Picture Tuesday weeks 34 and 35

Kenna and Taryn are growing so fast.  Some of their 6-12 month clothes are starting to get snug this week which just seems silly.  Last Tuesday we flew to Muscat, Oman for 5 days of vacation.  The little ladies were so good, as usual.  Very few fussy moments and mostly just smiles and giggles.  We swam a lot during the first few days while we were at the Shangri-La resort.  The resort had some great pools and a lazy river too.  The girls LOVED swimming.  It's been a little while since they've been and it was like a whole new discovery for them.  We brought one little baby boat, which they loved, and they just smiled and splashed and kicked their little feet, so happy the whole time they were in the water.  They skipped morning naps a few times but we usually made the afternoon naps work.

Our last night in Muscat we stayed in a family tent on a sea turtle reserve.  We stayed up late out on the beach watching momma sea turtles lay their eggs and then we woke the kids up again at 4am to go see some more.  We brought them in their car seats so we'd be able to put them down and they would be able to sleep and they were the sweetest little babes.  They fussed just for a second and then they drank their bottles and cooed and smiled until they fell asleep under the stars.

They are getting VERY mobile this week.  It seems like Taryn just started crawling but today she came over to my lap, climbed up to her knees, and then grabbed my shirt and pulled herself up to standing.  WHAT?!  How are you standing up all by yourself?!  Too soon little baby.  She's such a cute little peanut it seems so out of place to have her standing up!

Kenna is moving more too.  She can get all the way across the room but usually she just aims for a toy or her brother and then rolls over on the ground hanging out for a while enjoying her prize.  Both babies are getting very wiggly.  Changing diapers this week is getting to be a full-contact sport.  We have to kind of pin them down with one arm so they don't roll over while they're being changed.

These little ones are also getting more noticeably attached to us and our attention this week.  They notice when we are in the room and if we are in the room and not holding them, they will both let us know that they do not approve.  If we walk past them and don't pick them up it really hurts their feelings.  It's funny, and also sometimes hard to have two little ones so upset when I have dinner to cook or vacuuming to do.  

Here are our sweet little girls at 34 weeks old.

And 35 weeks old.
