Another month gone by

Wow, it is December 8 already and the girls are 7 months old! Well, essentially they are 4 month olds, but still!

The house has been a revolving door of company for the month of November. Cousin Shari and Oma and Opa, and Great Grandma Evelyn came to visit and help out 2 weeks in a row because Dad had to go to Redmond. Then Gma and Gpa F came for Thanksgiving. But now we have a few quiet weeks before the Christmas celebrations start.

The girls have started being more fun everyday. Evie's latest thing is "Thhhpt" - she can do it and loves it when we do it back - makes her laugh even mid-cry. She is still the fussy one and wants to be toted around like a sack of potatoes (thus the nickname "spud"). She also goes by Evie bear (i.e. Halloween costume) and Evie Claus (red Christmas outfit).

Maggie has become the talker - she will talk to us or stuffed animals or the TV. She is also mellow most of the time and can hang out with her toys or watching TV (oops). She is the thumb sucker and likes to play with her hands. Her nicknames are Maggie Bug (Halloween costume) and Maggie Elf (green Christmas outfit).

The girls got another round of their RSV shots - not fun, much crying. But they weighed in at 13 and 11 pounds for Evie and Maggie, respectively. They've had a few stuffy noses, but thankfully staying fairly healthy - thanks to handwashing and the fact that the girls don't go anywhere in public.

Otherwise all are doing well and looking forward to the holidays!

Oh, check out the new pictures also.
