The little details

Liesl brought something to my attention, the little details. I hope that I am remembering them and putting them here on the blog because I sure haven't been writing them down! Since I was thinking about that I decided to post some more pictures (more for myself) that are of the little things that I find so irresistably adorable. Like the way Addie holds her hands across her chest and tucks her little legs in and curls in her toes, and the way she knows just how to cuddle herself in my arms. And the way Reagan is SO talkative and coos at me, and the way she always manages to find her fingers (it doesn't matter which finger) to suck on. And hopefully I will soon manage to get video of them smiling at me when I tell them "Good Morning!" :) I honestly don't know how I managed without these two little snuggle bugs, and if given the choice to only have one at a time, I wouldn't. God knows what he is doing, I'll never doubt that.

Addie curling her legs and toes!
 Reagan has found her fingers!

 It's almost like she is praying. So sweet.
 Aren't they just the cutest!?!
 If I could lay them both on me I would. When they are sleeping is when I should be getting things done, but I just can't pry myself away from them. (It doesn't help that I don't WANT to pry myself away...)
 Reagan found her fingers again :)
 Every morning the girls somehow end up in bed with Momma! ;)

If you haven't yet, read my previous post for an overview of their 3rd month of life! :)

3 Months! :)

Well it seems like my average is about once a month. I really wish the girls would start napping for longer periods (and at the same time) during the day so that I might be able to blog more frequently. BUT they are only 3 months old, I'm sure it'll happen soon enough. Heck, I'm just glad they go to bed and sleep so well at night! Schedules are a MUST for us, and the girls definitely let us know when it is bedtime (some where between 7:30 and 8:30). This past month was very busy and exciting. We celebrated our first Easter, and Papa Doc (Rush's dad) came to visit, then Uncle Jake came by for a weekend, and cousin Roy was stationed here (technically Camp Johnson)! Needless to say we've been blowing and going and haven't really had much time to stop. Here is the past month in pictures:
Drove up to Beaufort, NC to visit family
 Papa Doc and the girls took a nap while Rush and I got ready for church :)
 The girls' first Easter baskets!

 Sooo precious!
 First Family Easter :)
 Papa Doc and the girls
 I love these dresses, and their expressions!
 Too cute for words
 Uncle Jake and Addie :)
The weekend Jake visited we had a homecoming party for one of our friends, the morning of the guys all went golfing together, when they got back I left the girls with Rush, Jake, and Roy so that I could shower and get ready. When I came out this is what I found. Who knew golfing took so much out of you? ;)
 They are trying to hold hands! I did not position their hands like that.
 Finally! I caught a smile on camera! I swear these girls smile ALL the time, but as soon as I bring out the camera or video camera they just stare at it.
 Addie was apparently too tired to smile :)
 Some how Addie managed to kick Daddy out of his beloved chair! lol
Daddy helped Addie to start holding her own bottle!
Reagan was talking up a storm to her reflection!
 My babies are 3 months old! Time is flying by.

 Thank you Mimi for the swim suits!
Until next time! I hope everyone enjoys the pictures. Next month is going to be extremely busy since we will be moving myself and the girls to San Antonio! (Don't worry Rush will be joining us a month later.) Take care!
