A Working Weekend

This will be a short post since mom worked all weekend and is still working! She did manage to snap a few pictures and get the girls back in bows! We also have some video to post but that will have to wait for another day. After about a month of build up, Amanda seems to have finally mastered crawling....at least a few steps anyway. She can make it about 2 or 3 steps forward and then she lunges forward onto her chest. She manages to get far enough in most instances to grab the toy that she was after so it's all good! Natalie is close behind, but seems to prefer practicing her crawling skills on soft and cushy surfaces like mom and dad's bed!

Here are the girls looking cute in polka dots:





And in bows:

Weekend Fun

We had a nice family weekend after having some great adult time with Brian and Kristin on Friday night! :) Here are the girls on Saturday....WAY too early in the morning hanging out for a few minutes in Miss Amanda's crib.



The weather is SO nice right now and so we went for a walk both Saturday and Sunday. Here are the happy girls after one of our walks.



And today, we did a little shopping and the girls were lucky enough to score some new accessories. They both have a lot more hair these days but it's still not long enough to hold a barette. I'm growing impatient so we're settling for some cute headbands for now! Here is Amanda loving her new look!

And Natalie:

And the two fashionistas together:

A Sable Post

Sable went to the vet recently and while she was there one of the vet tech's came up to her in the waiting room to talk to her. While chatting, she told Sable that if she was a person, she would be a model because she is so tall, thin and beautiful! I think she's right! Here is Sable the model.....

Stay At Home Picnic

We had a picnic in our backyard today. I really wanted to get out of the house and doing a stay at home picnic was much easier than going somewhere. And the weather is perfect right now.

Natalie and Amanda were happy to be outside. And they were completely focused on Sable the entire time we were out there. Here are the three of them:








Here are the girls watching Sable's every move....

And finally, Natalie in her classic pose. She lays and sleeps like this all the time...hilarious!

On The Verge

Natalie and Amanda are both on the verge of crawling. It's fun to watch them try to figure it out. We're still have not really done the necessary baby proofing so it won't bother me at all if it takes a little while longer!

Here is Amanda. We often find her now up on all fours rocking back and forth. She has great fun doing that!







And here is Natalie. She just recently started trying but she seems to have skipped the "shuffle" phase that Amanda went through she'll be there quickly too!

Flying Solo

It's an all girls weekend at our house! Daddy is celebrating Donn's big 4-0 in Seattle this weekend (Happy Birthday Donn!!) so mommy is solo with the "G" team: Natalie, Amanda and Sable. So far, so good. This morning we went for a walk -- it's amazing to me how much cooler it is all of a sudden at night and in the morning. And we had fun playing. We definitely have a big HAM in the house and her name is Amanda. When I get the camera out now, this is what I get....it cracks me up!








Here is the less dramatic Natalie posing for the camera too:

Wish me luck that the rest of the weekend goes as smoothly as this morning! :)

Girl Talk

As I mention in a post below, the girls are very chatty and smiley with each other these days. Here is a small taste of some of their girl talk....
