First Time in the Lake

We enjoyed our time at the lake last weekend. Emma enjoyed the grass, while Claire was trying to figure out what was tickling her feet!

Grandma Kennefick bought us innertubes to help us float in the lake...or to get cute pictures.



We had a lot of fun splashing in the water. Mom and Dad hope that we are water babies!



Family Self Portrait

We love being outside - we enjoy viewing the world from our Baby Bjorns. Here is a self portrait before a walk around the neighborhood. Claire was so kind to make sure Emma's hat looks good for the camera!

The Fun is Just Get Beginning!

Every week something new happens in the Kennefick family. Mom and Dad are afraid that we will be moving on our own soon and then their world will certainly change. Both of us rolled over this week. Emma was caught by surprise when it happened while Claire has been working on it for weeks.

Emma's new favorite thing is her tongue and she likes to show everyone!








She is also getting very strong and can sit on her own for a short bit.





Claire decided that she would rather sleep on her tummy than her back. She caught Lorilyn (our wonderful nanny) by surprise during nap time!



Claire decided to roll over the hard way - going from back to tummy. She uses her crib to get some momentum.



We are still having a lot of fun together.


We're getting strong enough to play in our exersaucer.

Playing with the Nanny

We are getting very strong and Mom and Dad think we will be sitting up soon. Our bouncy chairs are starting to get frustrating because we can't sit up in them. We get to play on our tummies with our nanny a lot. Our nanny is great - we are very lucky to have her with us all day. She knows what she is doing since she had two sets of twins herself!


Father's Day Weekend

We had a nice Father's Day weekend. The weather finally cooperated with us and on Saturday we went on our first boat ride. At first we weren't too excited about the life jackets, but we soon learned to think of them as a body pillow. We slept the entire time so we missed our first boating experience!


We celebrated Dad's first Father's Day at Canterbury Park. We were able to celebrate the day with Great Grandpa Kennefick, Grandpa Kennefick and Grandpa Peterson!

Here is a picture of us with Dad at the track. Emma is upset because her horse didn't win the race she bet on.

Emma took Father's Day very seriously...while Claire thought the day was all about her.

5 Months Old!

We turned 5 months old on June 12th. Our parents think we are a lot of fun right now. We like to be entertained at all times. We grab on to toys and everything goes into our mouths. We also have realized that we have voices we can use at really loud levels!

We have also noticed that we have each other. When we are near each other, we reach for each other's hands. We talk to each other, laugh at each other, and when one of us cries, the other starts crying as well.

We sleep pretty good at night. Our bed time is normally around 8 and we sleep until about 5:30. Then we have an early morning snack and go right back to bed.

Here are some pictures in the last month.

Four Months Old!

We were 4 months old on May 12th. We had our check-up at our doctor and we have definitely been growing! Claire was 12lbs 1 oz, 23 1/2 inches and Emma was 12lbs 11oz, 24 inches. All this growing must require lots of sleep because we almost sleep through the nigth. We don't want our parents to have it too easy so we wake between 4:30-5:00am each morning for an early breakfast before going back to sleep.


Here we are at 4 months having fun with Mom and Dad!



The doctor thinks we are ready for solids, but we aren't so sure about it! But it sure is fun to make a mess!

We celebrated Mom's first Mother's Day!


We love bath time!

We are growing up fast!

We would rather feed ourselves than have Mom and Dad help.
