Before a Nap
The boys are really into their Nursery Rhyme books that Nana gave them at birth. Thanks to Forest we read them constantly.
Crib Climbing - a week
It’s now been five days since the boys realized they can climb in and out of their beds at will. We had one super great night, Wednesday, and a couple more difficult ones. Last night it again took them about an hour and a half to settle down and fall asleep. Not [...]
Peek-A-Boo
Crawling out of the Cribs day 3
Last night we put the boys to bed in their cribs but left the bars down and no sleep sacs. It took them about an hour to settle down as they roamed the room and pulled toys and books into each other’s beds. But they did finally settle but it was a bit [...]

Reading in Bed
The boys often like to play in their cribs. Today Forest did the sweetest thing. After crawling up into his crib by himself, he asked for a book, a particular book. I handed it to him. Then he layed down, put his blanket across his knees and started to look at the book. I had [...]
Always Going Forward
The other day I had a funny memory from the first few months of motherhood and nursing twins. Yes, it was just last year although it seems like a lifetime ago. While in the hospital after the boys were born, I asked for the lactation consultant to come by and make sure that we were [...]
