Mega Upload of More Pictures of the Babies

Again I don't think these uploaded in order, oh well, same month at least.

Conner liked checking himself out in the mirror
I think I already posted a picture like this but oh well, she's cute. This is how she likes to look at things
This is how she likes to sleep on the Boppy pillow (not really on it)
Watching some TV
This is how Conner likes to sleep, with his mouth wide open
Such a happy little guy. He is usually a pretty happy baby and he loves to kick!
Just relaxing
They kind of like to watch TV
My boys just hanging out. (When Eric holds Conner he likes to just lay there, it's pretty funny)
Some little girl likes to move around in her bed
Conner in his bed making a funny face
Eric and Conner taking a snoozer
My happy girl chillin in the pillows
Mid sneeze
Auntie Emily feeding Emma some carrots
Another picture of my happy little dude. Even though he's awake in this picture, it kind of explains what he does when he's asleep. He likes to kick his legs to keep himself bouncing in his bouncy seat.
Look! I put it in all by myself!
Conner didn't know it yet in this picture, but he was about to try beans for the first time, which he didn't not like and gagged on a bit. (Understandable, they smelled awful!)
Playing with Conner's helmet
So happy to have his helmet off!
He is so tired!
Holding hands
This is what Emma likes to do a lot. Doesn't it look comfortable?
Look how big I am getting!

10 Months Old!!

So here are Conner and Emma's 10 month old pictures:

Here's my big guy Conner:
And here's Emma:
And then both of them:
I like this one because it shows how impossible it is to get them both looking and holding still at the same time
Enjoy!

Some Randoms of the Babies

When I uploaded these I don't know if they are in order so they might be somewhat random, but that's ok.

Emma really likes to suck her thumb and it's so funny when she tries to smile and suck her thumb at the same time.
Conner won't really go to sleep unless he has his binkie in his mouth so we have to hold it in by wrapping a burp cloth or towel around his face.
Emma likes to roll over on her side a lot and she is very smiley. This is right before a bath, hence the no clothes.
Conner "jamming" to some tunes.
Tia got Emma a little flower from Hawaii when they went there a few weeks ago. This is her first little ponytail. You can't really see it in the first picture but you can kind of see what it was supposed to look like in the second.
One of the first time she rolled over. Her arm still gets stuck sometimes underneath her.
This is how I have to change Conner's bum sometimes because he likes to reach down there and then it will get everywhere.
Conner and Emma are so happy in the mornings when I get them out of bed.
We've just started this month bathing them in the real bath tub now and they LOVE it! They like to kick and splash around. It's pretty funny.
Because Conner had so many surgeries on his tummy, (you can see the scar in the second picture above) he couldn't really lay on his stomach or side for a long time so his head got really flat. Because his head was/is so flat he had to get a helmet to help re-shape it.

Here's a before:
And now with the helmet:
When Tia went to Hawaii she also got Conner a sticker for his helmet, a cute little turtle. My relatives in Boise got him some Boise State stickers too.
The other day I put Conner and Emma next to each other on the couch and had to hurry and go get something in the other room and when I came back I found this:
She obviously didn't think it was very funny like he did. And then here's both of them tipped over chewing on their hands
My little smiley Emma
So when we put Emma down to sleep or take a nap she'll almost immediately pop her thumb in her mouth and play with her blanket. She likes to move around and we usually will find her with the blanket over her face and in a different spot in the crib than where we put her.
Enjoy!

Experiences with Baby Food

The day after Christmas we decided to try and feed them baby food. We had already started feeding them baby cereal about a month prior. We tried applesauce with them first. I don't think either of them really like it a whole lot. It tasted a little tart to me.
A few days later we tried sweet potatoes with them. I think they like that better than the applesauce.
Then a few days after they we decided to let them try peas. Conner definitely didn't like them (I don't either) and Emma I don't think liked them as much as the sweet potatoes but she still ate them. When we gave Conner his first bite of peas he gave kind of a little shutter/shiver. It was so funny! Luckily, we got it on video, enjoy.

To date, they have now tried pears, squash and bananas. Emma likes all of them but Conner, I think does, but he will not open his mouth to get the spoon in. On the bright side, he is drinking a lot more from his bottles, even finishing the whole thing a few times!! Hopefully this means he won't have to get a G-tube.
