Ten months

(8/7)  I am so not used to seeing a standing J everywhere I look.  He is getting fast, and tries to pull up on everything.  He cracked me up when I went up to feed them this morning.  He was sitting in his crib, running his pacifier along the crib rails.  I may have to give him a tin cup and get a video.


(8/8)  Walking is apparently exhausting.  We met up with Sarah & Co after soccer today and walked to Starbucks and the park.  J was so tired that he fell asleep on the walk, slept through me putting him in the car, driving home, taking him out of the car and transferring him to his crib.  Both boys slept the afternoon away while I worked on painting the downstairs.  


(8/9)  The kiddos had a lazy day with Dad.  They took two long naps, and were totally done not long after I got home.  I finished touching up the walls tonight and am thrilled with our new space!

Eating is hard.

Walking is exhausting.

(8/10) Work day for Dad & me, and Sarah had the little guys. They got to go to the park, but were very tired, so they went back home. Sarah reported good naps and happy kiddos. We played when we got home, and then it was bedtime.


(8/11) Double digits.  Ten months today.  Wow.

And WHOA! It's a record! D slept 8p-7:30a. Hallelujah!!! J woke at midnight, but then also slept through. There is hope!  D also stood up today - well, mostly.  (see sideways D pics below, in the stripes)

Today I made pancakes for breakfast and the twins had 3 between them, a banana, and some Cheerios.  They ate more than all of the rest of us did! We hopped in the car to take C to swim and played at the park for a bit. We came home for lunch, but J slept through it again.  I put D down after lunch and we all took a nap.  Glorious!  We had a good dinner together, and then the boys played until bedtime.


(8/12) I love Sundays! J slept all night last night and D was only up once.  Dad was actually up ahead of all of us, which is unheard of!  He and C left to go camping tonight (just an overnight) and Nanan stayed the night so she could watch the twins tomorrow until the boys return. 

We had a great day today.  I got a lot done while the little boys napped, and when they were up, I got to play with them and read my book.  Can't beat that!


(8/13) Happy Monday!  Nanan has the boys until the bigguns come home.  Hope everyone has a great day!

Poor Nanan.  When I left (6a) D was chatting away, and she sent a text that she was up with J at 6:45.  I can't say I'm totally surprised because they were both *done* at 6:30p last night, which is far earlier than they usually go to bed.  Here's hoping they nap well! 

J & Jamie - I did a double take when looking at these pictures!

It's Jordan & C all over again!
