Happy Halloween!  I made these cute aprons out of old Starbucks aprons (think permament marker ruining pockets lol!) and found these outfits for Daddy to take pictures of the girls :)  Just one of their many Halloween/ October outfits!

Here are a few pictures that Chip has taken of the girls this month!

 Lily is (obviously) crawling and pulling herself up everywhere.  Today she took some steps from a chair to Boppy (Grandpa) while holding onto the side table... I think walking will be here any day!

 Lily knows crib time is bed time.  Even though it wasn't for the pictures.  Not happy!

 We wen to the Arboretum for the scarecrow exibit and to take some Halloween pictures. 

Mommy was discusted with the Little Mermaid scarecrow!

 Daddy with Angry Bird.  This is to show cousin Mikey!

The girls with the M&M to show Boppy!

 Of course we had to get pictures with T1 and T2!

 And of course my new Facebook picture my favorite of me and the girls :)

More Halloween pictures to come soon!

9 Month Check-Up...

Lily is 17lbs 15oz.  She is in 9 month clothes but branching out into 12 month for some of the new fall items :)  Her height was 28 1/2 inches.  She is in the 50th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for height!  She crawls, or baby sprints, faster then ever, pulls herself up in a a split second, and wants Mommy a LOT right now.  She has 4 teeth, and is starting to get hair back!  She babbles all of the time and is now sleeping from 7 pm till 7 am most nights, up for a bottle, and back to sleep until 9.  She is still very serious!

Grace is 14lbs 13oz.  She is in 6 month clothes, and wearing a few 9 month pieces that are too long in the sleeves for her!  Her height was 17 inches.  She is holding steady in the 5th percentile for weight and height.  She is now starting to pull herself up.  She stands up assisted but isn't interested in standing up herself like her sister is.  Her new trick is clapping which just started this week.  She is very interested in talking to her sister.  She is still sleeping great, and smiles all of the time! 

Here are a few new pictures!

A whole lot of bad photos lol!

 Here are a few shots from the photo shoot I did for Chip's Chicago Marathon!  The girls weren't really into smiling, but LOVED playing with the shoe laces :)

 These don't really fit :)

 Fighting over the top of Daddy's Nalgene bottle!

 Another failed photo shoot!  Daddy better get busy taking all the photos of us in our fall wear!  

Cute outfits/ hats from Gramma Kay!

 Trying a teething biscuit for the first time... not impressed!

 Time to get a pumpkin!

 Aunt Jen and Mikey on the train!

 Mikey driving the tractor!

 The girl's first hayride.  They loved it!

 Apple Cider Donuts!  No... Mommy didn't share :)

 Lily was obviously preoccupied by something else... all day... no smiles :(

 Playing with pumpkins trying to see which one was just her size

All tuckered out.  No nap for these babies made for a long day and a terrible bed time.  But it was a lot of fun and hopefully we can squeeze in one more pumpkin farm before the season is over!

Happy 9 Months to my Baby Girls!!!

 Lily saw Grace still had a few Cheerios left... she wanted to "help" her sister :)
