Happy Father's Day & 7 Months Old

1 year ago today we were just getting used to the idea of having not 1 but 2 little humans joining us in this world. Here we are now and we don't have the faintest idea of what life used to be. All I can say is it must have been pretty tame.

Both Eva & Reid are getting very close to sitting for extended periods of time on their own. They are neck and neck with who will crawl first. They are working very hard practicing every day. Vocally, Eva has taken the lead. Don't ask her a question unless you want a 10 minute response.

We had a very busy weekend! Friday night we went to dinner with Ross' family in town (Aunt Shirley, Stephanie, and Lucas). Saturday we lounged at our friends Scott & Heather's pool and grilled some brats. Then Sunday was relaxation at Meema and Papa's house watching the race and eating some chicken and ribs. So the whole weekend was basically about relaxing and eating :)

As you can see, Scott & Heather's pool was a hit



They partied so hard, they passed out



With Daddy & posing for our 7 month picture on Father's Day. Still working on our techniques for getting 2 babies to smile at one time long enough to take a picture.

Girls will be Girls & Boys will drink beer

In celebration of a belated 6 month birthday, Eva had her ears pierced on Memorial Day. It was only traumatic for a total of about 3 minutes and then it was done. She looks so cute with her earrings that match Mommy's and will never remember the ordeal!


Reid is all over the place. He's starting to scoot (backwards) but otherwise rolls wherever he needs to be. Eva's not far behind. Today Reid decided to check out the knobs on the entertainment center, and then found his way to the fireplace:


We were at a friend's daughter's 1st birthday party this past weekend and Reid decided to join Daddy in a frosty cold one (sorry, no Budweiser was available).


Say goodbye to the infant car seats. Well, at least for Reid. As you can see, it is fast approaching the weight and height limit on his. So, this may very well be his last shot in the infant seat. We'll keep Eva in hers for awhile simply for logistical purposes unless someone can tell me how we're going to carry two squirming infants in and out of daycare, home, etc.
