Photoshoot!

A few months ago, we had some pictures done by Amber Beckham that were originally supposed to be their six month shots, but were really more like seven months! Then she came back a second time because the pictures taken outside didn't turn out like she wanted, mostly because the girls were so fascinated with the grass, that they wouldn't look up at the camera. When we did the second take, they were so enthralled with the camera, that they didn't smile much. Of course as their mom, you are doing EVERYTHING possible to get them to crack a smile and making all the silly sounds possible, and you know they are happy babies, but oh well, not a lot of smiles outside. They are still great pictures and we are thrilled with how they turned out!!! Here are some of our favorites!!!

Mommy & Daughters

Kennedy

Weeeeee!

Natalie

Love her expressions

Kennedy clapping her hands

Hmmm, how can I get in there with you?!?!??

Oooh, what's over here???

Picture me clapping and making sounds and waving, but no smiles...

they're still pretty, anyway!

Happy girl

Playing in our backyard

I love this one of Kennedy

Our favorite one out of the whole bunch...

this is a rocking chair that belonged to my mom when she was a child

I love that they are both looking and leaning forward... such cuties!!! ;-)

Another adorable pic and two smiles!

These girls are the sweetest!

Go Big Orange!

For the past few weeks, we have been cheering on our Tennessee Vols. The girls show their team spirit in their orange outfits. The Vols aren't off to the best start, but hopefully their season will improve! Here are a few pics ~

The Sweetest Thing

So for a while now, the girls have really entertained each other... it is usually Natalie doing something that makes Kennedy crack up laughing. This is one thing that I cannot get enough of and just want to laugh and then cry right along with them. It is the sweetest thing. Natalie is turning into a "ham" and just loves to make Kennedy look at her and laugh. And Kennedy must think that Natalie is hilarious! I've gotten it on video a few times, so just had to share with you. The fun will only continue ;-)

Catching Up

It's been a while since our last post, so I am trying to catch up on what has been happening around here and recent pics. Here are some of our latest adventures ~

Natalie gets driving lessons from Daddy
And she loves it!
(don't worry, we were right in front of our house!)

We all went to Bass Pro and Kennedy grew antlers (what are we feeding her?!?!?!!)

The FACE

What do you think this face means???

Ewwww

I don't like this

No more!

These pictures make me crack up because they capture perfectly the face Natalie does when she does NOT want any more food or her bottle. The pictures say it all! :o)

Girls Just Want to Have Fun!!!

Kennedy & Natalie have been really, really fun these days! They play very well together and also can entertain themselves. They are also learning to share, and as of now, are doing a great job of it! I guess you have to, when you have a sister who is constantly taking a toy you are playing with!!!
It is a whole new world now that Natalie is on the move, and I've still got some babyproofing to do. She is a fast crawler and will follow me everywhere I go. Kennedy just watches her sister go everywhere and laughs at her, but still seems content to just sit in one spot and play.
Well, here are some pictures of the girls playing around the house...

If Kennedy is in the exersaucer, Natalie will pull up to it and play with her :)

Natalie says "Go Vols!"

Such a happy baby

Watching Kennedy driving the car

Kennedy driving the car - beep, beep!

My pretty, pretty girl - she still loves the jumperoo!

They love standing and playing at the musical table

Can't you tell they are having fun?!?!?!
