Yep as per usual I am way behind on the girl's photos this month. First, the days were really rainy and dark the beginning of the month so I didn't have the best light on my bed. As it was when I finally got around to it, I pushed my camera and they are not my favorite because it was just cloudy, but that is ok. The other thing is we are FINALLY in a wonderful school routine and I just have not wanted to mess with it any day. It sounds silly, but I just did not want to disrupt our day. In fact today I did them and it disrupted our schedule and well needless to say I had distracted kids and ended up sending them outside. So we are at 7 and a half months really but that is ok!!!
Every day we look at these girls and just marvel. There really is nothing sweeter than walking in and seeing two babies laying asleep together or playing on the floor together. It is the most special thing. I reflect on it a lot and know God knew this is exactly what I needed. I was burned out and frustrated as a mom and I think he knew I needed an extra blessing to appreciate all my kids and to realize how incredibly lucky we are with twins.
DAPHNE
We will start with Daphne because she is kind of moving through the milestones like crazy. She is now crawling and into everything! Anything electronic is her favorite. She actually giggles and squeals if she can get to a video game controller, phone, or remote before you get it put up. She is also VERY determined. Anthony and I were so wrong about personalities. We thought for sure she would be the people person. Nope, she is so much like Eli and curious and a big wiggle worm. She could care less about anybody if she has her mind set on getting something. She now can crawl to me crying the entire time instead of laying on the floor waiting for me to get her. This video is the beginning of her really starting. She had been on all fours, but as soon as I started videoing she stopped. Either way you get the idea.
Her nickname that is pretty much stuck is Daphne-Doo. I started calling her that and now it just is what everybody calls her. She still adores Ari beyond belief. Her hair is as red as ever and she has the bluest eyes. She also is getting curls! She sort of will eat solids. We are gradually working on it. She as of tonight has 5 teeth poking through. She has two bottom teeth and 3 top teeth have come in this week and she is working on her sixth tooth which is a top tooth. She is not sleeping well consequently. She has discovered the dogs and loves them. She wiggles and giggles when they walk by her. She loves to pet them. She hates being in the car after 7:00 p.m. as it is dark and she cries. Needless to say I avoid trips in the evenings now. We pretty much adore her to pieces and seriously her hair is amazing!

Annalise
Annalise is not far behind in the crawling. She pushes herself backwards and gets so frustrated. She has watched Daphne crawl the past week and gets sooo mad. She sits and cries and whines and tries to go forward only to scoot backward. It is rather humorous. She is getting BLOND hair! Who would have guessed. It also is beginning to get curls. I am almost positive she ends up with brown eyes as they are already changing. This will be the first child of ours that has eyes that change so soon. She is eating solids sort of. She is lazy and wants me to feed her (we usually do baby led weaning and let them feed themselves finger foods). She loves purees so we keep going that way. She makes a face every time we give her food that she hates it but she keeps wanting more so I give it. Her nickname is still Missy-Moo. She now has 5 teeth also. She has 2 bottom teeth and 3 top teeth. She is sleeping a little better than Daphne.
Personality wise she fooled us too. We thought for sure she would be determined. Nope, she is a people person. She loves to interact. She loves to sit and play games. She is a huge mimick. She mimicks Anthony frequently. She LOVES me to tickle her especially "This little Piggy." She loves Pat-A-Cake and books. She is a lover and more willing to sit and listen than Daphne the spaz.
They both also survived their first evening away from us and did pretty good! Anthony and I finally had a date night thanks to family watching all the kids!
Needless to say they are getting huge and we are thoroughly enjoying them!!!!
