These are a few of my favorite things

Everyone told me how you fall in love more and more with your children every day but I never really understood that until now. Everyday is something new, something surprising, something adorable that they do. Their smile gets a little bigger, their laugh gets a little louder, and their noises get a little sweeter. So here are a few of our favorite things that they do...

Luke...
- We love the way you watch Madison. She is too busy right now to notice you but you stare and smile at her. It is like you are already watching over her! So sweet!
- We love the way you smile. It makes our hearts melt when you smile with those big cheeks!
- We love the way you suck your thumb! You found it and love it! Just like your daddy when he was little.
- We love the way you have discovered your hands! You stare at a toy then reach for it. When you hit it you get so excited! It is like you are saying, "Hey, I did that!!!"


Madison...
- We love the way you put both hands over your eyes when you nurse. It is the sweetest and funniest thing!
- We love the way you love your hands!!! When you are falling asleep you hold them together at your chest like you are saying your prayers.
- We love the way smile and laugh! Your facial expressions are great! You look so serious when you wrinkle your eyebrows!
- We love the way your squeal with joy! We say you are making a joyful noise unto the Lord! We do have admit that sometime it hurts mommy and daddy's ears :)

Here are some pictures...

Tummy time

My precious Papa came by to give the babies a Radio Flyer red wagon!!! It is awesome!
Thank you Papa!

Good times

We watched our first Baby Einstein this week! They loved it!

Uncle Ryan gave us this awesome Clemson Tiger mobile that sings Tiger Rag. We are training them early! Go Tigers!

Sweet babies

Deputy Ayers (also known as my cousin Chad) came by to see the babies. They LOVED him! Luke thought Chad was hilarious and kept laughing at him!

Madison loved Chad too!
*All the single ladies-Chad is available and is great with kids!*

Madison is so strong! She loves for you to hold her up so she can stand! Since she is so stiff daddy likes to do tricks with her. As you can tell, she doesn't mind!

We have been using our jogging stroller a lot lately! They seem to enjoy it and we love to get out and walk too.

My sweet friend Amber and her little girl Anna Kate came by to visit. Sleepy girl :)

So...Luke had these really long hairs right on the top of his head that were driving his daddy crazy! He got his first "haircut" this week. Just a little off the top :)
