Sweet girls – Brina and Karlie

Today’s Flashback Friday goes back to when the girls were 7 months old.  They are growing and changing so quickly.  It doesn’t take much to make them smile.  They love hanging out with family and friends.  A new experience was trying on and attempting to stand in shoes this month.  They were not too sure about what to think about having shoes on their feet, but decided since Mommy and Daddy thought it was fun and exciting that it must be a good thing.  Their little giggles make our days so much sweeter.

Being goofy – Brina and Karlie

Brina and Karlie talking with each other.  Love hearing them gibber jabber and giggle.

Brina LOVES the “Johnny Jump Up”!  She will literally jump and spin around until she crashes.  It is hard keeping toys on the tray for her because she is always moving.  She is all smiles when she is playing in it.

Jake clipping Karlie’s toenails.  Clipping nails made me so nervous so Jake was delegated to do that task for the kids the first few times.  Karlie thought it was hilarious having her toenails trimmed.

Two sleepy babies in a pile.  Brina sucking on her middle fingers and Karlie sucking on her thumb.

Karlie having fun playing

Brina pulling on her ear….hopefully she is just playing not another ear infection.  You never knew when she had an ear infection because she typically did not run a fever with an ear infection.  She still looking happy so that’s a good thing!

Karlie looks cute in this little “puppy” shirt.  She didn’t mind having the hood up.

Look Brina’s standing on her own.  Way to go Brina Bee

Daddy and Brina talking

Karlie a little unsure about these things on her feet….not quite certain that she likes them yet.

Karlie – “Hey look what I can do Mom with these new shoes!”

Oh no, Karlie’s getting a little off balance.  Hurry Dad and catch her before she hits the ground!

Karlie relaxing and content with life

Brina originally started covering her eyes with her opposite arm to block out the sunlight or light in the room when she wanted to go to sleep while sucking on her middle fingers of her other hand.  This habit continued for longer than we preferred, but we did finally break her of the finger sucking and eyes covering habit.

One…two…three…tackle Brina (who was hysterically laughing at this new game).

Brina loves having fun with Daddy!  She always giggled when he held her up in the air.

Karlie loves playing with toys and making them sing

Love walking into their bedroom first thing in the morning and seeing these to smiling faces looking back at me.  Glad that they are happy babies that are always excited to see us.
