Visiting Caroline and Clayton

About two weeks ago, Tia Lindsay invited us over for lunch. It was great seeing all the kids together. And as they all get older they are able to interact with each other more. Here are a few pictures of the girls with Caroline and Clayton, and the girls with Caroline. Eva and Sofia were fascinated by Caroline, her pretty hair, her barette, her pretty face.

1st Easter

This was the girls first Easter. Though they really didn't get the significance of the day, they still had a good time. We started off at church with my family and then over to my parents' house for lunch. Then had dinner at Rick's older brother's place, where the girls had their first Easter egg hunt.

Springtime???

It has been a while since my last entry, so I will catch up today.

It was hard to believe that on Good Friday we had a snow storm. It was the third day of spring wasn't it??!! We shouldn't be surprised though, we do live in Chicago.

Enjoying the Park

We went to the park again on Friday with my mom. This time Sofia liked the swing. And both enjoyed the slide. Even Lincoln and Oliver got to enjoy themselves relaxing in the sun.

Spring is in the Air!!

Finally, we are having some good weather. The girls and I have been taking advantage of these warmer days. Today I decided to go to the park for the first time. As you can see from the pictures, Eva LOVED the swing, but Sofia not so much. Sofia had more fun watching Eva swing back and forth while in my arms. This is going to be a fun Spring and Summer!!!

Tub in a Tub

Well, after the first time we bath the girls in the big tub, Eva decided that she didn't like anymore. The second time she started crying five minutes after she got in, which set off Sofia crying. The third time she wouldn't even put a toe in the water with out sreaming and climbing up me. So that time I bathed her in the little tub, which she loved. So for the next time I tried putting the baby tub into the big tub to see if that would work. Well, it did. So for now, Eva bathes in the little tub on one side of the big tub and Sofia sit in the big tubon the other side.

Bathtime for Big Girls

Last night Eva and Sofia took their first bath together in the real tub.

Sofia is Crawling!!!

On Sunday night, we were all hanging out in the girls room. All of a sudden, Sofia decided she wanted something on the other side of the room, so she got on her hands and knees and started crawling!! Rick and I were very excited to see her finally do it.

Our First Visit to the Zoo

On Sunday, we took advantage of the "beautiful" weather, and took a family trip to Lincoln Park Zoo. It was the first time the girls had been there. They loved it. We only got to see the south end of the zoo, mostly the monkeys, and the farm animals. It also was the first time we had lunch outside of our house. They were such big girls, sitting in the high chairs, and eating lunch. We also had a family photo shoot in one of those booths. We all had so much fun!!!

Our Goddaughter Caroline turns TWO!!

It is hard to believe that Caroline is now two years old.

The Latest News

It has been a while since I last updated the blog, so here are the going ons. Sofia is finally standing up on her own. She doesn't crawl, but she gets around anyways. Eva has gained speed with her crawling, and she has learned how to go up the stairs. Both of them are much more vocal, and love using their upper range by having screaming matches with each other. In one of the videos you can see Sofia cracking up (sorry the beginning of the video is sideways) and in the other Eva is doing her scary sound. To translate for you, I am asking her to scare you. Enjoy.

Nine Months!!

On Monday, the girls will be nine months old! They are becoming such buddies. Eva, who is a little comedian, makes Sofia laugh all the time, which in turn makes Eva laugh. Eva is now getting up on EVERYTHING!! Sofia has started trying to pull herself up to a kneel, and she rocks back and forth on all fours. So crawling is in our future!!! Can you imagine TWO mobile babies?!?! AAAHHHH!!!

El lunes, las nenas cumpliran nueve meses! Son bien companeras. Eva, quien es mas graciosa, siempre la hace reir a Sofia, y eso la hace reir a Eva. Eva se anda parando en TODO!! Sofia esta tratando de ponerse de rodillas, y tambien esta a punto de gatiar. Se imaginan DOS bebes gatiando en diferentes direcciones?!?! AAAHHHH!!!

Special Delivery!!!

Happy 27th Birthday Tia Vanessa!!

Vanessa turned 27 on the 11th. Here she is with "the Ladies" as she calls them.

Adventures in Eating

The Girls have started eating finger foods. It is fun introducing them to new stuff. I have also started letting them feed themsleves with their spoons. Half of the food gets in their mouth, the other half either on their face, hands, the chair, the floor, or me. And then there are the sippy cups, they finally figured out how to drink the juice.
