"Tough love" is tough!

I am loving my time off with the girls and have decided that the summer is going way too fast for my liking! Kennedy and Ava are almost 9 months old now and I can't believe how much they're changing! Kennedy has become a very easy baby. She has always been really good but now that she's crawling, she's so independent. She keeps herself entertained for hours...exploring everything around her. Ava still isn't crawling (although I give her an A for effort) so she's becoming quite frustrated. She sees Kennedy getting the toys that she wants and going wherever her heart desires and that just pisses her off! She has decided that instead of trying to crawl, she's just going to cry for mom. SO, as Kennedy explores, I find myself walking away from Ava so that she realizes that she can't be held all the time. Hearing her cry as I walk away is heartbreaking but I know it's for the best. This tough love stuff is tough!!!!

Summer is here!

I've been done with school for two weeks now and am loving my time at home with Kennedy and Ava. Kennedy is crawling all over the house and requires a lot of energy to keep up with. Ava, God love her, tries so hard to crawl but hasn't figured it out yet. She goes backwards and often gets stuck under the couch. Poor thing. She's definitely working up a sweat trying. Kennedy now has two bottom teeth and looks so cute when she smiles and shows them off. No teeth for Ava yet but she's chewing on everything in sight so I think she'll get them soon! Here are some recent pictures.
