New toys

The girls are loving all of the new toys they got for their birthday! Their favorites are the ride-on horse and the play kitchen...They must watch mommy doing dishes all day because they stand at the play sink forever washing dishes just like I do! Isabella LOVES to ride the horse all over the place, and if sister gets in her way she better watch out! Isabella will try to run her over, push her out of the way, or as you can see here even pull her hair! Yikes! Watch out Sophie - Isabella is a maniac on that thing :)



They love the outside baby gym we got them, it came with balls and lots of squeaky things so they can be safe, outside, and have fun playing all at the same time! So nice for mommy to have a safe place to keep them outside where they aren't in harms way, with all of the construction we have nails and power tools everywhere...
Sophia loves to put this little plastic circle that came with the play kitchen on her nose and crawl all over the place with it! She looks so goofy and gets lots of laughs so she will crawl up and show everyone what she has on her nose :)
The girls have made it through their first year without watching any TV! It was important to us that they weren't exposed to television for the first 12 months, but now that we have a long plane trip in our future (to molokai in June) we figured we better get them used to watching a little bit so they can watch on the plane. Well, here they are watching their first baby einstein video - it kept their attention for a total of maybe 5 minutes so our plan of occupying them with tv is out the window!
