Christening, Crawling and Pictures and More Pictures!

It has been a busy, busy couple of weeks for us here at the Novilla household! So much to post about so hopefully I don't lose you (or bore you) with all the mundane goings on in our lives!!

First, the Girls were Christened on 11-22-09 at St. Mary's Catholic Church. It was so wonderful to be surrounded by so many friends and family for such a special occasion! The girls were beautiful in their HOMEMADE gowns, made especially for them by our dear friend Melanee and her mom!! Melanee and I met through the internet amazing enough, when we were both trying to get pregnant. We love to joke that I got her pregnant! She lives in Utah and couldn't make it down for the Christening but she was there in spirit! Long story short, Melanee, her husband Chris and Melanee's mom are like a new, extended family for us and we have shared many significant events over the last year together...most importantly was the birth of her twin daughters exactly one month before my twin daughters. We love you all so much and thank you so much for making the girls their gowns for us and sending them all the way from Utah! They were perfect!! It was also wonderful to see so many family members and for our girls to finally meet many of them! Here are some (ok a lot) of the pictures taken from that day!!


Ok, guess who's crawling!?!?!? KAYLA!!! I can't believe this little munchkin is doing so well after the rough start she had!! She is really starting to move now and we can't just simply plop her down and wander around anymore! She is also pulling herself up to standing and transitioning from crawling to sitting back upright!! I think she will try walking as soon as her little feet figure out how to stay flat and not curve in! Kamryn isn't picking up on the crawling thing just yet, she'd rather just sit there and have us bring her stuff...but she's quickly figuring out that Kayla can disappear with her favorite toy so she's not liking that too much! She's starting to try and get down on her knees and rock so it won't be long before she's on her way too!!

And believe it or not, the girls are STILL TEETHING!! I know that this is a long process...but they both already have six teeth broken through and we just saw about four more starting to bulge!! They are going to have full mouths of teeth before they are a year old!!

Oh and here are some more pictures from their Christmas shoot with Jaycee! I just love these! If you need a great photographer in Houston, give her a call! http://www.picsbyjaycee.com
