Picture Tuesday week 42

Taryn and Kenna are finally feeling better.  They were not doing their best for an entire week.  They both had a couple days of low fevers and then several days of just being fussy and feeling extra tired and needing to be snugged.  Which we didn't mind all too much.

Taryn's second little bottom tooth is starting to peek through today and she's been a little cranky about it, poor sweet baby. We had our first family pictures as a family of 6 last weekend.  I think it went pretty smoothly considering that we have so many small busy kiddos.  I felt like Glenn or I or both of us were trying to get someone to look at the camera or smile a normal smile for 2 hours.  Hopefully Allison was able to get just one picture with all of us looking normal!

Taryn's hair has changed so much seemingly overnight.  This week she's got just enough fluff that it's starting to look a little funny with a headband because it makes her hair stand up funny over the headband so we're trying to put little clippies in it instead.  But now Kenna has discovered how irresistible it is to pull Taryn's hair clips out and chew on them.  Taryn doesn't like that very much.  Her hair isn't quite ready for elastics but it's fun to see how different she looks with just a little more hair on top and her little soft hairs covering her ears now too.

The girls are settling into a pretty decent routine.  They usually wake up around 6 or 6:30, take a nap around 8 and are up again at 9 or 10 depending on if we have anywhere to be.  Then they're starting to get fussy again around noon which is right when Glenn and Tate are heading back to work and school after lunch and when Finn goes down for his nap too.  They sleep until 2 or 3 and then go back to bed at about 7:30 every night.  They are being pretty sweet playing on the floor with toys or their brothers while we get cleaning or practicing or homework or cooking done.  We're going to be putting Christmas stuff up soon so we'll see how that goes with two babies on the floor!  The boys were always so good.  They'd get sneaky once in a while but usually they'd listen when we told them, "no" even when they were little babes.

Here are our sweet little girls at 42 weeks old.

Pictures were a bit of a joke today.  I was trying to talk Tate through his piano practicing during our little photo session so my attention was already divided.  The girls would smile at me so big until I put the camera up to my face and then their faces went blank like they were under a spell.

Hypnotized by the camera and unable resist the urge to crawl toward it and try to get fingerprints all over the lens.  It was hilarious.  Silly little girls.

 I love Taryn's little worried eyebrows in this picture.  She's always had such expressive eyebrows.  Even before she grew in some eye brows.

 Here we come, Mom.  We're gonna get a closer look at that camera of yours.  Hmmmmm.

 Playing with the boys' knight sword.

I love my sweet little baby girls.  What little dolls.
