1st year

Weekends

We’ve had some neat weekends with the boys recently. Proving just how “back to the real world” we are getting as they approach a year old. Oh sure we have to be really aware of times and such but it’s getting easier and easier to do the things that us adults enjoy. [...]


you take the good, you take the bad

Forest took two independent steps last night!
I’m constantly testing their knowledge of words and learned the cutest thing the other day. If I ask Forest where “Elmo” is, despite the fact that there are three Elmo’s in our house he goes right to the one dressed like a chicken that Grandmother Karen [...]


Santa

Today we took the boys to sit on Santa’s lap for pictures. Normally I DESPISE the holidays coming early and Santa before Thanksgiving is just sacrilege. However with two little ones it suddenly took on a whole lot of “make sense” when I witnessed no line yesterday. So we went back today [...]


11 month pictures

Yesterday was a lot of fun as the boys had their first exposure to skate boarding. We start ‘em young ’round here. I probably won’t have a lot of time to post in the coming weeks with so much going on. I’m off to Earthsprings this weekend for some more work [...]


never far behind

Forest has been taking steps to us over the past few days. See, it just takes one twin to do something and then the other one is instantly there.
I need to rethink our entire “baby proofing” because Logan can now climb into our living room chairs. Forest can with a little [...]


11 Months Old

Today “the twins” turn 11 months old. It’s so odd to look back at the pictures and realize just how much has changed in such a very short time. In the midst of 12 weeks old I was so unable to imagine this moment, but as any parent will tell you, time goes [...]


I’m calling it!

Logan is officially walking. After a couple weeks of taking 3 or 4 steps here and there he is now purposefully walking away from the furniture and walls and taking 6-7 steps out into the empty space to pick up toys, chase cats, etc. He’s still loosing his balance a lot but he [...]


baby steps for Logan

Yesterday Logan started walking away from the walls and furniture and just standing in the middle of the floor. He stands there with strong balance and it’s obvious that he wants to walk but he’s unsure of exactly what to do to make it happen. He waves his hands excitedly in the air [...]


Developmental Update - tantrums have arrived

The boys have so much going on right now that I realized I’ve neglected to go into it all. But it’s just such a cool age it’s hard to even keep up. And I mean that literally!
They get into everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. They open everything, close everything, pull everything out [...]


First Halloween

Here are a couple teaser pictures from last night’s first Halloween. We dressed the boys up and took them out for their nightly walk, stopping at three houses to “trick or treat”. The boys were good sports about costumes and meeting a couple new people. But for the most part they just [...]
