Izzie and Santa

Our cute Izzie was so excited to go see Santa Claus this year! She has been loving all the Christmas shows and trees and lights and decorations that come around this time of year, but Santa is definitely one of her favorites. We have a little stuffed Santa and reindeer that she says goodnight to every night on her way to bed—super cute!

She was so funny when she saw Santa—and she definitely was a little intimidated as you can tell by her face in the pic! Her eyes got so big and she just stared at Santa for a bit. Then she slowly backed up to him so she could sit on his lap. She sat like this for awhile and we eventually got a whisper out of her telling Santa what she wanted for Christmas. She then got a candy cane and squealed and laughed all the way out to the car. Now she talks about when Santa will be coming to our house. I love this little cutie so much and am probably just as excited as she is for Santa to come this year! :)

What a couple of sweeties! Can you tell by the pics that one of them is a little more serious than the other? Both are little goofballs, but both are SUPER sweet and getting soooo big! We started them on baby food and they have so far enjoyed squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, pears, and bananas. They do not like green beans!

This is typical tummy time—Emmy looking around and Tate laying there like a log. :)

Both kiddos are super droolers and typically have to wear bibs most of 

the day. But look how cute that sweet face is!

Sweet sweet girl.

Just for Fun!

Here are just some random pics we've taken over the last few weeks. We just can't get enough of these kiddos!

I'd like to say they were all looking at me or Todd, but really they were all watching TV!

I think these two look so alike!

Me and my little man! (He's getting to be sooooo big!)

2 MONTHS

So I have been terrible about posting pictures of our two new little cuties, but man, they sure keep us busy! We went to their doctor last week for the 2-month check-up appointment and shots (booo!), and all was well. Here are the kiddos stats:

TATE
11 pounds, 5 ounces, 34th percentile
22.75 inches, 36th percentile
Head, 37th percentile

EMMY
10 pounds, 23rd percentile
21.5 inches, 14th percentile
Head, 37th percentile

To go along with this update, I obviously have pictures! These start with the darling 2-week photos my fantastic brother-in-law, Curtis, and his equally fantastic wife, Amanda, did for us. Then just random photos up to 2 months from there. Sorry there's so many, but I needed to get all caught up! :)

Blessing Day

I'm so behind on posting, but I hope you all understand that my hands are a little full at the moment with these little cuties (who happen to be 2 months old today!). These are just the pictures from their blessing earlier this month. Both of our families came to support us and we had a yummy breakfast afterward.

I love these pictures! And I especially love Izzie's grumpy face in this last one. :)
