Used car deck

Max pushed Kira's car around while he drove his.  He was so excited when she finally grabbed the steering wheel, but he remains concerned that her feet do not touch the bottom of the car.

First, Max tried to push Kira's car and drive his own at the same time, but that was a bit tough.

Max was beyond excited to spot this caterpillar!

"Mommy are these MY cough drops?!?"  They are his new obsession 

Today was Kira's hottest day on Earth!  It was nearly 90 degrees out, but she was cool in the shade and her lemon romper.

Kira loves to smile back at absolutely anyone!

It's a little hot for this outfit, mom

Post-bath laughs-

"Look, mommy! We are in a show!"

Sunday fun

Sunday morning Mickey flapjacks with the boy who slept from 10:15pm to 4:45am.  Funny boy pretended to go to sleep this evening at 5:30pm, only to emerge thirty minutes later claiming to be done sleeping for the night.

Sunday morning baseball

Max pitched and mommy hit a home run all the way to the playground stairs- which was mostly exciting because we were able to find the ball.

Mini golf

After 18 holes Max was just too exhausted to take a picture

"I'm holding Kira!" 

Everyone likes to eat on mommy's lap

Look who is back- the ice cream man!

Sponge Bob!

After Max blinded Bob by eating his eyeballs, he was all done.

Hey mom, I have an idea...

...take a few thousand pictures of me!

Derby girl

All ready for the Kentucky derby!

Water pong with Ben

"When I get bigger, I can use a stick!" 

"Mommy she's laughing so much!" 

They love each other 

Two of us are walking off our frustration and anger and one of us is Kira.

Max had a great at-bat, but not his best game.  Half way through he lost interest in baseball and gained interest in a temper tantrum.

TGIF

Kira was all smiles at her six month check up, until her shots, that is. She slept off the pain in a marathon afternoon nap and was her old jolly self by dinner time.

She weighed in at 15 pounds 5 ounces, with the bow on, of course.  Her height is in the 77th percentile and her weight is in the 20th; a tall, slim beauty.

Max was all smiles this morning too.  He was more than excited about going to school with his backpack filled with baseball equipment (and a box of tissues).

Happy May! It's almost like Max!

"Look mommy, I'm not hitting her, I'm just  tapping her," 

We are all very impressed by the restraint.

Singer-songwriter

Max made up a new morning tune for his favorite bambino.  It goes a little something like this-

"Kia Belle, Kia Belle, KirAAA Belle....I don't want hair...I'm going to cut it..."  

Why the need for a mid-song haircut?  Because, "I want no hair like Kira".

Morning giggles

Bjorn fan 

Cannot get enough of this face!!!!!

Cleaning up her outside AND her inside...

Pedestrians

Now that the weather is warm, we are all loving our walks home from school and stops at neighborhood playgrounds.

Walking and sleeping 

Running and sleeping

Running and screaming 

Max found this gem at the playground.  A thorough hair washing quickly followed.

Max was excited about this "rainbow dinner", so much so that he could not pick just one color pepper.

"This is a 'w'". Max loves to find his favorite letter everywhere he can.

Perfect swing position for teething drool drainage 

Twins!  Even down to their closed-eye smiles.
