Brina trying to steal a piece of Rachel’s birthday cake!

Today’s Flashback Friday goes back to September 2005 when the girls were eight months old.  We celebrated my brother Lee’s birthday with several of our cousins who were still going to college in town.  The girls learned how hold their bottles on their own.  They loved being silly and playing together.  They could easily make each other laugh.

 Playing a game….fun times!

 Daddy gave Karlie a bite of Uncle Lee’s birthday cake.  He let her lick off one of the candles.

 Ummm….Karlie….I think you might have some frosting on your nose.

 They think they are so funny…silly girls playing around before drinking their bottles – Brina & Karlie

 Brina happy and playing on the floor

Karlie smiling at all the fun toys around her

 Two babies in a bucket, they were ok with this until Jake spun them around.  Then both Brina and Karlie didn’t like it.

Brina in the Johnny Jump Up with her feet on Karlie’s walker tray.  They thought they were so funny in this position!

Karlie you have a bulls eye target stuck to your nose.  She didn’t care.

Brina laughing and making some noise.

 Silly Brina it’s time to get dressed not time for playing!

This was a big moment for them.  They officially can hold their own bottles.  It was an exciting and sad day for Mommy.  I was glad they could do it and it saved me a lot of extra time, but I did miss some of the morning snuggles with them.    I was able to squeeze in plenty throughout the day though.

 Brina was thrilled to find the blue ball and that she could pick it up and throw it by herself.
