Twins
Trade
Lately there has been a lot of “stealing” going on between the boys. Logan always seems to want whatever Forest has, and Forest has no problem taking something back that Logan had just taken from him. In an effort to make things more civil, I’ve tried to make a game out of it [...]
wagons
We recently were told by Grandma Warren that the boys needed a wagon. Since they were trying to crawl into the small ones made for hauling rocks and sticks around the yard which lead to disastrous falls, we couldn’t agree more. Last year we attended a street festival downtown and saw a family [...]
speaking of
Yesterday I told Forest to “go play with his toys.” He started walking towards the cloth bins under the entertainment center where we keep their toys. Then I added, “stack your blocks.” He went immediately to the bin with the blocks, dumped them out and started stacking. The boy may not [...]
New Experience - Only One Baby?!
This weekend I had a new experience with the boys. I got to spend 24 hours with just one at a time. Dusty and Brad have done this several times in the past six months over weekends when I’ve gone out of town, but this was my first time. Dusty came and [...]
Such a cool age
Things that our twins do that excite me with joy because it means they are learning about their environment:
Forest loves to close doors. If you say, “close the door”, he rushes over to do it.
Logan loves to tickle and says it so cute. Thanks to “Are You Ticklish”, a fantastic buy at Costco [...]
Book Rotation
The guys now have three books in their “favorite” rotation. All three must be kept on a very high shelf to prevent damage and protect them from teething (Logan has shredded many a book’s spine with his teeth). So when it’s nap or bedtime and we say, “time for a story” and they [...]
blankets, for Pat
One of my dear friends made the boys the cutest fleece Winnie the Pooh blankets as a shower gift. They are cute and soft and the perfect size for little guys. Well, in the past few weeks I’ve gotten them out again to help ward off the cold and the boys have decided [...]
Good Stuff
This picture wasn’t taken today but it’s a really good image of how our day has been… AWESOME. The boys are back to happy again after the Nap Transition v2.2 implementation. And yes, it really is this much fun (most of the time) being the mother of 13 month old twin boys. [...]
The Nap Transition v2.1
The transition from two to one naps officially began today. After two recent days of Forest refusing to take an afternoon nap and yesterday both boys didn’t go down until 3:00 (usually it’s at 2) and then for only 30 minutes, I figured I’d see just how long I could keep them up this [...]
2 new ones
Logan officially has four teeth on top and two on the bottle. Forest still doesn’t have a single one but I know they are a comin’. I have some tooth news myself that I’ll post about in a few days.
