Happy 5 month Birthday

The girls celebrated their 5 month birthday yesterday.  They went to the farmers market for the first time, where they were a hit.  All of the spectators loved to look and the girls, talk to the girls, and find out more about the cutest twins in Fishers, IN!

We were able to pick up some fresh bread, and local veggies, along with an amazing cinnamon roll, while we walked along the Farmers Market in Fishers.

It was a very warm day, but we were glad to be outside for the first time in a while.  Sam and I have been fighting off colds for over two weeks.  We are still not 100%, but playing with the girls always makes us feel better.

We do not go to the doctor this month, so we do not have new stats, but we can tell both girls are getting bigger.  Kathryn continues to sleep through the night.  We feed her at 9pm and then we wake her up at 6am.  She sleeps all the way through the night, it is a treat.  We will her bottles to 6oz, and she usually takes 5 to 6oz at her feedings.  She has become quite the "talker".  Everyday when she wakes up from naps, or when she is home from school she likes to share with us information about her day, how she is feeling etc, through her babbles.  They are so cute!  She is a very animated talker, and I think she will follow in her daddy's footsteps of becoming a great story teller.

Anna is still very small and is not able to sleep as long.  She has made it 7 hours a few times, but it is not consistent.  Therefore, Sam continues to feed her at 3am.  What a great Dad!  We fill Anna's bottles to over 3oz, and she usually takes about 2 1/2 or 3oz.  Anna has started to "talk" too, but she is more of a mover and less of a talker. 

We also celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary today.  We celebrated with a lobster meal on Saturday evening, accompanied by fresh squash and peppers grilled on the grill that we bought from the Farmers market earlier in the day.  We feel lucky to have found each other!  We could not have imagined how blessed our life would be 6 years from the day we were married.  What a ride we have been on, but it is the best ride of our life.

Last weekend we celebrated Fathers Day, for Sam's first Fathers day.  The girls picked out a card for their favorite Dad!  We had lots of family time together, since we were fighting colds.  We did manage to grill steaks and veggies on the grill and make corn as a Fathers Day treat to Sam.  Even though we didn't feel well, we ate outside on the deck while the girls napped.  It was very enjoyable.

Kathryn looks like she is ready for the tennis court, and Anna likes to kick her legs a lot

Sweetest Girls, beautiful Kathryn

Sweet Anna

Anna is a little more adventurous than Kathryn.  She likes to lay on your chest and push herself off your chest and roll over onto the couch.  Sam taught her the trick and she loves it!  She is our little dare devil.  Kathryn will also do the same trick, but she isn't into it like Anna is.

Then we ended the day with Chinese takeout, because that is the only thing Sam wanted for Fathers Day.

We are starting to get ready for the first big road trip with the girls to Michigan.  In order to enjoy the beautiful fresh water in MI, the girls need to have life jackets.  Anna is sampling her pink jacket below.  Hopefully they will tolerate the jackets, so we can go on a boat ride.
