10 months!

oh my, how the time has flown by.  livi sprouted her first tooth, with a few others looking to follow shortly.  she's also become quite the snuggler (which i love), crawling over and climbing up on our laps to give a big hug.  she still gets scared with new faces but eventually warms up and turns into the little social butterfly we know her to be.  jacks now has four teeth and stands all by himself!  you can see the concentration in his face as he freely stands, even cracking a little smile after a few seconds being on his own.  both babies have developed a great new skill - clapping!  i never knew this was even a milestone, but it's been one of my favorites so far.  livi's been doing it for about a month but jacks had his first clap upon waking up in santa cruz one morning.  clapping has become contagious between the two of them, and as soon as they start swinging those arms, they have the biggest smiles and even let out a chuckle - it's the best!


we tried using the monthly photo shoot chair a different way
since they prefer standing to sitting

we've resorted to bribing them with my phones
to get them to sit still for 10 seconds

their fascination with these never ceases to amaze me

love those high cheekbones and swan-like neck

how does that death grip feel, dad? 

sf had some high temps last week - too hot for jammies

i woke at 3am worried they were cold...
thankfully, nobody woke as i zipped them in their sleep sacks

needless to say, we had more baths than usual last week

no words...just smiles 

three days a week,
the highlight of my mornings is getting pictures from dad

the highlight of my afternoons is getting pictures from leanne

in their festive gear for natnat's 4th birthday in pacifica

tutu-rific 

someone got her shirt soaked so she had to go topless...
lil' odin didn't mind
 
49er game on sunday

don't be fooled...
those smiles are for the milkshake dad promised us after the game

the babies always seem huge to me...
however, john still manages to make them look tiny!

meditating to a little adele

livi made it all the way up the stairs by herself!
