Laura!!
