"Not Me" Monday...

There is no way that after I feed the twins their food, that I leave the spilled food on the floor for them to ahem snack on later. Nope, not me!

Back to School 09...

Third Grade

JP first day of 3rd grade. He got the teacher he had prayed for, Mrs. V. He is spending another year learning in an eMints classroom, where he does majority of his work on a computer.

Handsome boy.

AJ's first day of the 4's year of Preschool. She has her second year of preschool with Mrs. S, who she loves. She is the oldest in the class and doesn't quite understand why I can't just "call Kindergarten up and see if they can squeeze me in?"

Little Guy we are so proud of you! You started sleeping through the night this month! Yay! The week of August 17th you began sleeping through the night in your own room! You also began standing on your own immediately followed by taking first steps. You stood by yourself for the first time on August 23. Then just a few days later on the 30th you took your first step at Grandma's house. You also had your very first sickness, on the 3rd you had your first ear infection. You were fabulous when it came to taking your medicine.

Big Guy you are still the snuggler. You are still sleeping in mommy and daddy's room in the pack n play. You still wake a few times in the night to nurse. You will get the sleeping through the night thing soon enough. On the 22nd of August you started saying "aah" and "hi". On the 28th you took your first step at Grandma's house. Starting the first week of September, those first steps exploded into lots of steps! We are so excited for you new adventures.

Why the break?

Good question.

Obviously our hands are full at the babydolls and soccer balls house. Clearly that is just stating the obvious, or maybe not so obvious if you are not a Mom of Multiples.

Really I think the break was because of my desire to just keep my babies at 8 months old. The 9 month mark was a hard one and putting it in blog form just made it all the more REAL.

So while in my heart and my head the babies are still 8 months old, in reality they have celebrated many milestones. First steps, first teeth, first birthdays, second Christmas, first time sledding, first words, etc. It has been a wonderful 7 months!

Seven months?!

Seriously how does the time go so fast?

I will be playing catch up for a few posts just to document some of the big moments in the babies lives, and then we will resume with some regularly schedule programming.

Get ready....

It is about time I....

Dust off the ole blog!

MONTH 8...

Eight Months

Little Guy on the left...Big Guy on the right.

June was an exciting month for our family. JP went to kamp for a week, then we picked him up and headed to Family Kamp for a week.

The twins enjoyed the child watch at kamp while mommy and daddy got to spend quality time with the big kids.

LITTLE

GUY

At Kamp they nicknamed you "The Curious One", which is so fitting. You are an adventurer. You act before you think. You are a true monkey and this month you have been putting your climbing skills to the test. You can climb out of your stroller, so I have been on the lookout for a fivepoint harness double stroller. You also managed to knock over the baby gate at your doorway. You are a strong little guy! At kamp you fell in love with the pool. The water was warm and you loved crawling through it. On the 7th you waved bye bye just after we dropped JP off at kamp. On the 20th you started pulling up and standing on things. On the 24th you started shaking your head NO-NO. It is too stinking cute. You have been enjoying more foods for dinner including squash, sweet taters, carrots, beans, peas, and bananas. We are just starting the fruits, but you definitely love them more than veggies. You are sleeping in the play yard in my room with your brother. You sleep on the left, but tend to wake up on the opposite side frequently. You go to bed about 10pm and you wake at about 2am, 4am ,and 6am. On your 8 month birthday I finally packed up the 0-3 month clothes. You just started wearing 3-6 month. You also just finished using all the size 1 diapers so we are moving on to size 2. Since kamp you became a mommy's boy. You love your snuggle time with momma.

Little Guy...ole blue eyes

BIG

GUY

At kamp they nicknamed you "The Cuddler" which was so fitting. You are a great snuggler. You love to be held on a chest and watch tv with your head snuggled under a chin. You study things before you try them. You are a little professor. You started crawling forward on June 5-6. From there you have become extremely FAST! While you are sitting you have been daringly trying to rock back and forth. It gives you great joy to rock, until that occasion that you lose control and fall backward. You enjoy sitting in your stroller and have yet to try to climb out. At kamp you finally enjoyed swimming in the super warm shallow water. You loved crawling through it. Around the 18th you became very vocal. We laugh because it was around pirate night at kamp that you started talking...Your first sounds were ARGH! On the 2oth you started pulling up and standing on things. You have incredible balance compared to Little Guy, probably because you take your time. You keep crawling into the kitchen and when we say we are going to get you you speedily crawl away with a shriek. I love it! You sleep in the play yard in my room with your brother. You sleep on the right and like to pull the blankie onto your face. I just packed up your 0-3 month clothes on your 8 month birthday and you just finished using all the size 1 diapers. You have been enjoying eating dinners of squash, sweet taters, carrots, beans, peas, and bananas. You really don't care for peas and carrots bother you, but you LOVE your bananas.
