4 months and growing!

Our babies are growing so fast; it is hard to believe they are over 4 months old now! It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing them home from the NICU. They both have their own personalities, and they are definitely complete opposites. Eva Marie is stubborn at times because she wants to be held all the time, but when I go to wake her up in the morning; she will give me the biggest smile...and my heart just melts. We think she has a little bit of colic at night, but really for the most part, she is a happy baby! She has rolled over 3 times now. After about 10 minutes, she is frustrated being on her stomach. I think she sometimes forgets that all she has to do in order to get off her stomach is roll over! She plays with toys, and she watches Jerry and I like hawks if we leave the room for a split second...she will scream! She is precious, and we love her so much!
Ella Kate can be stubborn at times too, but for different reasons than Eva Marie. Ella Kate, who I thought was going to be my calm, relaxed baby, is most likely going to be my active one. But like Eva Marie, she gives me that big grin in the morning, and my heart melts. Ella Kate likes to be held, but she would rather be up and doing something! I think if she was able to walk; she would run all over the house. If she is in our laps, she is constantly trying to sit up or move around. She loves to play on the floor; just kicking and talking! She will lay on her blanket and babble for an hour. I love baby talk; it's so adorable. She has not rolled over yet, but she is well on her way. I think she might actually roll from her back to stomach first. She will get on her side, and she can just about roll to her stomach. Ella Kate is precious too, and we love her so much!
Below are some pictures that I have taken over the past 2 weeks. The pictures of them in their lime green chair are pictures I took about a week ago. I took these pictures to put in 2 distressed frames that my sister and mom gave me for Christmas. I can't wait to get them put up in their room!
