Sydney's "Trick" & Zoe Sleep-Eating

Below are the two newest videos of Sydney & Zoe. Sydney loves to make funny sounds when you bat at her lips with your hand. Zoe has a habit of falling asleep in her chair, and this most recent time she fell asleep while she was eating! It was really adorable.





Below is a picture of the Kirk Family Food Chain:

Sydney's Blessing Pictures

These are pictures of Sydney in her Blessing dress. We tried to get some pics of Zoe, but she fell asleep.

Grandma and Grandpa Kirk gave us the Blessing dresses for the girls. They are so beautiful, and really helped to make the day special.

Zoe's Giggle

Zoe's giggle is way too cute. Check it out:

Zo Zo's Bad Hair Day & Standing Sydney!

Here are some recent pics of the fearless duo: Zoe with "just-up-from-a-nap" hair & Sydney standing without our help!

Two teeth & almost crawling!

The girls are seven months old now! I can't believe it. Zoe has two bottom teeth, and Sydney is still toothless. They absolutely refuse to watch anything other than Sesame Street. Go figure. Zoe is almost crawling. Two days ago she began propping herself on her hands and knees and looking up, rather than smothering her face into the floor. Sydney can stand on her own if she has a piece of furniture to hold onto. Like I said, they are getting so big!

Zoe fell asleep early, but here are today's pictures of Sydney. Enjoy!

Six Months & One Tooth!

Watch out, Zoe bites! That's right. The little stinker has classic Kirk timing, and decided to get her first tooth during her Mommy's exam week.

Poor thing. This is something that even the Cookie Monster can't fix.

They are six months old and still stinky. Sydney is in love with Elmo, and Zoe adores the aforementioned Cookie Monster. Syd is still the wild child and enjoys parent-induced acrobatics. Zoester likes to drink water from Mommy's cups. The love of binkies is slowly fading, which makes me sad ... they are growing so fast.

I'll try to post pictures and video to the blog once this semester is over.

P.S. -- I'll do my best to super-macro a picture of the tooth, per the request of one crazy uncle. She might lick the camera lens, though.

Sydney Eats!

Daddy has been doing a good job introducing the girls to solid foods. They like to copy the "mmmm" sound we make when we feed them. They eat sweet potatoes, bananas, and tonight will get to try some carrots. Delicious!
Here's Sydney's latest:

More Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!!

5 months old!

Well, it's been another month. The girls are over 12 lbs now, and doing great! They are really excited about playing games and watching Sesame Street. They've been practicing eating solid foods with rice cereal, and today they had a little bit of sweet potatoes as well!

They are still as stinky and goofy as ever, as these pictures and video show. We certainly miss and love everyone!

Sydney loves to swim

Here is a recent pic of Baby B in the bathtub. She likes playing in the water so much that she screams when you take her out of the tub!

more 4 month pics!

four month olds!!!

Can you believe these stinkers are over 4 months old?!?!

They smile, coo, giggle, fart (a lot), cry (almost as much as they fart), play games, watch T.V., and read books ("In the great green room there was a telephone, and a red balloon ...).

Over the last month they have really started to be aware of each other, which is so much fun. It's good, too, because Mommy & Daddy are super busy with school and work. We did manage to go to my reunion weekend, though, which was so much fun! It was wonderful to see old friends and show off the twincesses.
