9 months-High 5

Today the boys are officially 9 months old. Nothing like being 9 months on April Fool's day! :) The boys are officially crawling-oh boy. Not fast, but they can get around. Owen does the conventional crawl, Chase is army crawling. It's pretty funny and we are so excited and proud of them. Owen is a little unsure about himself so he takes his time lifting each leg out and then down-it's very cute. Chase just goes for it. In some ways they have switched personalities. If you remember, Owen was more "high maintenance". Owen is now more easy going, cuddly, soft and Chase is a maniac! :) He's so busy, yells, wants to be held. It's pretty funny. The videos on here are of Owen and Chase giving me a High 5. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It's pretty cute. They are kind of feeding themselves. It also takes awhile, but Chase is very persistent and once he figured out how to do it, he was off. Owen doesn't care as much about food as Owen, so he's a little slower-but is able. They are talking up a storm, love to stand, enjoy each other more and more by the day, love to reach for us to pick them up, love to be tickled and play "bumblebee". Have I mentioned lately how much I love being a mom to Chase and Owen. I really love them to pieces and love each moment of the day. They are wonderful, funny, sweet, loving little boys.
My sister was in town from Tuesday to Sunday for her bridal shower. She got to experience life with twins first hand and all that goes along with it. It was fun to have her here to help and the house felt a bit empty when she left. She helped me dress the boys in the tulle and give baths. My parents came that weekend and couldn't believe how much the boys had changed in 4 weeks. Playing around with tulle
what a pretty veil Owen
Cashed out in the car seat. How sweet
It's been a rough day for Chasey.
Lipstick? Nah-blueberries!



My sister, Kate, was in town last week for her bridal shower. My mom is on the far right, Kate is in red and Chase is wearing plaid.
