Morning Romp Time

We all got an early start to the day, so we had plenty of time to play after breakfast. This is my favorite time of the day with Kate and Connor, since they are so playful and happy.







Kate was bouncing around as normal. As she threw her head back to laugh, I saw even more of the tops of her 2 new bottom teeth coming in. She's funny. You'd never know she was teething - no drooling, no squawking, nothing! She now has 8 teeth in her sweet smile.





Connor was having a great time too. We were watching a tennis final from Paris, and Connor wanted to watch it with us too. He made sure to take time to play and cruise around the couch while we were hanging out.

As I changed Connor's diaper, a saw a peek of a white tooth in the very back top of his mouth... a molar coming in! With Connor, though, I shouldn't have been surprised at all. He's been drooling like a puppy for days. Now we know why.

Weigh in time

While the twins are now a few weeks older than 12 months, I can't wait till later this week when they go for their official one year check up and weight in. So - I weighted them this morning (on my Wii Fit). Kate is 23 pounds, and Connor is 23.7 pounds.

Last canister of formula

Today, I opened the last canister of formula we'll ever use. Exciting and sad at the same time. We've been weening Kate an Connor off formula and on to cows milk. So far, no problems what so ever.

More teeth for Kate!

Kate now officially joins her brother Connor in having 8 teeth. The two bottom ones came in this week. You barely even notice when Kate's teeth come in - no crying or fussing at all.

Jacqueline and William come to visit

Jacqueline is a very special lady who is dear to us. She was our angel nurse who helped us to have Kate and Connor. Since then, she received her own little blessing too - William.

William is just 6 months old and he's already a lady killer. He has the most beautiful big brown eyes. Hugh and I were very impressed how he played nicely by himself for 20 minutes at a time. Amazing - since in our home the twins fuss if they are not the center of attention or being held. Note to self: we need to work on that!


Kate and Connor thought all the activity was all mildly interesting, but watching 2 new mom's chat about kids didn't entertain them nearly enough - so they scurried around and made trouble. It's not nice to have your 1 year old girl try to steal the pacifier of her own brother AND our little guest - but that's exactly what Kate wanted to do. Finally we found 3 pacifiers so everyone had one and there was peace at last.

Last stop down

Today, Hugh dropped the cribs to their lowest slot down. Since Kate and Connor are getting pretty active, we thought we'd try to stop them from climbing out while we weren't looking. Hard to imagine that they used to be in the same crib and not move even a few inches while they slept.

Up to the park

After lunch, Tracy and Will bundled up and took the twins up to the local neighborhood park today. It was cold at first, but they bundled up and the sun was shining.


Kate still loves the swing, but it turns out Connor still isn't a fan. It's interesting, though, that he LOVES being tossed up in the air and riding down the slide in Tracy's lap. No logic - it just is.
