Coupons

So in the past month I have become a coupon maniac!! No really, I think im obsessed. You can just save so much money, and with twins and a fixed income, thats the way to go. I have a coupon binder....just watch this woman, shes AMAZING! Her name is Collin and she has a site called Hip2Save right now she is doing a "Hip2Help tour" where she is going to take needed items to families affected by all the natural disasters this year, shes great, and it super inspirational!

Updates Updates!!!!

Alright!! I was looking at my blog and I realized it has been almost a month since the last time I have posted anything!! HOW CRAZY! I have been so busy with day to day life, I havent even logged on to read any blogs! Well were back, with BIG changes!!! First off, these girls are full on crawling. So I have been spending a lot of time trying to keep them out of everything!! They sort of learned to crawl and sit up by themselves all in one day. And that day was June 13, 2011. Both on the same day, crawled for the first time, and learned to sit themselves up by themselves for the first time!!

They have also been eating a ton of solids and they can now feed themselves. They love the little star puffs and the cheddar and veggie puffs. They are getting so big, and they have so much hair!! haha!!!

We also did away with our sunbaby diapers (for sale if youre interested i have 32 of them) and 100% switched to the flip system with Indian cotton prefolds....AMAZING. We love them love them love them and we can use them at night, I havent used a sposie in weeks!!

And right this second, I am taking a break from cleaning and baby proofing my moms house (since were still visiting until September) I bought two new area rugs (which will go home with us when we leave) a swiffer and a ton of wet and dry clothes. I am all set for these little ones!! I have officially baby proofed 90% of the house yay!! Well I better get back to it....8 month update coming soon!!!

Rylie and Laramie, cute as ever

Laramie in Grandmas arms :)

Hiatus is officially over

Hey!!! Im back!! I had to take an internet break. The girls have been doing so much changing lately, I couldnt handle everything at once!! Either way, I have a few posts in the making so thy should all be up today!!!

♥ ♥ 7 MONTHS ♥ ♥

7 months

I have two 7 month olds?

WOW

Well, They have both achieved so much in these past 7 months. They are so, so different from when they were born! They are both now almost crawling, they both sit on their own (though they dont have much interest in it for more than a few minutes) And they LOVE mealtime with big girl food!

Rylie Leona

This little girl just melts my heart. She is really the sweetest baby I have ever met. She is milder than her sister, and is much more easy going (unless she is sick) Speaking of sick, she is sick right now. Laramie got all three of us sick...but I dont know where it came from. Anyway, Rylie has one tooth, and she got it 2 days before her 7 month mark!! (6/2/11) She is a total thinker. She will examine something for a long time, just trying to figure out what its for and what she can do with it. She can *almost get herself from the crawling position to a sitting position. Her head is almost back to normal shape, but she still has a little flat spot. Her hair is getting so long and thick!! I am so excited!!She has started to like finger foods and is always up for trying something new. She is the light of my life for sure. She LOVES loves loves her daddy!!! She wears size 3 diapers, size 2 shoe (though we dont have any shoes haha) size 6 & 9 month pants, size 9 month clothes, and size 12month sweatshirts.

Laramie Beth

She is the cutest little munchkin ever!! She will give you a look sometimes and all I can think is "wow, shes the spitting image of her daddy!" This little girl is the epitome of a Daddy's Girl, and she gets soo excited when we talk to him on the phone :) She is a "doer" she doesnt care to try to analyze things like her big sis, all she cares about is doing it and figuring it out. She dives head first into life and its great. She can almost crawl as well, and I think she may do it first. She has a new thing just in the past week or so where she does the "downward dog" yoga pose, on her tippie toes and arms fully extended, then falls over and laughs :) She has two teeth!! the bottoms are both there!! SO cute. She too has a flat spot, but its minor...and im at peace with it. She is so adventurous and happy!! She is my little sunshine. She wears size 3 diapers, size 2 shoe (again, though we dont have any!) size 6 & 9 month pants, size 9 month clothes and size 12 month sweatshirts.

Heres to the last 7 months!!!
