Twins 1st Fourth of July!!

Since 4th of July is Daddy's favorite holiday and it was going to be Randy and Lexy's first 4th, we decided to do something special.  We decided to do a 4th of July party here at the house.  We invited family and friends over for a BBQ and fireworks!! 

Before we started the BBQ, Randy and Lexy and their cousins played in the backyard in their little kiddie pool while the older ones played on the slip-n-slide.

She loves playing in the kiddie pool and walks all around it.  This girl has no fear.

Cousins having Fun!!

My handsome boy!!!  Happy 1st 4th of July!!!

Since it was Randy, Lexy, and Maclane's first 4th of July, my sister and God mother got together and made outfits for the kids to wear.  My Godmother made the skirts for the girls, I ironed-on the stars on their shirts, and my sister made them beautiful bows and adorable flip flops with bows!!!

Michelle and Lexy wearing their matching outfits!!

And as for the boys, we found them all matching outfits too!!!  They all looked so handsome in their red, white, and blue!!!

All five grandbabies!!!  Talk about tough to get a good picture.  3 babies, a 6 year old, and 4 year old! Yikes!!  But at least this one came out nice!

After the BBQ, we started the fireworks.  Randy and Lexy did better than I thought.  They both loved watching the colors, but as soon as the noise, pops, whistles started they both got scared.  Lexy got so scared that she had to watch most of the fireworks with Avo through the upstairs window! Randy stayed outside the entire time!

All in all, I think it was a very nice 4th of July and I love the fact that I have babies of my own to share holidays with.  It seriously makes holidays so much more fun and memorable.  Looking forward to next years 4th of July and all the holidays to come before than!

10 Months Old!!!

Oh my!!!  I can't believe that my babies are 10 months old!!!  We've already started thinking about what we are going to do for their 1 year birthday!  Wow, my babies are almost a year old.  That is just crazy to think.  It does not feel like they have been in our lives that long, but then at the same time, there's no way I can picture how our lives were without them.

Every day brings new and exciting things to the Belt house.  The biggest thing that happened to us  this month was that Lexy started walking!!  Crazy, 9 1/2 months old, and she's walking!!  It's so cute because she looks to little to be walking. :-) But man does she move and cruise!!! And for Randy, he's made some huge jumps in what he does too!  He's now able to pull himself up to his feet from his tummy!!  I've watched him do it onto the activity table and up to the couch!  He's so cute because if he has a hard time doing it, he gets frustrated, but then when he finally gets it, he looks around to make sure somebody was watching!!  He's so proud of himself!!  And so are mommy and daddy!!!

Lexy, 10 Months Old!!  7-8-11

This month, Lexy, weighs right around 19 lbs!  She's doing so much better about spitting up and keeping food in! She has 5 teeth!!  4 on the bottom and 1 on the top.  She loves food, and I mean REAL food!!  Not no baby food, except for the Gerber Fruit.  :-) She grabs onto things and pulls herself up and starts walking all by herself.  She's getting really good at it! She loves to climb.  She's starting to be able to climb out of the excersaucer and the jumparoo... you cant put her anywhere and expect her to be there when you come back.  Just the other day, she was in one of her walker-like toys and I looked down to do something and the next thing I know, she's on the ground crawling over to the hallway.  And now that she's done it once, there's no stopping her now.  She can also just about climb out of the play pen.  She is one tough cookie!!!  She says mama, dada, waves bye bye, and signals you to come to her when she wants you!  Man, do we love this little girl!!!

Randy, 10 months old! 7-8-11

This month Randy weights right around 21 lbs.  This little boy is solid!! :-)  It's crazy to think he was the smaller one when they were born!  He knows how to get around to where he wants to by army crawling.  He could care less about learning how to crawl the right way!  He's content on the way he gets around.  :) And boy does he move!  He's has learned to pull himself up to his knees and then onto his feet.  He likes to do this on the activity table and stand for a good amount of time just playing with all the neat things on the table.  He loves to play with things that have wheels and loves to crawl under things.  My mom says he's going to be a mechanic because every time we look at him, he's under the walkers or the jumparoos.  :)  He says mama and dada!  He loves to imitate what you do.  If you smack your lips, he smacks his lips, if you squint your nose, he squints his nose!  He's so cute!!!  He loves to be noticed and is so proud of himself when he sees you looking at him.  Gets the biggest smile on his face and just laughs!  We are so proud of our little man, and love his so much!!!

Randy and Lexy, 10 months old! 7-8-11

This month they started riding on the little animal push toys.  Lexy knows how to get on and off of it, but doesn't really know how to push herself on it.  Randy on the other hand, knows how to push himself around on it, but doesn't know how to get on and off of it.  It's so funny how different these two are!!  :) Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you guys!!

Riding in their New stroller! 7/2011

This month, Mommy decided it was time to get a side-by-side stroller so we can go walks on, I call it the Disneyland Stroller!! :)  I love it, and they do to!!  Now, they can both face forward and look at everything!! This was a picture of our first walk with the new stroller!
