toothbrush and toothpaste
Now that Logan has two bottom teeth and Forest will some day soon, we have introduced brushing teeth and gums into the daily schedule. I haven’t gotten it down to a regular thing yet and definitely not twice a day yet but I’m trying. The boys LOVE it! They both sit really […]
laughter in the best medicine
Lunch today ruled… Logan leaned way forward in his highchair to peak at Forest and when Forest met his eyes, Forest started giggling hysterically. So Logan and Forest went back and forth laughing at each other for like 15 minutes and of course I joined in and all three of us were just laughing […]
Not a Homemaker, but I can Cook!
I have a feeling that there has been much discussion over the years about this initial topic but I’m just now understanding it from experience. I dislike checking the box “homemaker” because I don’t think I am one. It feels very out dated and 1950’s to me. I am no “domestic goddess”, […]
The New Bed and Sleeping like a Baby
Several things added up to horrible back pain for me over the last year. Most were/are baby related but another big piece was Brad’s “firm” mattress. As much as I like going to the chiropractor, it shouldn’t be a monthly thing for upkeep. Even my chiropractor told me that! So we […]
The Family Band…and other great pictures
Logan and Forest are already expressing musical talents. They can play the drum, the bells, the rattle, and the flute. And here are some pictures of our jam session this morning amongst the beautiful colors of our bedroom in the morning. The light reflects off our red coverlet and makes the whole […]
Changing Speeds
It was the end of September last year when I quit working. I wasn’t particularly happy in my job so leaving early to accommodate the twin pregnancy was not difficult for me. I really enjoyed the pregnancy, in many ways because I was able to nap twice a day and get a lot […]
coincidence or intelligence?
Yesterday and today I moved the boys naps by 10 minutes and they are sleeping really well again. I had been putting them down about 15 minutes before the hour when they started to get fussy because the “experts” say to put them down as soon as they start to act tired. Yeah […]
Hiccups and Spitting Up
Forest has had horrible hiccups since he was in the womb. He’d get them several times a day and continues that now with whole days of horrible shakes. I feel so bad for him on those days as he even drifts into naps with them. They have gotten fewer and less often […]
Naps and Sleep Changes at 9 Months
I haven’t been able to post in awhile because the boys’ naps are all over the place. Between returning from Vegas, getting colds with lots of snotty noses, Forest trying to learn how to move around and get comfortable on his own, and just in general 9 month old wanting to play instead of […]
Empathy?
Logan and Forest interact more and more each day. At about four months they seemed to realize that the other existed and was always with them. Recently I’ve seen some things to make me wonder if they are expressing empathy for each other. Logan was having a “melt down” one afternoon and […]
