Happy Mother's Day!

We had a very nice Mother's Day. Dadda and the girls brought me breakfast in bed. They also made this incredibly cute video. Happy Mother's Day!

We take our crêpes very seriously!

Karis joined us for breakfast in bed, but she ate in her highchair.

Karis thought she was hilarious by putting her wet wipe on her head. She loves to make us laugh (and put things on her head).

Since Momma and Dadda thought this was so funny, the big girls gave it a try as well.

Around Here

Some days quiet times still end up as nap times. 

Juliette loves doing quiet time and very rarely naps. Ella is more likely to nap than Juju is. Juliette is great at cleaning up after quiet time and likes to come down to help Ella clean as well.

Karis is making some big developments these days. She stands without hanging onto anything for long periods of time. Spencer and I find it funny because she does it so often that it seems like she is training herself to walk. When she goes into her determined "standing" mode, we say that she is "doing reps". It does seem like a workout for her. She gets so excited for herself when she is balancing, the look on her face is precious. Video coming soon.

And she no longer looks like a hockey player- her middle teeth have come in. 

Sisterly love. 

10 000 Reasons

The girls love singing 10 000 Reasons by Matt Redman. I like the part of the video where Matt Redman is no longer singing, but Juju continues to sing and Ella tries to explain that she shouldn't be singing during that part.
We love hearing their little voices. It brings joy to my heart.

First Dentist Appointments

Yesterday, the girls had their highly anticipated first visit to the dentist. They were so excited to go, and took their visit very seriously. We prepped them by telling them to listen to what the dentist tells them to do. Juju took this very literally. When the hygienist asked her to hop over to the chair, Juju put her feet together and hopped like a bunny. It was really funny!

At the end of their visit, they each got to pick a prize from the prize box. And they also got new toothbrushes and new floss!

Princess Juju

The other day Juju wanted to be a princess for her quiet time. I don't know any princesses who wear one white sock and one blue sock.

Conversations with Karis

It is very fun to have a "conversation" with Karis. She usually says "no" to most things we ask her.

More biking...

Here are some more pictures of the girls riding their bikes. Since Ella received her pedal bike she greets most people by saying "I have a pedal bike." 

Karis is very interested in trying to get onto a bike. 

Juliette loves to ride her strider bike. She is very good at "gliding".

The girls got to go for a bike ride with their friend Hudson last weekend.
