One year

Yeah, it's been that long.

So the boys are one year old now. They are saying hi and waving and clapping. They aren't walking yet but very close to it. Their two favorite activities are climbing the stair and taking baths. Their 12 month well baby is tomorrow so hopefully I'll be back tomorrow to post about that. Ha ha who am I kidding. I really don't know how other MoMs find the time to raise their children, spend time with their spouses, get enough sleep, keep up with any of their hobbies AND bog on a regular basis.

Off to clean dishes and start prepping dinner.

Six months!

So the boys are six months old now.

Again, I'm obviously horrible about posting but o well.

Since last time a lot has changed. Both boys roll both from tummy to back and back to tummy. They both have good hand eye coordination and they started eating solids around their 5 month birthday. They have now had rice cereal, oatmeal, butternut squash and yams. They tried water in a sippy cup for the first time on Sunday and will be trying bananas on the 4th.

They had their 6 month well baby check up on the 28th and they are now 16lbs 4.5oz (M) and 16lbs 5oz. Dr. C is really happy with their progress and said that they are on the "big boys" chart now that they are in the 30-40 percentile with all their measurements.

A few weeks ago my mom and I drove the boys down to So Cal to meet some of the extended family members. It would have been great if my poor mom didn't have to sit between the boys on the drive. Oh well, it had to be done and I'm glad we did it since a good chunk of them are moving to Delaware soon.

I'm finally signed up for a quilting class so hopefully I'll actually get to use the awesome baby fabric from purl soho in NY one of these days. The class starts tomorrow so I better go gather my supplies. Looking at my track record I may actually post again in 4 months =P

Long time no post

So I obviously forgot about the whole blogging thing until now.

My boys (yes, we had boys) were born on November 28th, almost a whole month early but they were perfectly healthy. M was 6lbs 6oz, 19inches, W was 6lbs8oz and 18inches. The time has been flying by, they will be 3 months old this Saturday! Both boys started smiling for real about three weeks ago and we have heard a real laugh from each of them in the last week but only one each.

Finding time to eat and keeping up on household tasks has been very difficult but both my mom and mother-in-law have been helping out. My mom basically lived with us during the week from the time the boys were born till the end of January. It was so awesome of her and it helped us so much. She had to start back at work this week and is really sad about not getting to spend as much time with the boys. My mother-in-law has been coming by once a week to help out and it is amazing how much energy she has, the woman never stops! My house has probably not been this tidy in quite some time but it is still needing a serious vacuuming which I am about to go do since the DH is home with a cold and can be on pacifier duty. So that's all for now, nice and boring but at least I posted. Maybe I'll be as frequent and interesting as my favorite blogs one of these days. Matter of fact, if anyone reads this you should check out those other blogs (see the list on the right). I'm off the get some house work done on my "time off" from being a mom.
