11 months 2 weeks and 3 days later...

So here we are. The best two things in my life entered my life just a short 11 months 2 weeks and 3 days ago. If I had to pick a theme song it would be the song by Boys like Girls "Two is better than One." I know the song is about a couple, but minus a few things in the song, it fits me and my girls. Cause like the song says "I can't live without you" and "there's so much time to figure out the rest of my life, but I already figured out, 2 is better than one". I can't imagine having one without the other. And even though last August in the newborn hell of twins and colic and postpartum depression, I survived and they did too and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

This summer I thought I would blog more, but.. yeah, I wonder why. My life focuses around feeding and naps and playtime. And occasionally I have managed to snap a few pictures of my angels. I wish I could get videos on here... cause if you want to know what heaven sounds like, then I will tell you, it is the sounds coming out of my bay-bays mouths. They have the voices of angels (when they aren't crying)!

Anyway...here we are on a "date" again with my bud and her twins. I have a hard time getting them to sit still long enough to get a picture with them both in it. Notice I got the girls some shoes for their botanical gardens splashing fun- they have small feet. They wear 3-6 month size shoes (can't say much I did wear a 5.5-6 until I was pregnant).

Kristin did not want to get her picture taken, she was trying to get up and be gone!







OMG I love this picture! Kristin looks like such an innocent angel!



Kristin has figured out how to crawl in and out of the bumbo seat! Totally cracks herself up in it! They haven't sat in those seats in months, but I pulled it out to feed my niece and now Kristin plays in it.



Lara was pulling apart diapers. I said "Lara Anne" and then she looked at me like this... how could I be mad anymore? Angels... I tell you... Angels!



This was today... Lara sat there for at least 15 minutes "reading" that book. She turned the pages and "read" out loud! At the end she did "So Big" and I got the picture!

So goals:

11 lbs lost... wish it was more. I guess I didn't gain overnight, wish it went away overnight!

Still have pacis as you can see from the pictures- haven't even tried to take them yet.

New fun "tricks":

1. Girls give me "high 5"
2. They say "ah" after chugging off of their sippy cups
3. Kristin constantly practices walking.. she will be walking...soon..probably before I get another post up! LOL
4. Lara will give you a kiss (with a little tongue...yuck) and does a "muah" sound!
5. They also take their hand and go over their mouth and do "ah ah ah" (which is not a PC term) but like I did when I was little playing 'Indian'.

What cute stuff! Katie still sometimes says "ahhh" after taking a drink (I taught her well!) :)

You're doing way better than me, and I only have one! I never seem to find time to snap a few picks. Kate is saying "Oooohhhhhh" and puckers her mouth into the perfect "O." So cute. can't seem to find time to take a pic. Ahhhh. Owell.
