It is so cool how we went through 5 embryo during our IVF cycles and each failed cycle was devastating. However, now that we have Edie and Ella we could not even imagine having different babies. It's really hard to describe but trust me .... it's amazing!!! It is also cool to be able to watch a tiny human learn EVERYTHING that they do ......from lifting their heads and rolling over to submerging their bodies into ice cold buckets of water (more on this later)!!!
So for a little flashback to their 6 month appointment when Edie weighed nearly 17 pounds and Ella nearly 15.....
Dr. B was pleased with their growth and development ... they are right on track with everything. We are fortunate to not have any concerns or health issues!!! Now stats:
Edie Claire: 33 inches
24 pounds 7 ounces
Ella Grace: 30.25 inches
22.5 pounds
Ella may be small but she is fiesty. She is quite the bully ... pushing and pulling Edie ... I saw her pull her hair yesterday. Before we even brought her home from the hospital, Jon gave her a little pet name .."bossy"! Call it daddy intuition but he hit that nail right on the head. She is sassy!!! I often speak sternly to Rubi, who is a big furry pain in the you know what. Usually I say NO RUBI, DON'T DO THAT! Well Ella has picked that little line up and has added a little finger shaking. It's hard not to laugh ...
Now on to the cuteness.......
Ella was playing in a bucket of water this afternoon and nothing could get her out ... except for when she needed to pick her nose!! (I'll post the bucket picture in another post...I thought I had it uploaded here)
Edie watching her sister in the bucket ... preferring to stay dry and warm.
We recently had Applebee's takeout ... Ella got into the ketchup!!
Here they are in their new booster seats........
Edie loved dipping fries in ketchup but not as much as she loved trying to get ketchup out of the packets......
Ella drinking from a sippy cup with a straw........
Edie .... going for the fries and ketchup!!!
We had a little piece of cake to share for their half birthday ..... and just like their 1st birthday cake ......Edie was more cautious about it than Ella ...

Such big girls!! In booster seats already - that rocks! I noticed we have the same high chairs - they're not fun to clean!
Love the nose pickin'! They are so cute!
Happy 18 months! Where has the time gone? The girls are really growing so fast!
It is amazing how fast they learn! Can't wait to see the bucket pictures and I'm glad about Kindermusik...they'll warm up quickly and it definitely helps to play the CDs at home. I usually do it during breakfast.
