I couldn't resist taking some pics of the boys this week. I got in their face like the paparazzi... they eventually got annoyed!!

Alex will crawl like any minute now, Jackson has four teeth. It is crazy how much they are growing up, and SOOOO fast too!! Every day is an adventure.

We are off to Vegas for a few weeks. I will try to update again while I am there.

Love to you all!!

HOPPY EASTER!!!

I am just the laziest person on the planet because I haven't updated the blog since Febuary. I can give you a MILLION different reasons why I couldn't but lets just say I'm too busy. Seriously. Busy.

Jackson, Alex, Jason and I have had a stomach virus and it has been Vomitfest 2010 over here. The stomach flu is a NASTY creature that has to inhabit your house and take down everyone in it. The beast!!!

Here is the "Official" easter pic. I will post again soon when the quarantine has lifted off of our lives. Let's hope next Easter this virus will pass our house and the Easter Bunny brings us candy instead!!

SUPERBOWL!!!

Hi Everyone,

It has been so long since I have posted a new blog. So much has changed with the boys since Christmas. They can now sit up (assisted), feed themselves their bottles (HUGE help) and they can roll over. Life is getting predictable now as they are on great nap schedules. They are also eating real food now!

Well, real food consists of various puree's so I guess it is real food for babies and adults with no teeth....

They also "talk" all the time now. They do say "mom" and "mama" now but it is usually in the middle of crying. They know I am a big softy and can't resist them when they say that. When they "talk" it is more like babbling, and they also squeal when they like something. They laugh all the time. Jackson laughs at the word "Piggy" and when we play peek a boo. He also finds his winnie the pooh bear funny when pooh "jumps" on his lap (I of course do this to him). Alex loves to play "Where's Alex- There he is!", peek a boo, and loves to have his tummy tickled. They both love their jumperoo's and bounce in them during the day.

They LOVE to pull mommy's hair, which accounts for the massive amount of hairballs around our house, and for the bald spots in my head (haha). They pull it and DO NOT let go. I have to disentangle myself from their vice grip. The boys both love it when Dad tickles their tummy and when he sings "ABC" to them.

All in all, things are great here, and we are looking forward to visits from family soon.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Here are the pics of the babies first Christmas!!! They had so much fun looking at all of their presents and are changing so much every day.

We have been having a great time with Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Jack. Aunt Joanna and Mark got to celebrate Christmas with us before they left for Philadelphia- we had dinner on December 13th with them and dressed the boys up in their Santa suits.

I am going to post pics and not say too much, since there are SO many pics to post it will take up the whole page!!!

EEEK!

Yes, Yes, I know. You haven't seen a blog post from us in awhile. Being a mother of twins has taken up a lot of free time. I barely have time to shower.

We are all having a great time. The holidays are coming up and we have been so fortunate to have family and friends come and visit the boys. Their first thanksgiving was pretty uneventful since they continued to have their yummy meal of formula and couldn't enjoy the turkey! They did sit at the table with us for a little while though.

They are growing up so fast. They smile, laugh, and even "talk" to us now. They love to play in their jumperoo and their little chairs (they practice sitting up). They still love their gym class and have made friends their. Alex is a flirt and loves this little 6 month old girl named Makenzie. She is adorable, and he talks to her and laughs at her the whole time. Jackson has his eye on a little 6 week old named Bella. So clearly Alex likes the "cougars" and Jackson likes them young!

We can't wait for Christmas!

Here are some pics of Thanksgiving and our visitors. We love having them and hope to see more people soon!

So Handsome!

Here are some pics for the start of the week. Hope everyone is doing well!

P.S. Alex is teething. This was confirmed by the pediatric dentist that goes to the mommy and me class with me. He's pretty miserable, but in the next couple of weeks he should have some pearly whites (his 2 bottom teeth)

Happy Halloween and 3 months!!

Hey Everyone,

It has been a long time since I have updated the blog and I have to apologize. It has been a little crazy since all the help left, and I have rare opportunities where I can do something for myself. Usually that time involves sleep, or eating, or any other basic necessity that I can't do when I have 2 babies hanging off of me.

The boys are doing great. They have settled into a great nap schedule, and only need 1 overnight feeding. They are sleeping for 6 hour stretches at night without needing to be fed. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!

This year for Halloween, we stayed at home, and put costumes on the babies. Now, we had to do this fast because you all know how much kids love scratchy polyester costumes. Needless to day we slapped those costumes on, took a few pics, and then ended the torture.

Our theme was "Take me out to the Ballgame". I found a hotdog and peanut costume that would fit infants and went with that. This was after hours of searching the internet, and a run in with backordered costumes....fun fun. No wonder holidays are so much more fun for kids.

It was a fun Halloween, even though we only got like 15 trick or treaters. It is unfortunate, since I practically bought the entire candy aisle at Albertsons. I may begin to regain my pregnancy weight since we have so much left over.

Here are some recent new developments-

- Alex loves to look at the fish mobile above the swing, He talks to them.

-Jackson loves to stick his tongue out at you and wants you to do it back to him. He then laughs and laughs.

-They both have begun to suck their thumbs, when it stays in their mouths. Their hand eye coordination still needs work.

-They love being read to and I do it all the time. Of course the funnier the voice the better the reaction. If a stranger were to hear me, they would think I was a freak.

- They now love their baths. They both splash and kick all the time. Mom leaves the bathroom soaked. I may invest in a wetsuit soon.

- They have begun to move like they are rolling over. This should happen VERY soon. Then it is game on- LOG ROLL through the house!

I am posting a few pics now of everything that has gone on in the last few days....I will try to be better about updating. :)
