February in pictures/videos

Here is a long awaited blog post mostly in just pictures and videos. It is just an overload of pictures and videos. Mostly because we don't have very much to report. The girls are growing and growing, but they aren't mobile yet. They don't crawl and they don't rollover. We are still working on liking rolling over but they haven't taken to it. They can rollover occasionally but they don't do it very often. Ben is convinced they don't like being on their bellies so why rollover. I talked to a lady in our ward who has twins that are now 18 months and she was saying to be glad they aren't crawling yet. I have to keep reminding myself that they are really only 7 months even though they were born 9 months ago. It is hard not to compare your children to other children, but I tend to do it anyways :).

The girls are getting a bit chunky since they aren't mobile but I sure do love their little chub.

Tummy time for Eve

Savannah playing with the push walker

Speaking of walkers the girls are loving our normal walker (not the one shown above,but they do like that one too). They will walk themselves around our tile area and our kitchen and just explore. Eve likes to go to the front door and look out the window. She has also gotten into my fake flowers, so I had to move them because she thinks it is fun to play with them. Sav likes to explore all areas and today she even managed to move the walker onto the carpet in our front room. From there she was pretty much stuck but she still loved it. She was just a jabbering away.

Sav all smiles.

They are both really happy babies if you haven't noticed. I love getting them to laugh and smile at me. You know you are funny when two babies laugh at you. :)

Sav gnawing on the cup in the exersaucer.

Eve is sick of the pictures but Sav is giving me a great smile.

If you look closely at Savannah you can see a glimmer of a bottom tooth in the above picture. This past month both girls have cut teeth. Eve has two bottom teeth that are barely poking up and Sav has just one bottom tooth. Sav's other bottom tooth is close to breaking through but not quite there. I love their gummy smiles where you can see their teeth popping up. I have been trying to get a really good one but I have yet to succeed.

If you haven't noticed they aren't the cleanest eaters when they are hungry, but BOY do these two girls LOVE to eat. I have yet to find baby food they don't like which is really nice. It is quite the challenge feeding them both at once. I have tried to feed them separately but they whine if they realize you are feeding someone and they weren't invited to the party. When they are both in their seats, they also whine when they see a spoon full of delicious food going toward someone else's mouth. My left hand is just not coordinated to have two spoons going at once. I am trying to teach them patience, but so far they haven't caught on to the concept.

Eve and Sav in the tub

These girls love playing in the tub. They love to splash and reach for the toys. They especially love playing with each other. They laugh at each other quite often. I love when one starts laughing and then I hear two cute babies laughing. I have yet to catch it on camera. Usually they stop as soon as I start filming. I'll have to work on that one too!

Since the last time I had so many videos of Sav's cute tricks I thought I would post some of Eve.

Eve laughing as I try to make her dance

Ben making Eve laugh

Both Eve and Savannah love to dance. They especially like the song I was singing to dance to. I'm sure it is just the movement back and forth but not all songs will make them laugh like this. I think Eve's laugh is super cute!

Eve loves to clap! I swear she just claps all day long. I have been trying to teach Savannah but she has yet to master clapping quite like Eve, even though I do think Savannah is improving with her clapping. Since Eve likes to clap so much whenever she has toys in her hands she ends up knocking them together. She especially likes to do this with the ducks in the bathtub.

Such cute babies but I am kind of biased.
