A Picture Post - The babies from birth to 6 months

A 2010 review of the babies - from birth to 6 months old. I simply cannot believe how much they have grown and changed. And I simply cannot believe how many pictures I have of them (these are probably only .1% of the pictures I have taken). One major goal of 2011 is to finally get them organized in their photo album. I have purchased probably about 1,000 pictures off of snapfish, but when it comes to putting them in some semblance of order - well, I haven't gotten there yet. Luckily, I have a dear friend who must have read my mind about my New Year's resolution and sent me a beautiful album for Christmas (Thanks, J!). So I will get it done SOON. Until then, here are just a few of the highlights of 2010 from June 3rd to almost present!

** and of course, some of these got out of order when I went to add more - yeah for blogger. Or maybe it's me and my computer skills. Either way - frustrated.***

Mommy & Daddy with Ryan (Quinn had already been transported to the NICU)



My sweet Q's feet with lots of tubes :( (She looked a little frigtening the first night with so many tubes and wires, but by the next day, most of that equipment was gone (save for a few monitors) and she just looked like a perfect baby, just a tiny one!)



Gig 'Em, Ags! (Ryan)

Quinn @ 1 day old - she was so bundled up!

Oh, that bow. Poor child has had a bow stuck to her head since she was born.

Being goofy at 4 months.

Pretty girl.

Handsome boy - he is starting to lose that "baby look" at the ripe age of 4 months - yikes!!!

Ryan and Quinn are 5 months old - and they love each other!
