Addy & Twister

Every now and then I just have to share my sweet little grandchildren.  I get to play with Tristan and Adrianna every week, but I usually don't have a spare hand for a camera.  They keep me hopping.

It's so amazing to me how quickly the time is flying!  Mr Beautiful Brown Eyes is getting SO big!  Although he's 2 years old, he's about the size of a 4 year old.  He love Max & Ruby, but he calls it Two Maxes.  He still isn't talking much.  I'm very anxious to carry on a conversation with him, sigh.

Can you believe that Ms Bright Blue Eyes will be a year old in a couple of weeks?!  She's still pretty tiny but she's about 18 lbs now and wearing size 6 month clothes.  She is toddling around just preciously!

This particular day she was all smiles!   I took these last week, when she was still toothless, now she has three teeth poking through!

She loves hugs and kisses and helping me cook.  It's amazing how much she loves being held, she doesn't wiggle at all while I hold her on my hip and cook with the other hand.  And every time I kiss her she giggles.

Tristan likes to close his eyes when he sees the camera.  But at least he's quit running from it, lol.  For this photo, I thought the closed eyes worked; he's lost in his song.

I love to see her smile!

This table sure has made her mad a few times.  Before she toddled, when she crawled, she would crawl between the couch and this table and get stuck, then stay squished and squealing until I "saved" her.

Playing patty-cake and watching brother.  She has a lot of patience with her older brother and all the ways he "helps" her. :)

However, she would not let him hold for any photos.  She kept tugging away from him and I ended up with legs, or arms. . .well you get the idea, nothing usable except this one.  She's looking and smiling and appearing to sign "more", but Tristan looks distracted by the bear's Santa hat.

Twister sure tried to hold her down.

She decided to take a whirl at being a singer.

I bet she's going to love her birthday cake!  Her birthday is exactly 1 week before Christmas.

O.M.G!  He smiled!  Can you believe that he smiled, with eyes open, for the camera?!

Eventually, all that walking wears a girl out and little Addy needs a snuggle and a nap.  The funny thing is, now that she has become a snugglebug, Twister has decided being cuddled isn't so bad.  So I end up with two on my lap.

Then he's back to playing with his cars - vroom!

Naptime's overrated, so after a quick snuggle, she's off and running again.

At least she's still smiling.
