What We've Been Up To

Not much, actually.

I have made two photo books, which maybe I'll share.  We got Groupons for them...one is Braelyn's trip to Disneyland and the other is Birth-Baptism for Addison.  We're going to get more insulation put in our attic.  We go back to meetings in two weeks. :(  It's thunderstorming here, which is awesome.  Though if Braelyn wakes up from her nap because of it, I won't think it's so awesome.

But here's some more pictures!

My mom made the girls matching dresses.  Braelyn loves them.  In fact we wore them both last Sunday and this Sunday (today) so that must mean that she really loves them.  I'm going to post several pictures of these dresses to show how this "photo shoot" evolved.  First...nice picture, Braelyn's not really looking at the camera, so we do some more.

 Here, Braelyn is trying to push Addison's head away from the camera.  Not sure why.  She is looking nicely at the camera.

 We try some pictures with Addison not on Braelyn's lap, since Braelyn insists upon turning her head in what seems an uncomfortable direction.  Those photos are not memorable.  However, we tell her to get closer to Addison, using the unfortunate word "snuggle"...to Braelyn this means putting her head on Addison's head.  Here they are, "snuggling".

Then Nate gets Braelyn to laugh, which results in general silliness.  I have no idea what she is doing here, but Addison is apparently sleeping through it, or at the least, not impressed.

 Here's Addison!

 Braelyn LOVES ice cream sandwiches and has pretty much mastered the art of eating one without getting her hands messy.  It's impressive if I do say so myself.

 Addison getting some floor time, Braelyn is trying to entertain her. 

 More Addison!

 We glued cheerios to paper to do numbers up to five.  Braelyn's still not into numbers too much.  She can count to two. :-)  To do things (like jump or something) she counts "one, three, two"...ha!  We also did shapes.  They disappeared off the table by the next day because Hunter ate them.  Good thing I got a picture.  Also:  found out that our school glue is all dried up, so we used wood glue.

In looking at these pictures, it looks like Braelyn loves orange.  Maybe?  She has orange pajamas which she refused to take off one day (the day these pictures were taken), and the dress Mom made was orange.  Other than that we don't have much orange. 

Braelyn's started to really love to hold Addison and give her kisses.  It's a little scary because when Addison is in the swing and wakes up (I know, slap my hand, I let my baby sleep in the swing...blah safety rules about sleeping...we have a blanket in the crib too...oh the horror!), Braelyn runs to it and tries to get her out and picked up before I get there.  I don't think it would be possible for her to do that, but it freaks me out a little.
