Nine Month Onesies

Nine months! How did the time fly by so quickly! 

I had so many fun pictures this month, so this post is going to be really long!

Partners in Crime:

Vivian loves playing with Helen's hair!

Daddy's girls!

Eight Month Onesies

The girls are getting so active, it definitely made it hard to get a simple picture of them sitting still!

Vivian kept trying to get the camera!

They both wanted Nick to pick them up, but he was taking the pictures! They love their daddy!

Cuties!

Helen thought something was hilarious!

This is a standard for the girls-one of them resting their feet on the other! They are so silly!

THey did not want to sit this month, just stand up! Such big girls!

Seven Month Onesies

For some reason, the numbers did not want to stay on the onesies this month. Especially Helen's number, which you may be able to see in some of these pictures, is peeling off as she moves around. It didn't help that she and Vivian found it very interesting and kept pulling on it once it became loose! By the end of the picture session, it was only hanging on by a corner of the very top of the number!

I've decided that I'd like to get a picture of Nick with the girls every month too. I think it is great to see how big they are getting in his arms, plus they love being held by him! It definitely makes it easier to take pictures when the girls are happy and less squirmy! :)

I will add, it isn't very noticeable in these pictures, but the fabric I choose for their numbers this month is tulips. Since it is May, and Tulip Time is normally in May, I wanted to tie that in with the fabric for this month.

Vivian was very interested in Helen's bee toy!

Vivian in the act of tearing off Helen's number! Poor Helen felt so attacked!

Six Month Onesies

Here are the girls in their six month onesies. I can't believe how fast time is flying! My mom was in town for these pictures since I had just injured my shoulder the day or two before these were taken.

We set the girls in their pack-n-play at first while we made the bed. We usually set them on the twin bed that is in their room, but it wasn't quite ready yet. Viv kept holding onto Helen and Helen loved that my mom kept leaning over and talking to them!

So sweet! Holding hands again! They do it all the time, but it still melts my heart! You can really see in this picture how well Helen is catching up to Viv!

My mom and I took the girls for some errands that afternoon, and I just loved Helen's face in this picture!

Vivian kept lounging in her high chair-so cute!

Helen chewing on her straps, as always! :) You can see in this picture how tiny her little hips still are, she only takes up about half of the seat!

Two Month Onesies

Here are some pictures of the girls wearing their two month onesies. They had their two month check-ups earlier in the day, and received a couple of shots, which is why they have band-aids on their legs.

Helen wasn't exactly thrilled to be having her picture taken. They were both so worn out and ready for their baths and their bedtime routine. 

One Month Old!

Wow, does time fly!
Our baby girls are 1 month old! I can't believe how fast this first month has gone!

I love this picture! We gave the girls their baths right before we took these pictures, so naturally Vivian fell right asleep. I love that it looks like Helen has just been surprised by Vivian. Or, like she is saying, "Is she there someone right behind me?". 

We then turned on another light in the room, and Viv woke up immediately. She loves looking at lights right now! Most of the pics she still looked pretty sleepy, but this one was great, because they both have their eyes open. (Helen is holding her pacifier because she hadn't eaten yet and was getting a little antsy.)

Viv soon passed out again, and this time, it was on Helen's shoulder. She loves to snuggle while she is sleeping! So sweet!

My hope is to document their growth every month. At least, that is my goal. We will see how crazy life gets and if I'm able to continue with this. I'd love to be able to look back and see their growth throughout the year!
