The rest of 9 Months old

For many new moms, bath time is a favorite time used every day as wind down family time. Well this has previously not been the case in our house. With two babies to wash, both of which while loving the water, hate to get out... Bath time was anything but relaxing. So my poor girls got a bath when I had time or they absolutely needed one!! But this month, that changed. Since they can both sit up in the tub now bath time is so fun!! They splash and play together and love it!! While getting out still upsets them, running around naked is super fun and gets them happy again.

When we built the house we decided to not finish in the upstairs but instead turn what would be a second garage, into a "MAN ROOM" This makes me laugh because Pat has the highest expectations for a super manly room, but with 2 girls...we'll see :) In the meantime it is a big, completely empty room, that echoes very loudly. Well when the girls were younger Pat would take them to Echo room to yell and they loved it. So now when you start heading down the hallway toward echo room the girls start yelling. It is so funny!! So that's what started this day, but it soon became screaming, running, chicken fighting and it was hilarious!!

Our sweet friends came over for the day and we had so much fun. Rick and Coleens girls ran and played outside, Rick helped Pat work on the deck and Coleen and I juggled babies!! The girls had so much fun playing with Levi!!

If you have multiples, you completely understand how hard it is to take them anywhere!! My mom and I took the girls with us to Costco the other day, and we got stopped at least 40 times (NO exaggeration!!) You can imagine it's hard enough shopping with them if I wasn't getting stopped!! But I try to be sweet, smile, tell them... It's 2 girls, no they aren't identical, they are 9 months old etc. etc. Pat is another example entirely~ He doesn't make eye contact with anyone and most people don't stop him :) To bad for him now the girls wave and smile anyways and he still has to stop!!

Well it's bad enough with our 2 so you can only imagine what it was like when we took our 2 and Pat's cousins twin girls to dinner. Thankfully they sat us at the back of the restaurant!! Here's all the girls together.

So Payton started standing up in her crib this month. It's crazy coming in no longer to a sweet, swaddled baby but a bouncing, smiling baby girl!! Here's Savanah before her sister woke her up (nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby)!!

Who needs toys when you have lids, boxes, doors and socks

So I want to leave you with one of my favorite things...
