July 24th-30th

(7/24) The little boys and I had a nice day today. J pulled himself onto his knees this evening and then got into a sit. Hooray! D is really cruising well now, and babbling up a storm. I'll have to get some video of his latest conversations!


(7/25) Nanan visited today and we took all the boys swimming. It is finally sunny here in the PNW, and we got to go out into the wading pool outside at Forest Park. It was perfect weather for it! Unfortunately, open swim begins at 1:30p, which is right during primo nap time. J didn't make it through dinner tonight. Too bad my phone didn't pick up the snoring very well.

(7/26) The boys got to come visit me at work today! C had a dentist appointment and all our sitters were unavailable, so they got to hang with Mom for a little bit. They're such mellow kids. After they got passed around and loved on, I parked them in the stroller at my desk and doled out Cheerios between researching properties. They haven't been at the office with me since they were 2 weeks old. We were well overdue for a visit!

Speaking of dentists, J has *8* teeth now.  4 top & 4 bottom.  Crazy!

(7/27) Work day for us and the little guys are with Kathy.  She said D was really chatty today.  I love that!

 

(7/28) The littles got to hang out with Nanan today while their mother was running around (I ran the Arts Dash Half this morning).  I was going to be productive this afternoon, but discovered the couch needed to be held down during the boys' nap instead. We've had a nice evening.  The boys are very in to crawling all over each other and sharing/taking toys that the other has.

(7/29) Today is our 11th anniversary.  Nanan watched the boys this afternoon so we could escape for a date night!  We went wine tasting, then out to dinner, and had a very nice time.

Mr. J has figured out how to stand.  I looked over and he was casually standing with an arm over the brace of the easel.  He looked over at me, and took a step, and then went splat.  He spent the rest of the afternoon climbing everything.

And D refers to me as "Momomomom."  Aww!

(7/30)  Zzz.  Dear D, 4am is for sleeping, not for raspberries, kicking, wiggling or other such nonsense.  It's a good thing you're cute.
