Growing Right Along!

When the babies were in the NICU I was always amazed at how big their pictures made them look. It was really hard to tell in a photo just how tiny they really were. I wanted to take the classic preemie picture with Patrick's wedding ring on their arm but there were always so many wires in the way and in the beginning they were so fragile, I just didn't want to bother them.

When they were about a month old, Aunt JuJu got them these little finger puppets from Pottery Barn Kids...they were the perfect size for our little ones!

And just for fun, a little video of our lunch today. We recently took the trays off of the trios highchairs and we pull them straight up to the table. They LOVE the new setup...its like eating lunch/dinner with little grownups!

Aquarium

Today Aunt Pammie and I drove the little ones down to Galveston to go to the Moody Gardens Aquarium.

Dippin Dots
(A new favorite that the Great Aunt Sue got us hooked on!!!)

The lighting was funny so I got better videos than still pics. Here are some short favorites...

The Seals



Finding Nemo



The Penguins



The Aquarium!!!



Although I know the babies had a great time, I think they had more fun riding up and down the ramps and banging on the glass than anything! Huge seals and cute little penguins would come right up next to them and the babies seemed unfazed...like it was nothing out of the ordinary for them! Aunt Pammie suggested that next time we just take them to a doctor's office for a quick look at the fishies instead of driving nearly 4 hours roundtrip and paying for admission!!!

Fun at the Fountains!

Our white Pottery Barn Kids outfits looked so nice on the beach the other night that we dressed them all up again and headed out this evening for the sunset. Here are some of my favorites...

Happy Emmy!
