More, More, More

Had to share a few more pictures... here are a few more of the spoon and other happenings.  It is so hard to believe Silas and Avery will be 5 months next week!  I know, I know... time flies.

   

They love to stroll!  The other day when the sun was out, I just had to bundle us all up (it was still freezing outside!) and walk... Millie too of course:-) Everybody enjoyed the outing!

We've already joked about Avery's "ruffles and bows"... I'm afraid we have a diva on our hands! She LOVES to just look at herself in the mirror. She just smiles and talks to herself... so cute!  When she puts on a frilly dress (this was one of the dresses I wore as a baby:-), it's like she comes to life! ha.

                       

     

They love their new toy Santa brought!

Avery in ruffles...

All cuddled up on a cold, dreary morning...

Silas and Avery have just started to "notice" each other - so funny!  They will just look at each other and talk and talk, talk, talk.  But I must also mention that they "notice" each other being held by someone... I think they've already picked up on jealousy....

They are so much fun to watch... playing together!

Rice and Rolling...

(Again, these are several videos... so if you're getting the email updates, you'll have to go to the actual blog site to watch them)

The day after Christmas, we had so much fun recording "tummy time". They've rolled before, but I think this is the first time they really figured it out... and had fun doing it!

I've been talking about how funny Silas is when we wake him up... you've got to see Phase 1, 2 and 3 of the process. Hilarious! I just wish we could hear what he is thinking:-)

Our pediatrician told us at the 4-month appointment that it was time to introduce our Western culture eating apparatus, the SPOON, to Silas and Avery. He warned us that it probably will take several and possibly many times for them to catch on to the idea... We wanted to be sure to catch the first try on video.

4 months!!

We went to the pediatrician today for Silas and Avery's 4 month shots - they both did great and only cried a little bit with the shots. They got one less this time:-) so only 2 needles and one oral vaccination.  As I type this, they are both napping soundly in the swing and bouncer!  Their 4 month stats:  (just wait til you see... they've GROWN so fast!)

Silas

15lb 9oz  (jumped from the 30th percentile at 2 months to 70th!)

24.5 in long  (60% percentile now)

42.5cm head circumference  (don't remember this one!)

Avery

14lb 1oz  (from the 20th percentile to 60th!)

23.75 in. long (40th percentile)

41cm head circumference

They both got a glowing bill of health from the Dr.!  They've soared up the charts from a measly 5th percentile at birth.  What can we say... these kiddos love to eat!  :-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  What an exciting year 2011 will be!!!

4 months!!  I forgot the sign. oops. 

Sunday night we all went to a birthday party for our friend, Brian Ray's 30th. Vera Kate was so nice to let Silas and Avery share the attention of her wonderful grandparents and great-grands while moms and dads cooked Smores outside!

Silas and Avery loved seeing their friend Vera Kate again!

Silas, what do you think about that pretty girl?! 

Their weight and length aren't the only things growing.. check out Avery's hair!  It's time to summon Steven Fields.  And invest in a baby hair dryer. Do they make those?

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Btw, he did get a nice haircut 2 days later:-)

Christmas with the Koonce's!

Grace and Micajah hosted our growing crew of now 14! Grace cooked a delicious pot of spaghetti, we celebrated Christmas, Aunt Debra's birthday, and of course, played with babies:-)  Silas and Avery proudly donned camouflage for Uncle Paul, Daddy and Caleb...

Oh geesh, what we do to make babies smile...  HA.

Starting lessons early...

by the way, it's a lighter for the fireplace or grill..., not a real gun...

Before Silas spit up all over Kelly and Grace's couch... sorry!

Avery loves her hat!

Can't you just hear him... "Ho, freakin' ho"

Our growing family!!  Love y'all!!

Video footage...

Avery loves Moppy singing to her!
Bushel and a Peck!

In case you've never heard the entire Tweety/Sylvester song... 

Silas and Jack:  where it all begins.... 

White Christmas 2010!

Ok, so what did we do before kids? I didn't think we were really THAT boring... what a fun Christmas holiday with family and our two newest members and centers of attention!! I often have to sit back and thank God for these precious moments with family... what blessings.

The Warf 4 spent Christmas Eve in Grenada (Millie LOVED her vacation in the PetHotel over the weekend) . We went to the candlelight service at FBC Grenada and then had a scrumptious traditional meal, thanks to Donna Reid (a.k.a. Mimi)!  Silas and Avery did great - they are such troopers and just rolled with the flow all weekend!  They even slept just like they do at home in the pack and play:-)  (Silas sleeps ALL NIGHT! and Avery is usually up only once or twice... progress!)

Like I mentioned... Silas sleeps ALL night!  I even have to wake him up at 7am some mornings. I've got to film him while I get him up - it is hilarious. He doesn't like waking up... (just like his Daddy). He finally openes his eyes...

Our first White Christmas!!!



Santa didn't forget to stop by for Silas and Avery:-)



The boyz on the couch.

After Christmas morning in Grenada, we all loaded up and headed to Jackson, TN to Mop and Pop's house! Sara, my first cousin, and her husband Jarred just had their second child 2 days after Silas and Avery were born... babies, babies, everywhere! 


Moppy and Avery. Style lessons 101.

I couldn't forget to share these cute pics of Silas hamming it up for the camera!!! He has become quite the talker!

Wheel came on.

and the camera was non-existent again.

There are cute videos I must post... will do that soon!

Catching up...more pictures

This is Avery. Either full speed ahead OR...

 

Stopped cold in her tracks. HA.

Getting ready for their bath... watching a mobile.... and holding hands! Awwwww.

Silas LOVES books. He focuses in on every page. So funny!  He's Mr. Serious. Mr. Thinker.

Look! She's napping!  By the way, she only sleeps with her arms in the air.



Happy boy!

Silas loves to sing!  Check it out:
