Birthday Eve

I cannot believe my babies will be one tomorrow. Last year this time I was freaking out because I was having 2 babies and I wasn't sure what to do with them. I think we did a pretty good job of figuring things out!

They are amazing and each a wonderful (but different) addition to our family. I look forward to the all the wonderful things they will bring to our life...

Check back soon for our weekend birthday fun!!

Rub-a-dub-dub

Check out these cuties in the tub!

They love bath time and you should have seen their excitement when they realized they could splash each other! This is a new adventure at our house, but one that seems to be going quite well!

11 months

A little late, daddy's birthday took precedence over the 11 month post. We took the pictures almost on time, it is the posting that I really procrastinated on. We are down to the final 1 year count down...I can't believe it! Last year this time, was giant and miserable. We'll scroll down memory lane before the big day!

The girls are so busy! We are still holding steady at 4 teeth (2 each) although Molly has one that is really close. They are loving people food especially pizza and gold fish! No walking yet, but I'm sure it will be soon, I can't wait!! They walk behind things and do a lot of standing (not holding on to anything) on their own.

Here the cuties are...Addy likes to get an up close picture to show off those blue eyes!

So sweet Molly, and her blue eyes too!I can't wait until next month ; )

Daddy is 30!

Ken celebrated his 30th birthday this week...in Chicago, for work : (

So we celebrated all weekend! Yesterday we went and rode trains with my parents (I forgot my camera!) and today we had a small cook-out with both of our parents. For the past month, I felt like I should be doing so much more for him, but the thought never turned into any more than that. We have so much going on right now! More later on that...We had a great time tonight, Nana even made him a hat cake!

He doesn't love the idea of being in his thirties, but he sure has accomplished a lot at his young age!!

We love you daddy!!

Double Trouble

I wonder if they are as tired as I am!!

10 months!

This is a very busy time of year for me. Besides the craziness of my everyday life, we are preparing to go back to school. As you can imagine, it is very difficult to get my classroom ready! The girls go wild pulling things off the bookshelves . That was the only day they have experienced getting out of the stroller! Since then, I have been trying to go by myself after baths are over and bed is around the corner!!



The kids have been back to Cathy's twice in the last week so I could attend a class and a meeting. She can't believe how they've changed over the summer. They are turning into real wild little people!


Addy has stopped falling on her head : ) Molly is pulling herself up but she never did the falling on her head. She was way more cautious about it (like her brother). I tell people I am afraid that Addy is going to be our first trip to the ER. She currently has 3 quite visible bruises on her head/face. I wonder what people think when they see her!


I am loving the changes. They are eating more table food, working the sippy cups, trying to talk, and always looking for mommy : 0

ADDY

MOLLYI can't believe it is time again for school. I'm never ready to back, but I guess I'll just jump in with both feet!!

9 Months!

Every month I think back to how far we've come. The girls are doing so much more than they were last month!! I feel as if we've regressed a bit though. I spend most of my day following them around making sure they don't get into something they shouldn't. They are pulling themselves up on everything (especially Addy) and there have been may times where they just fall back on their heads. So when I'm not following them, I'm sitting behind them ready to catch whoever falls. I so don't remember this with Connor. It is frustrating...going to the bathroom is a challenge. Any suggestions?!?

So I ran into this woman tonight at CVS (I had all 3 kids with me), here is our conversation:

stranger: twins?!

me: yep
stranger: I have twins too, they are 3.

me: Oh good, I'll get there some day.

stranger: yeah, it doesn't get any easier. There is always something.

me: I look forward to them being his age (patting compliant Connor on the head), I love this age.

stranger: they have a big brother too.

me: he is a great help, I wouldn't trade him for anything.

I thought it was an odd conversation. I think in most respects it is easier already.

Ok enough griping, here are the cuties! We go to the dr. next week, so no stats yet.

Addy

There she goes!

Addy doesn't sit still. She is a monkey and tries to climb on anyone/anything. She is going to be my dare devil. She makes changing her diapers, bath, and getting her dressed miserable. She is constantly trying to crawl away, she is now crawling correctly! No teeth yet, but they have got to be close.

Molly

Molly has developed this little thing where she randomly throws up. We've been to the dr., they aren't worried. I am always on guard waiting for it! Needless to say, we hate to leave the house for meals! She has two teeth and has mastered clapping and waving. It is so cute! She loves to sing!

Sorry for the blabbering tonight. I know they are beautiful and sweet and so much more. I know how lucky I truly am!
