Spaghetti and painting

Glade and Addison had their first spaghetti dinner last night. I will let the pictures tell the story!

Addison had it all over
Here is where most of her spaghetti went.
Glade wasn't as interested. He liked his juice and his fork.
Look at her eat She's licking the plate clean
She loves her spaghetti
Glade found the suction cup for his plate...which by the way does not work!Here's what Addison did with hersHere is where the painting began. We painted with water.



Glade was enjoying watching the boys next door play basketball.
Munching a little grass.






Just because these are cute. My kids both love pillows just like me!


Glade climbed into the toy box and pulled the dog in with him.
Sweet little Addison is a Daddy's girl

Wow! Has it been that long?

Sorry for not updating in so long. We have been busy. My mom and dad came last week to finish some work on Patty's house. They took Glade and Addison home with them on Wednesday. We went and spent the weekend with them at my parents house. I can't believe how much they can change in just a few days!
Glade is walking so much now. He still has trouble when he gets going too fast, but he does so good. I can tell he is so proud of himself when he is walking. He will stop and smile really big and clap. It's the cutest thing. I will work on getting some video on here. If I ever learn how to do it. Addison will take a few steps, but is not traveling long distances yet. She has been very clingy lately always wanting to be held and waking up at night for some hugs. I think we broke the waking up at night. We let her cry for one night and now she is doing so much better. Who would know it would only take one night:) Yea for us, we didn't spend many nights listening to her cry and cry for a long time.
They had a great time with Grammy and Pappy. They got to see hummingbirds and deer. They also went to Cabella's and saw the fish and other animals there. Their favorite thing was climbing the steps outside. Glade would stand at the door and cry to go outside. He does that now that he is at home. We need to fix the backyard so they can get out and play and not be trampled by the dogs!
I have joined a gym and have done water aerobics 3 times this week already! I love it and Glade and Addison seem to enjoy the kids club. The first time they went the girls in charge said they were so good and didn't cry at all. I put Addison in the stroller to leave and she started crying. I guess she wasn't ready to go.
I had lots of cute pictures from the trip to Grammy and Pappy's but they didn't work on my disk, so I will have to get my mom to send them to me.
I will try my best to get more posts on here! Things have been crazy and since the babies are moving around more it is even crazier!

Our first plane trip

We flew with the babies to Ohio last Friday and we came back on Monday. The babies did great on they plane. Everyone commented on how good they were. We spent Friday evening at Tim's cousin's house. They have an indoor pool and a brick oven for pizza. The pizza was so yummy! On Saturday Tim's cousin got married. The babies were so good for the ceremony. They sat there so quiet for the most of it. Addison made sure to get her voice heard. Glade perked up when the bagpipes came down the aisle. We went to the reception for dinner. Glade and Addison enjoyed the rolls and cake. Addison really liked the green beans and Glade likes the cantelope. It's one of his new favorites. It was a very long day for them by the end of the evening they were very tired. We took them into the entry area and let them crawl around. When the dancing started or course they had to dance with mommy and daddy. They both really like twirling in circles! Sunday we went to church and then back to the house for a nap. I tried to take one too, but Glade and Addison had other plans. Sunday night we went to dinner with the newlyweds and some other of Tim's cousins. We had a great time getting to visit with them. Glade was in rare form at the restaurant. He was screaming and throwing things. I think he had just had too much going on. We got the airport Monday and had some lunch. Addison threw up, and Glade threw his pants in the sink while getting his diaper changed. Of course the sinks had sensors, so his pants were soaked. We bought them cute Columbus outfits to change into. When we got off the plane, Addison was soaked through. Her diaper leaked. Of all times. So, I smelled of dirty diaper too! GROSS! We made it home and all layed down for a good nap. Then we all slept really good in our own beds! It was a great trip, but I'm not ready to do it again. We are slowly getting back to our routine. Glade and Addison are trying to catch up on sleep. Today they slept until 9:30 in the morning! I couldn't believe it. I got a shower and got dressed before they got up!

Here's what we can do now:
Glade
  • Take 4 steps at a time. Then he gets excited and falls down.

  • Stand up on his car.

  • Curl up his nose and blow air out of his mouth. It's the cutest thing.

  • DROOL!

  • When he is upset he lays on the floor with his head in the carpet.

  • Wave bye bye

Addison

  • Take 2 steps. She tried really hard, but is not as steady on her feet as Glade

  • Sing and dance to music. When she hears music she will start moving and singing her own little song.
  • Says AHH AHH AHH AHH, like she is clearing her throat or pretending to cough.

  • She loves to put things in her mouth. She will take the bottle caps and put them in her mouth so that they cover her nose and she looks like a pig.

  • Wave bye bye and says dye dye dye dye
  • She will hand you her food, then take it back
