11 Months Old

Today G2 and G3 are 11 months old. This year has just flown by. Every month it is unbelievable to my how big they are getting. G2 is able to stand on her own-for just a few seconds at a time. But it's great. She's very timid and doesn't really try it much-but she can do it! G3 still hasn't tried, but I'm sure she could too. Both can say a few words each. One of their newest words is "Rub". They say "Rub, rub, rub". My mom taught G1 to say "Rub, rub, rub" when he would hit someone-so then he will rub instead of hit. Well, it has 'rubbed' off on the girls a little.

We have found a house that we will be buying on contract. It is a pretty big house and needs a lot of work, but I love it. The garage is pretty nice and it's big so of course Matt loves that. It's got a nice big yard for the kids to play in. I'm pretty excited about this, but I'm nervous too. We will be moving out of Iowa sometime around the New Year probably. I'm glad it's not too far of a drive (about an hour) so we can still come back fairly often to see our friends and family that will still be here.

We've been pretty busy, but not much new is going on-other than the house. So, I guess it is picture time. :-)

G2 and G3--"I've got your face!"

G3 (she wasn't really in the mood to get her picture taken)

G2 and G3--Best Friends

G2 and G3-I think G3 was wondering what G2 was going to do with the shoes!

G1 got jealous and wanted his picture taken.

*ETA-I forgot to say--Matt got bit Tuesday night by his parents dog. It's not bad at all. The dog just got 2 of his fingers. I was going to get pictures of it today to post, but we ran out of time. Matt was calm as could be when it happened but it sure scared me!
