Mama Is Outnumbered: March 13th-19th

(3/13) J was on nap-strike today for Kathy. He was totally exhausted by 7:30, so I went ahead and put him down and then played with D for another hour. Thankfully, he went down without much fuss, unlike last night. Let's just say I was a zombie today.

(3/14) Nanan time for the twinsies. J didn't nap that great again today, but he was a happy boy, so I guess that's good.

I'm definitely feeling ridges on both boys' gums. I bet we'll be seeing teeth pop through here soon! J is gnawing on everything, and poor D is drooling so much, he soaks whatever is under him while he's sleeping, and wakes with a rashy face.

They were so cute when I checked on them tonight. Both of them were sleeping with their legs tucked under and their butts in the air.

(3/15) Dad says that D is furiously working on crawling today. He's been having a tough time going to sleep the last few nights. You can tell he's exhausted, but those limbs just keep flailing about like he's swimming. I'm looking forward to / dreading him mastering that skill... at least I can get some sleep!

(3/16) Yay, TGIF! I am so in need of a weekend!

Kathy said it was the Denton show today. D decided to take micro naps and J had a nice, 3 hr one in there. They also took an 8 oz bottle of formula on top of the milk I'd left for them. Can't.keep.up!! Good thing J will at least eat solids. This is crazy.

(3/17) We had a laaaaazy day today and it was awesome. We had no commitments, so just took the day to do a whole lot of nothing. I took the boys' pictures today and dressed them in green for St Paddy's Day. Well, they were in green until someone (J) decided to revisit the carrots from lunch. Yummy.

Oma and Opa dropped by this afternoon while J was sleeping. D had just woken up and wasn't ready to be social. He was fine when he was standing on my lap. He's getting very strong lately and stands with minimal support. Eep!

(3/18) Oma and Opa came for breakfast, but the twins slept through it. I left for pedis with a friend in the morning and came home to two hungry boys, despite just having had a bottle plus green beans for J. I put J down for a nap, leaving D out to play for a bit since he had only been up for an hour or so and came back down to discover he had found his thumb and passed out. Dad watched the napping boys (read: napped too) while I went out for a run and then went out to grocery shop and pick up some teethers for the boys. I realized we had lots of toys, but none of the teething variety. Whoops!

J is getting really good at grabbing everything - my hair, sweatshirt strings, etc and directing it right to his mouth. He can also grab the ring of his pacifier (which he munches on when I'm feeding D at bedtime), and pull it out / put it back in his mouth. D has found his voice this week and is now yelling like J. He is getting much sturdier and is able to be in the exercsaucers without being propped up. Unless he's tired. Then he's still floppy. J is starting to scoot on his belly and can get across the bed. Definitely have to keep an eye on him now!
