WRESTLE MANIA!


Emily - "I'm gonna get you!"


Claire - "Hey watch it sis!" ...


"Mom - are you going to do anything about this?"

FUN WITH OUR FRIENDS!

Claire and Emily hosted playgroup on Thursday. They had lots of fun with their friends and are learning all kinds of new tricks.

A free for all in the toys


Big girls Fallyn and Bella


Emily's future boyfriend Hayden. (She may have some competition with all the other girls in the group, as Hayden is the only boy).

NAKED TIME!





The girls enjoyed floating and splashing around in their bath tub today. Then it was some naked time which they loved!

The girls had their 4 month check-up and got a good report from Dr. Boyce. They are growing well and seem to be doing all the right tricks for their age. They had to get more shots though - ouch!

Poor Claire with her band-aid covered boo-boos.



Claire weighed in at 14 lbs. 1 oz. - 23 3/4 in.


Emily weighed in at 13 lbs. 3 oz. - 23 3/4 in.

At 4 months the girls continue to discover new things all the time - their favorite discovery - each other.

They also love to play with Daddy when he gets home.

FUN ON THE FOURTH!

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!




The girls enjoy their first Independence Day


The Maines family kicked off the celebration with a BBQ at their house over the weekend.


Bella shared all her fun toys with her friends




Addie, Fallyn and Bella had a BLAST hanging out


We joined our neighbors for a cookout on the 4th. Emily enjoyed hanging out with her Daddy while Claire played and snoozed in her carseat clubhouse.




Then it was on to a parade through Noblesville where we joined the Reussers. The girls had a great time watching the parade filled with random entries of cars and tractors, to Batman and a cartoon turtle.




Emily at the beginning of the parade - Worn out halfway through.

Claire made it through most of the parade - her favorite was the marching band

What are we going to find this morning?

The girls are becoming so much more active. They are both getting really close to rolling over (that one arm is tricky to get over). With each new attempt they have found that they can pretty much turn themselves in a full circle and scoot across the room. At night we think they do laps around their crib. We always find them in a different spot and throughout the night we sometimes hear that they have hit the buttons on their aquarium and are enjoying the bubbles and fish.
ARE YOU STILL AWAKE - Emily enjoys the light show
BUSTED - Claire has found her thumb

Tyson has also become quite the little helper. Here you can see she has just finished giving the girls a bottle and reading them a story. It is so nice to have an extra hand and entertainer.
Emily just watches her and giggles!

Daddy's little girls!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

We celebrated father's day at Auntie Leisha's house. She and Danny made a special dinner for Papaw complete with fried turkey. YUM!

Some cute pictures of Daddy's admirers ...

Emily - Life is good with Daddy!

Claire - Thanks for feeding me pop!
