All the Pictures I've Been Meaning to Post

I intended to post more frequently over the last month but had trouble finding the time.  So, here's one long post with a few highlights from the past month.  

We are eating more finger foods, which means Cooper is a lot more interested in everything we do. 

It also means we get food stuck in our hair. . . like noodles

and cheese.

.

We had some fun fashion moments - like this cute sweater

and these cool fire truck pajamas.

Maren made and answered phone calls (using what is actually a remote control).

Owen made a game out of trying to steal his sister's socks. . . 

It was not well-received!

We put on some cute outfits and celebrated Thanksgiving. 

And, finally, we stayed at our first hotel while visiting family and friends.  This pictures is a bit blurry because we could not stop bouncing on the bed!

Eleven Months Old!

Owen and Maren are 11 months old!  I can't believe how close we are to their first birthday!  Here are a few fun facts about the kiddos this month: 

• They can pull themselves up on anything and are standing independently for a few seconds at a time.
• They are "Sooooo Big!"  When they want to hear this, they throw their hands up over their heads. 
• Owen tries to call dogs by patting his knee like Grandpa Dave. Cooper refuses to respond to this because he is a stubborn Corgi.  
• Maren also tries to call Cooper by very quietly making the "P" sound when he walks by.  

 This month, I tried to keep Owen and Maren from eating their stickers by taping them to a door.  This plan did not work . . . 

They spotted the stickers right away and began trying to find a way to get them down. 

These are the only pictures we have of both babies facing the camera. (They are both teething and like to chew on their nuks.) 

After almost an entire minute of sitting in one place, they took off.  The stickers were down seconds later.
