Happy Valentines Day!

Mollie and Charlie - 7.5 months

Ella the cheerleader!

Ella is cheering for Upward this year.  She loves it, and is so darn cute in that uniform.

 

Charlie and Mollie are not impressed with their sister's cheerling ability.

Ella lost her first tooth!

After about a week of wiggling and working, Ella lost her first tooth on January 26!  We were at Warm Blessings doing a service project for our Daisy troop, and she just walked over and handed it to me!  Of course everyone there fawned over her and made her feel so special.  The tooth fairy was extremely generous, she just couldn't resist that sweet, toothless face.

The twins are 6 months old!!

At their 6 month check-up this week, the twins passed with flying colors.  They are just perfect (of course!), and neither we nor the doctor have any complaints.  They both received shots, and they both were unhappy and feverish the next day.  Luckily, the grumps lasted just one day and they were back to their happy selves once again! 

Mollie - 15lbs 4oz, 25inches
Charlie - 16lbs 8oz, 27inches

Also, Mollie got her first tooth just a couple days after the checkup (2/2)!  We knew it was coming, and sure enough, she bit Nana's finger!  Charlie shouldn't be too far behind.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the window with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

Santa came!!





Christmas is FUN!!

Bows are fun, too!


Four Great-Grandchildren at Grandma's.
A little Christmas bear at Nana's house. We bought this outfit last Christmas when we just found out we were expecting. But, we only only bought one! How silly of us to think we would only have one more sweet baby this year!


Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve at the Pearsall's.

We enjoyed a delicious meal made by Chuck, then desserts by Nana and Mamaw. Then, after multiple requests by Ella, we opened presents!


What? Anna got an Easy Bake Oven??Oh man, I need to open this big one to see what I got!
Yup, Ella got an Easy Bake Oven, too! Thanks Nana!

Daddy opened his Star Wars game from the girls. :)
Charlie and Mollie couldn't be left out. They both received presents, but the bows were more exciting.

Merry Christmas from the twins!
Ella's Easy Bake cookies were delicious!
Finally, Mollie and Charlie with the best gifts ever!

Mollie is so excited about her ball!

The twins welcomed their newest friend on December 16th, sweet little Claire Elizabeth Lyvers.
They also started eating real food! Mollie loves it, and is already a pro at eating carrots and peas!
Charlie, on the other hand, wants nothing at all to do with solid food of any sort. I think Nana said it best when she said, "I may as well have been putting poop in his mouth." Just look at that face!
And he's even gagging here! Not because he is choked, but because he thinks it is so gross!
I guess we'll just have to keep trying with Charlie, but Mollie has eating a whole serving of veggies (carrots, then peas) for four nights now.

We're getting big!!!

We can sit up (sort of)!


And hold our heads up (they are so heavy)!

We are so silly!
