A Day in the Life of A & W

Another fun day spent with mom! Today we were movers and shakers and scooted circles around each other while mom took way too many pictures of us! We are experts at getting ourselves into positions we can't get out of, which makes us a little frustrated at times. We always give mom a great big grin when she flips us or gives us a favorite toy. We love our crinkly book and tiny stuffed toys to chew on. We are both teething and drool all over everything! Our favorite time of day is the morning - we are so refreshed from a long nights sleep (yeah!, mom says) We love to talk to mom while she tries to give us our breakfast. A lot of times we just grin at her through our bottle....usually she smiles back and shakes her head. Sometimes we hear her mumble...."man, are you guys just like your dad or what?"

We really miss everyone and can't wait to see you!

love, Avery and Wyatt

My Adorable lil' Man

My adorable little man - Avery was still napping and from her temperament before her nap she needed the extra sleep. So.....Wyatt and Mommy got to spend some fun quality time together.

A couple weeks ago Grandma and Grandpa K visited us. Avery and Wyatt were spoiled as usual and so was daddy. Somehow he always seems to sneak in a nap when my parents come visit. I guess he knows there are extra hands to help so he relaxes - ALOT as you can see. I guess I'll allow it because on very rare occasions I sneak a nap during the day while he's at work. What he doesn't know won't hurt him!

More Carrots Please!

Avery always seems to be the one wearing more food than Wyatt. At this particular meal we were eating carrots. As you can tell from the pictures, it's obvious he is getting more in his mouth if you look at the size difference. I think that is why he is affectionately called our lil' chubbers right now! Avery is our lil' goofball as she loves to smile and spit while we TRY to feed her. Occasionally she decides that she wants to eat and gets down to business, but usually leaves that for Wyatt.

New House, New Tricks

Again, it has been forever since our last post! We have been busy moving into our new house and have been trying to make it a home. It's not quite there yet, but we are definitely feeling more comfortable and less like strangers in our new place.

We closed on our house on July 24th in a record breaking closing time of 3 1/2 hours - yes, I said three and a half hours!!!! It was all over a matter of $7.25 which did not match between the relocation company we were buying the property from and the title companies' paperwork. It was a stressful day, but in the end we were able to move in. Our garage started out as a huge pile of boxes, but now we are down to a few odds and ends that we need to find a home for.

Some of favorites about our new home....

* We have the same amount of things that we had in our old house, but somehow it doesn't feel
near as cluttered and full! We actually have space now!
* I have a sun room that is becoming our family studio space - now equipped with my drafting
table - I can't wait to get started on a project!
* My new stackable washer and dryer - We got quite a deal and I love the new set up!
* Morgan's fav is the attic stairs which give him easy access to store all of those Christmas
decorations that I have.
* He is also a huge fan of the new leather couch and loveseat we purchased. I have to say I
agree because they are SO comfortable and it's very easy to clean up the spit-up that so often '
graces it's cushions!

We can't leave Avery and Wyatt out - they are the 'New Tricks' part of this post. About a week and a half ago Wyatt was so excited about the new house that he started to roll over! After he started he just couldn't stop and would roll every time he was put on his back. In a matter of seconds he would be on his tummy. He has sinced slowed his rolling, but is ready to be able to sit up becuase he hates to lay flat now! He also has started eating cereal like a champ! He really chows down and stays pretty neat while doing it! I'm sure you are all waiting for an update on Avery's tricks...she is not yet rolling but is eating cereal. She is more concerned with her hands and feet and now lays on the floor with her feet up in the air for what seems like hours at a time. She is definitely good at grasping things and loves to play with my face, hair, necklaces, and glasses now. Both Wyatt and Avery are the happiest babies with an abundance of laughs, giggles, and even snorts to share. They are now 5 months old!
