All Caught Up!

Yesterday we took the twincesses for their 15 month check up.  Along with (count them, we did) THREE shots each, we were given the news that the girls are ALL CAUGHT UP developmentally.  WOOT! No more preemie charts!

smack pet the kitties; throw all of her lunch off of her plate and onto the floor - sometimes

Major Milestones for This Month:  TOOFS, a little bang trim, and lots of words (hot, hiney, Jane, more, moo, HI DAD, Mama)!!!!!!!








As you can see, any attempts that I make at putting their hair in pigtails usually goes awry.  I'll just keep trying.




American Plastic Toy Deluxe Custom Kitchen 
It's a little bit flimsy, but that's good because when the girls pull it down on themselves, it doesn't hurt, just scares the everlivingshit out of them (and me!).  We'll get them a nice Pottery Barn Kids one when they get a little bit older, and hopefully less rambunctious!




This month has been full of new friends and experiences, play dates, and a multi-city tour of many, many playgrounds.  These girls are busy with a capital B.  My head is spinning just thinking about all that we've done.  I can't believe that we are back to school one week from today.

A big special thanks to my hair stylist, Sara, for putting up with us at the Beauty Lounge in Westwood today.  She is seriously the sweetest, most patient person EVER, and she gave my babies their very first hair trim.  Emma was a little cranky from a lack of nap today, but Jane just marched around the salon, watching as Sara washed my hair and inspecting all of the shampoos, just like a little girly-girl.  It was THE best.  

The finished bang-trim product can be found on my Instagram page.  Follow me to see the pics!  Or you can like my Facebook page to see all of the pictures from my Instagram account, along with frequent updates and some great mommy discussions!

We're getting ready for some pretty big changes around here.  I can't wait to share all that we've done with all of you!  Thank you all for being so sweet and understanding, and for continuing to follow us on this crazy journey of ours.  You're all AWESOME!

Lots of love for the rest of your week!  xoxo

Who Doesn't Love a Play Date?!

Jane and Emma are changing EVERY DAY now.  It's unreal.  Last weekend, we were lucky enough to finally be able to have a play date with some of our besties, who have a daughter 6 months younger than Jane and Emma.  It was the MOST FUN EVER (for babies AND mamas and daddies).

I mean, look at this little cutie!!!

You may remember Olivia's mama from this post.  

After the kids went to bed, we got to drink some "lemonade" and talk about how crazy it is that we all have kids now and they were all sleeping in the nursery peacefully together.  It still blows my mind!

The really fun part about this month is all of the things that the girls are learning and how quickly they are becoming little KIDS!  They can pull themselves up to standing, creep all around the perimeter of the living room, going from one piece of furniture to the next, and Emma has finally gotten her knees up under herself to crawl.  Jane is babbling ("dadadada" -- so unfair) and pulling herself up to standing in her crib, and both girls are getting teeth in on the fly!  They are into LITERALLY everything now, and I'm just trying to figure out how far to go to baby-proof our apartment when we are still diligently searching for a home...

 SkipHop Foam Floor Mat (I'm pretty sure they discontinued this color scheme, but there is a similar mat here).




On Saturday, I decided to get brave and make the twincesses grilled cheese for lunch.  I slapped some cheddar cheese between a couple of slices of whole wheat bread and grilled it on the stove top.  I cut it up into really small pieces (nothing bigger than a pea!) and gave them that, some actual steamed peas, and their sippy cups and fully intended on cleaning the kitchen as they fed themselves lunch, but then stood there and cried like a crazy person and took pictures as I realized that they are becoming so much more independent and soon won't need my help anymore!  Now THIS is a milestone, people!






This weekend we have a date with Aunt Heather to have our very first restaurant experience, and we are going to be visiting Stride Rite to get walking shoes and little sneaks for the girls.  While most docs will suggest that bare feets are the best for learning to walk, I can't imagine just taking Jane and Emma out with no shoes on unless we were going to the beach.  Right?

Hope you are all having a great week!  Happy Hump Day!
