Crawling Babies!!!

The babies started crawling! Chase is crawling on his hands and knees to get into all sorts of trouble. Ari has figured out how to pull herself on the floor doing an army crawl with her arms. We now have to start baby proofing the house!  Ari has also discovered the cats and tries to crawl after them, but they are still a little bit faster than she is :) Chase has discovered the toy bin and tv stand and also how to open the doors on the tv stand.

Getting into trouble!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

7 months!

What have we been up to...
*Both babies are starting to sit by themselves! They are still a little bit unsteady, so you have to stay close by, but they will both sit for a few minutes!

*Chase started blowing raspberries and Ari makes cute noises with her lips. Chase has also found his tongue and likes to stick it out to copy you.

*Both babies are very mobile. Between rolling and pivoting on their stomachs, they no longer stay in the same place where you left them. Chase has even started getting up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. I'm sure he will be crawling soon!

*Ari slept through the night from 8-7! It was only a preview of what is to come (hopefully) since she did it last weekend and has since been waking up again. Now if only Chase would do the same thing...

"Sharing" toys? They both love their Sophie Giraffe

Go Twins Go! Getting excited for baseball season!

Happy boy swinging away. This is how I found him one day, no socks and all the toys taken apart.

Silly girl hanging out with her daddy!

I know, a little late on posting these. But I figure I better get these on here before we take 6 month pictures next weekend :)

6 months old!

On Friday, the babies had their 6 month well check. Along with that, came 3 shots. They did not like that! And the sad thing is that they have to go back in 4 weeks to get their flu shot booster.

Here are their stats from their appointment.

 Arianna
Weight: 13 pounds, 11 ounces (8th%)
Height: 26 inches (56th%)
Head Circumference: 16.7 inches (46th%)

Chase
Weight: 16.0 pounds (19th%)
Height: 26.8 inches (60th%)
Head Circumference: 17.8 inches (84th%)

**The babies have been very busy this past month. They both started rolling both ways, from their bellies to back and their back to bellies. No longer can you leave the room and expect them to be in the same place where you left them! Along with rolling came stealing each others toys and poking/grabbing each other in the face! We have to make sure they are separated on the floor!

**Ari and Chase both have 2 teeth each! Ari started getting her first tooth on Christmas and her second tooth came shortly afterwards. Chase got his two teeth in January. Watch out! They like to grab your fingers and bite/chew on them!

**We are sleeping better at night! They are both consistently going to bed around 7:30/8:00 at night. They wake up at around 3:30-4:30 to eat and will go back to sleep for another 2-3 hours! Finally, we are getting longer stretches of sleep! Now we just have to work on napping longer during the day!

**Both babies have started eating rice cereal and this past weekend, we have started adding vegetables! Chase loves it and eats up everything that we offer him. Ari is not a huge fan of eating cereal and vegetables, she would prefer to just have milk.
