SO CUTE

Well I can't think of any cute and clever titles, so I will go with the obvious that the girls are just so cute. There is not really that much to report (our days are pretty much the same and pretty uneventful). So here are the few noteworthy events:
Here is Audrey showing off a new outfit from Aunt Amy...look at all the cute little hair!
1. Brooke seems to really be trying to sit up. Whenever she is in a reclined upright position (such as in a bouncer or being held) she uses her abs and neck to pick her head up and looks like she is trying to sit up. Unfortunately she is not strong enough to maintain that and then ends up in a little mound of baby.
Brooke has also discovered the fun of pulling up her little dress...I will have to have a conversation about when that is appropriate.
2. They are both starting to reach for things (finally!!) to play with...but only occasionally and frequently after I have reminded them that the toys are there hanging in front of them...but it is still progress.
Audrey is doing her Elvis impersonation!
3. The girls seem to be adopting their own schedule. They are really good sleepers in the morning (which is why I am posting now). They go down for a nap after active alert time and sleep until their next feeding. However, as the day progresses they apparently don't like to nap as much. They wake up at 1 for the 1:30 feeding and then at 4 for the 5 feeding. (yes I have tried keeping them up longer before the nap but that is in no way successful...one will get fussy and demand all the attention and the other will just fall asleep since they are left alone). The evening is starting to be a stressful time, but I have heard that that is true for almost everyone with kids.
Adorable little babies...and Audrey's head is really not as tiny as it looks in this picture!
4. Unfortunately we had our first not successful outing. We went to Chili's for dinner on Saturday and Brooke was not pleased. So we became that family where one person is up walking the baby around while the other scarfs down their food so they can switch out. Of course she finally calmed down in the car on the way home...and by calmed down I mean fell asleep.

Here are some more pictures (I go crazy taking pictures and then it is so hard to only share a few!)
Brooke: "I demand to be let out of this seat immediately!!"

Audrey "I don't get why people wear beads just for Mardi Gras. They are fun all the time...hey where did my pants go??"

Both: "These hats are sooo embarrassing!!

This is what they look like in almost all their pictures...Brooke with her tongue out and Audrey looking shocked and possibly appalled.

Audrey just being adorable!!

Brooke looking so sweet and thoughtful!
