This morning after the girl's morning nap, I walked in their room to find Avery standing in her crib. Olivia was trying so hard to also stand up so Mommy gave her some help. In the afternoon we went to visit with Allison & Rowan. I think the girl's thought they were in a toy store with all of Rowan's toys. Rowan is 10 months old, and already he can sit up on his own and stand. I think Avery was watching him very closely because as soon as we came home the first thing she did was crawl to the couch and stand up. In a couple of weeks the girl's are starting the Kindergym program with Rowan. We can't wait!!

Over the past couple of weeks, Olivia has been pulling herself with her belly and feet along the floor to get to where she wants to go. Today our little princess crawled and pulled herself up onto her toy box. I guess she was tired of her sister always picking out the good toys and figured she better get to it! As everyone can see she's pretty proud of herself and so are we. Avery has been full out crawling now for a good 2 weeks. Pretty soon the walking will start.
This past week the two of them have become so independant, they have started to feed themselves, and they are on the move every chance they get. Keeping Mommy really busy.

MORE PICS FROM PITTSBURGH

TWINS FIRST ROAD TRIP!!!!

This weekend we took a road trip to Pittsburgh for the girl's cousin Logan's, baptism. We weren't sure what we were in for but as it turned out the girl's did really well. They fussed a little on the way up, and a little on the way back. But once we got there they had a great time. They got a chance to visit with all their American Aunt's, Uncle's, cousin's, and they spent some time with their Baba too.

The girl's had lots of fun playing with their cousin Ryan and Brianna, as well as the other children at Logan's party. It was great to see everyone, hope we see you all soon.

This video is very dark, but anyone who has had a bad day should listen to Olivia playing with daddy. She is laughing so hard that we can hardly control ourselves. Enjoy!! Click on image to view.

Today we spent the afternoon at Bronte Park visiting all the different farm animal's they have. The twin's liked watching daddy feed the goat's. They also saw some rabbit's, chicken's, a rooster and some white ducks.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY NICHOLAS!!!!!!!

On Sunday August 6th, our nephew/godson celebrated his first birthday. Nicholas was born 6 weeks premature at MacMaster Children's Hospital. He stayed in hospital for 2 weeks after he was born and was actually just down the hall from the girl's. Today Nicholas is a very healthy and happy little boy who like the girl's, just wanted to meet his mom & dad a little earlier than they expected. Olivia & Avery enjoyed spending the day outside in the backyard, getting a turn at the pinata, and trying some fresh apricots which they both now love.

Today was a very exciting day in the Barcic house. This morning while I was changing Olivia, Avery surprised me by sitting up in her crib all by herself!! I was so happy our camera was just in the next room to capture the moment. Grandma Schiller came over for a visit today and saw her sit up again by herself after her morning nap.

Lastnight we went to visit Uncle Mike & Auntie Jennifer, Jack & Noah at their new house. The girl's enjoyed playing with Jack & Noah's toy's. Olivia really liked playing with Dora & riding around on the truck. I think we might have to purchase one of those. Beautiful house guys!!!
OLIVIA , JACK & AVERY HANGING OUT

Tonight we decided to take the girl's over to the park. They enjoyed being outside, as well as the swings. Their favorite thing at the park was the big car. They didn't want to share the steering wheel at all. Both of them were pushing eachother out of the way so they could get a turn.

Now that both of the girl's are sitting up on their own, they can finally play with the big house that Uncle Frank got them for their birthday. They love pressing all the buttons and listening to the music and different sounds it makes.Thank's uncle Frank!!. Both girl's love music and have started to dance when they hear it. Sometimes I think they try to sing as well. Maybe we have two more musicians in the Barcic family.
Tonight was bath night, which is really just more playtime. The twins love to splash the water and play with their toys. Mommy & Daddy are usually soaked by the end.

Avery eating pizza for the first time. She loved it!!!

Tonight while we were having pizza, I thought I'd give Avery a little taste. She wouldn't let go of it. Even when I tried to take the small piece she had left, she yelled at me and pushed my hand away. She is too funny. Olivia would have had a taste as well but she was napping. She'll have to try some next time.

I thought these pictures were just adorable!! Olivia & Avery have become very fond of eachother lately. When we are out for a walk in their side by side stroller they now look at eachother and laugh, they also hold hands on occasion and play footsies with eachother. Their favorite thing to do is hold on to eachother and laugh or scream when they are on the floor. They are also talking to us every chance they get. So far their vocabulary consists of Ba, ba, mama and the occasional dada. They have the greatest personalities, very happy girl's. The girl's are almost crawling, I think a couple of more weeks and our lives will change again. Avery can now sit up on her own, Olivia still needs a bit of help but she's almost there. I can finally update everyone on the twin's weight Avery weighed in at 17lbs & Olivia 15lbs. They both have their two bottom teeth, so I'm sure the top one's are soon to arrive. All the more to bite us with!!

SILLY GIRLS!!
