Bumblebees all around

What a day! We have had such a great couple of weeks and the girls are on the verge of taking off running {I'm pretty sure that walking will be skipped over}. They're both standing independently and are so full of personality. Aurora has become such an affectionate little girl. She gives kisses and even likes to bat her eyelashes against your cheek. She'll flash you that toothy grin and you can't help but smile. Bettye Katheryne wants to be with you doing whatever you're doing. She helps me {un}fold clothes, {un}pick up toys and {un}straighten the den. She gets very upset if she thinks that I'm leaving the room or house and she doesn't get to go. She melts down in tears if Daddy does not pick her up immediately when he comes home and she loves to play with the buttons on his shirt. Both girls talk but we're not quite sure what they're saying most of the time. We can understand "momma" "dada" "bah bah" and "brother" but the rest of it is animated garble. However, they do seem to understand {and find great humor} what the other is saying. They get cuter every day. I swear!

OK, there's a ton of photos on this post...enjoy!

Aurora has engineered a way to see the TV.

We were watching "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader."

Clearly, she is.

Bettye Katheryne loves Daddy's shirts with buttons

The girls and I went to the local corn maze last weekend.

Aurora just wanted to know what was for lunch.

Bettye Katheryne just wanted to eat grass.

Aurora's signature "camera hog" pose

Aurora watching TV. She laid out like this for 20 minutes, watching Praise Baby and swinging her feet like a teenager. I am in sooooo much trouble when she grows up!

Bettye Katheryne sat and watched TV too!

Playing in our PJs

Mom, look what I built....or, found!

Standing up big girl style! Just to give a frame of reference on their size...Bettye Katheryne {right} is wearing size 9 month clothing and filling it out nicely. Aurora {left} is wearing 6 month sized clothing and can't keep her pants on!

BK says "it's easy being cheesy!"

We love Praise Baby!

Bettye Katheryne helping me {un}clean up

Aurora loves it when the baby in the window comes to play at night {I know that sounds a little creepy...I almost didn't type it}.

A lot of their weight difference is due to their height difference.

Aurora's signature pose again!

Daddy and Tristan at the Fall Festival at Olive

Tristan got a balloon shark

I'm not sure who is more frightened...these animals...

...OR Auroa.

T-man took on the inflatable obstacle course and finished!
