Happy 2008!!!!

8 Months Old

The girls are now eight months. Everyday they surprise us with some new trick. Eva can now STAND holding on to something, and Sofia has a new Cheesy smile!!!

Everyone's Getting Bigger

On Thursday the girls and I got together with their Tia Lindsay, Caroline, Clayton, Michelle, and Cayden. The last time we all saw each other, the girls were only about one month old, and Clayton hadn't even been born yet. Now the girls are 8 months, Clayton is 4 1/2 months, Caroline is 22 months, and Cayden is 17 months. You can see from the two picture how fast they all have grown!!!

The Ladies and their Men

We spent Chirstmas day over at our house with Rick's dad, brothers and nephews. I feel sorry for the future suitors Eva and Sofia are going to have. They are going to have to deal with all the male cousins and uncles the girls have. Here are the girls with all their body guards.

Radio Flyer

I think the gift, this Christmas, we all most enjoyed ,was the Radio Flyer the girls got from their Nona and Nono.

Christmas Morning!!

Not only did the girls get great gifts at their Nono and Nona's house, they were also lucky enough to get gifts on Christmas morning!

Opening presents!!!

Eva and Sofia had a great first Christmas!! They got such fun gifts.

Merry Christmas!!!

Eva and Sofia's first Christmas!

Making their Mama Proud!

Being daughters of a dental hygienist, they are expected to have beautiful, clean, cavity-free teeth. As you can see, they are off to a good start!!

Look What Eva can do now

This afternoon when I went in to wake the girls up from their nap, I was greeted by Eva. She was standing up on her knees holding on to the crib.

Visiting Santa Claus

We took the girls today to go see Santa Claus at the Macy's on State St. They did great! They weren't scared nor did they cry.

Eva's Crawling

Eva started crawling last week. Uh-Oh we are in for some trouble!!

The Photographers

Here are our Christmas card photographers/babysitters, Tia Vanessa and Tio Carlos.

Xmas Card Picture Outtakes

We had our annual photo session to get our xmas card picture taken. This year both Vanessa and Carlos helped us out. This year it was A LOT more interesting, we had to get two babies, two dogs, and two adults to all look at the camera, and look somewhat normal. Here are the pictures that obviously didn't make it. You'll have to wait until you get our card to see the one that did make it.

Santa hats

I knew it was going to be difficult to get a baby to sit still, look at the camera, smile, and keep the santa hat on, but TWO babies was down right impossible! You can see for yourselves.

Lunch with the Godparents and Godbrother

On Saturday Lindsay and Kevin invited us over for lunch. We hadn't seen Clayton since he was born. He is now 4 months!!! Wow, he is so big and handsome!! We had a great time being there, plus the food was YUMMY!!!!

7 Months

The Girls are changing everyday. Sofia can now sit on her own. She has three and half teeth, two on the bottom and one and a half on top. And she has started babbling, "nanananana". Eva is constantly on the move. She scooches her way around to where she wants to go. She has two teeth, both on the bottom. And she is also babbling, "blah blah blah blah"

But the best thing yet is seeing them interact. They are now fully aware of each other. They "talk" to each other from across their cribs. They make each other laugh by making funny faces or noises. They hold hands while they eat, and get a worried look on their face when the other one cries. And they immediately smile when they see each other after they wake up. They don't know it yet, but they are so lucky to have each other. The bond that they have is unique and will only get stronger as they grow.

Las nenas hay tienen 7 meses. Cada dia crecen y cambian mas. Sofia ya se sienta solita. Tiene tres dientes y medio, dos abajo y uno y medio arriba. Tambien ha empezado a hablar "nananananana". Eva esta constantemente moviendose. No gatea, pero encuentra la manera de llegar a donde quiere ir. Y tambien ha empezado a hablar "blah blah blah".

Pero, lo mejor hasta ahora, es viendolas juntitas. Se hablan cuando estan en sus cunas. Se hacen reir haciendo sonido y caras grasiosas. Ponen una cara de preocupacion cuando la otra llora. Y se sonrien imediatamente cuando se ven despues que se despiertan. La coneccion que tienen es unica y bien especial. Ya se daran cuentan la suerte que tienen de ser mellizas.
