June

We started June with another fun play date with our twin group.  :)  

We always have so much fun lining them all up by their ages!;)

I love this picture of Katherine.  She was so proud of herself for getting out of her pajamas.  Pretty impressive, I'd say.:)

My sweet friend Mere watched Kaden and Katherine one morning. Her twins, Kathryn and Garrett, took such good care of our twins.:)

I took these pictures of Kaden while I was feeding Katherine in the front seat.  He was waiting so patiently and he seemed pretty proud of himself for being in the drivers' seat.:)

Later in June, Kaden finally outgrew his second helmet.  It's hard to believe that he started in January. Time flies when you're having fun.;)  I took this picture of Kaden with Shana, his therapist.  She was so sweet with Kaden and even though I won't miss the long drive or the hassle of a helmet, we will miss sweet Shana!;)

They had their 9 month appointments in June.  There was a longer than usual wait, so I did all sorts of creative things to pass the time.:) Their doctor said they were doing great!  

Katherine:

Weight: 12 lbs. 3 oz.  (less than 1% adjusted) 

Height: 24 inches (less than 1% adjusted)

Head: 17.3 inches (83% adjusted)

Kaden:

Weight:15 lbs. 11 oz. (2%, 11% adjusted )

Height: 27 inches (47%adjusted )

Head: 18 inches (93%  adjusted)

We love these two stinkers!:)

Here are a few other fun photos.  Katherine tried Mum Mums for the first time and loved them.:)

 Kaden has become quite a pro at scooting backwards. He ends up under our furniture quite a bit.:)  He's obviously pretty proud of himself.:)

 We celebrated Father's Day at the end of the month.  I took Karson to Seasons 52, which is his favorite restaurant, while Gramps and Granny kept the babies.:)

Katherine and Kaden made their Daddy this sweet footprint keepsake. I sure hope they follow in their Father's footsteps!:)

Katherine,

We love seeing you grow and grow!  You might be tiny, but you make sure everyone knows when you enter a room.:)  You have started to try some new solid foods this month.  You love pears, sweet potatoes, peas, and Mum Mums.  Avocado isn't your favorite, but you'll eat it if we give it to you.  You also like yogurt melts and puffs. You have started to sit up on your own this month.  You tip over when you try to move, but we know you'll be a pro at sitting in no time!  You've started to lift your head up and look around when you're on your tummy.  You love to be able to see all that is around you.  You have the sweetest smile.  You just melt our hearts when you look at us. Your brother thinks you're pretty special, too! You've actually started interacting with him a little this month.  Sometimes you laugh at each other and start talking while you're eating.  It's pretty cute, if I do say so myself.;) We love you baby girl!:)  

Love,

Daddy and Mama

Kaden,

We love to see you grow and grow, too!  You have become quite the explorer.  We've started to "baby proof" the house, because you want to explore everything.  We love that you are so active and curious. You also have started to try some new solid foods this month.  You also love pears, sweet potatoes, peas, and Mum Mums.  Avocado isn't your favorite, but, like your sister, you'll eat it if we give it to you.  We think you don't like the texture. You also like yogurt melts and puffs. You have started to sit up on your own this month.  You have become very strong and you can move all around and still maintain your balance.  One of the most exciting things this month is that you've started saying "mama." You said it for the first time when I went into your room after nap time.  I thought it was just a coincidence, but after I took your sister to the living room and came back to get you, you said it again.  It could just be a coincidence, but it sure was sweet to hear!  We love you baby boy!:) 

Love,

Daddy and Mama
