18 months old!

Wow. We've survived 18 months as parents of twins. It's hard to believe our twin parenting journey started just over two years ago, when the first ultrasound.

Chad joined us at C&C's doctor appointment today. It is so nice to have him there with us.

Here are their stats:

Chloe:

31 inches tall, 31%
22 lb 8 oz, 24%

Connor:

33 inches tall, 71%
24 lb 7oz, 30%

I'm surprised that Connor is two pounds heavier than Chloe. Miss C is so much more compact and has the baby booty to flaunt. Oh well! Glad to have healthy babies. Other than teething and a mild cold, we've been healthy for the most part. Chloe cut her first molar, with three more working their way out. Connor has not cut a molar yet, but it's not that easy to check his gums. Hopefully soon!

no little piggies.

He's marching right out of the picture......

two little piggies.

Meet Vito.

All he needs is a handful of gold neck chains and some chest hair! On a serious not, by this time tomorrow, Connor will no longer have his cast (yeah!). Don't worry, the camera will be used and I'll share pictures.

New forms of childproofing.

Connor, showing the new "lock". He put the hat on all by himself...silly boy.

Connor and Chloe are now able to open the bi-fold doors throughout the house. Last week, they got into the furnace room in the basement and were messing with the window screens....So, I used some temporary measured to keep the doors closed that actually work pretty well. I do need to find some actually door latches, but this will do until they figure out how to open them up! And, Connor has figured out how to open the oven...so the chip clip works for now. Yes, we tried to set the oven lock, but the stinker knows how to close it. And, you can already see we've had to remove the oven knobs (that happened right after we moved). We have a gas stove, so we really don't need them messing around and fixing things, do we?

Enjoying the warmer weather!

Today we are experiencing record (or near record) high temperatures. We took advantage of it by bundling up and heading into the fenced back yard. It was quite windy, so we were not able to fully enjoy the 50 degree plus weather. The top photos start with us heading outside, some swing time, and after the wet clothes were stripped off to warm up!

Joining other moms.

I recently decided to join a local moms group. I finally received info on who to contact and have been to two activities this week. And, C&C seem to enjoy getting out and have fallen asleep in the car on the way home! It's been nice for me to get out, also. I look forward to getting to know other moms and learning to coral C&C~!
Connor has his cast for one more week....this time next week he'll be getting used to life without the cast.
Our bi-fold closet doors are now accessible to short people....I've made the double doors somewhat child proofed with hair bands, but not sure how long that will work! I think I'll need to buy some plastic safety devices that slide at the top of each door.....now I just need to count up what I need so I'm ready when I am able to purchase them!
Ok....need to get something done before naptime is over. Don't want to spend my entire time on the computer!

monkey see, monkey do.

Sometimes, you just don't know what you are walking into.......

Connor and Chloe were quietly playing in Connor's room. They were too quiet, so I knew I had to check on them.....the crib, which is usually against the wall to the far right, was moved as it is now.



Chloe looks quite proud of herself, no? Look how she's riding the horse. Oh, it's not a horse?

No, it's not. It's a Fisher-Price ball drop zoo toy thingy....but she's sure riding it like a horse.
And she looks mightly proud of herself.....what is she trying to grab? It must be something good, no?


She's almost there.....and, do you like Connor and his flesh colored pants? Little man did not want his pants on after a diaper change. Look at the second picture, top left, to see the object of their desire. We've been using this only for naps and nighttime......
