SO CUTE!!!

I just couldn't resist taking some photos this morning (okay, and last night, and all day yesterday, someone stop me please!!!).  Personalities are in full swing here lately, as we are finding that little Brooklyn has a voice, and isn't afraid to use it!  Austin, unfortunately, is in the middle of round two of the double ear infections (ug!) and of course Cassie is her usual energetic self (thank goodness for the indoor playground that has been keeping us busy!).

Here is the latest slew of photos...... (and to think that I am looking at a better, high quality camera! Look out world!)

Nothing like matching outfits....and goofy smiles!!!

A few more from our little photo shoot...

And a few from playtime, looks who's starting to sit by themselves!

Wow....someone other than mommy has the camera!

Pizza crust anyone???  Yup that is our Brookie....LOVES food!

Honestly, I don't want to be in this chair anymore...I'll get out myself thanks!

Anyone for following in their big sister's footsteps by standing at 7 months unassisted?  Does this put us on track for walking, say, about 10 months?? UG!!!

A few of the usual goofy Cassie moments.....

And just incase you were wondering how she keeps her baby soft skin!

We'll smile at anything!

Peaceful sleeping...

Is it Spring yet???

And the snow continues to fall around us.... dropping nearly another foot yesterday and last night.  Cassie, of course, is completely in heaven,  and had fun playing out in it again today, despite the chilly temperatures.  The rest of us are just trying to stay toasty inside, next to the fire... enjoying all of our silly twin moments....except the perpetual night time crying, when is all that going to stop??!!  We hope that everyone is staying warm!

Trying out our new sun hats for the summer!

Hmmm...tug of war??? Let the toy fighting begin!!

Brookie gives up with a smile.....and Austin is happy to be the winner!

Cuddly bed-time snuggles with Mama's special bunch!

Time for our daily exercise...

Little miss pigtails is back! (I wish these lasted for longer than 30 seconds!)

We finally have our own tub rings.... and yes, our big sister is in the tub with us too.

Austin didn't seem to get enough for dinner...he REALLY wanted to suck on Brooklyn's toes!

Testing out the new sleep strategy...of snuggling the babies together...still no luck, although they don't seem to want to be fed between 10 pm and 6 am, they just aren't sleeping well, waking every hour or so and returning to sleep once they are on their side with a binky in place...when is this phase going to end??? (we're tired!)

Ways to get through cold snowy days....

Okay, so I need to get better about adding photos every week, heaven's knows I take enough of them!  And yes, I have been just snap, snap, snapping away with my new camera, trying to capture every moment.  Here is a little of what we've been up to for the last couple of weeks:  a little playing in the snow, a little playing in our favorite chairs, and a few other silly little things....

Mommy and Cassie making the first snow man of the season

Putting on the finishing touches....and eating the finishing touches!

Oh yes, this is matching at it's best!

Brooklyn showing off her belly surfing skills...And Austin gearing up for spring training!

Nothing like a mug of hot cocoa (and yes, she will find that marshmallow that got away!)

The best seat in the house for watching TV

All bundled up to go outside

Sporting our usual smiles!

Bed time stories with the girls (and you can see that Brookie is really into Curious George!)

I can't believe how fast they are growing up, starting to eat regular foods and hold their own bottles!

Mommy loves babies holding their piggies!

Pretty soon they will be crawling....look out!!!

Okay, so we are really starting to realize how big our Cassie was as a baby....these photos were taken when Cassie was about 6 months old, compared to pictures of Austin and Brooklyn a few days short of 7 months old - WOW!!

spending time in our bumbu chairs

Hmmm....getting ready for bed and learning how to spit the toothpaste rather than eat it...priceless!
