We’ve been thinking about getting the twins a bouncy seat for a while, but lack of space and too many baby things already put a damper on those plans. Well, I was returning some items to the Twins By the Bay loaner library today and happened to think of asking if they had a jumperoo. [...]

Seven Months Today
Posted in Milestones, Video included on February 26, 2008 | 4 Comments »
They celebrated by trying (and liking) apricots for the first time. I don’t have time to do a big photo session this week, but I grabbed two hurried videos this morning just so you can see what they’ve been up to lately. The first one shows Claire dancing.
The second one was filmed right after I [...]
Ronin weighs 16 pounds!

He tipped the scales at 16 pounds, 1 ounce a few days ago and Claire is still right on his heels at 15 pounds 14 ounces. I’ve been trying to give them a new solid food every three days. They are still getting the majority of their nutrition and calories from breastmilk, but they are [...]
Sleeping through the night
Posted in Milestones on February 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I can’t be positive, but I think Claire slept a full eight hours last night. We may end up paying for counseling sessions for admitting this, but waking up, shifting the babies, feeding one, falling asleep, waking up, shifting the babies again, and repeating as necessary in the dark throughout the night is not conducive [...]
Domesticity & Dining Out

I spent much of the weekend making homemade baby food. I never pictured myself as the kind of mom who would do this, but somehow I ended up being that mom. I made homemade green beans, nectarines and rice cereal, and I have some organic mangos waiting to ripen a little bit. I still have [...]

Ronin pulled himself up today

He stood up at the edge of the exersaucer several times in a row, right while I was uploading these pictures, so unfortunately I didn’t get to record it. Justin joked that he was worried Claire would learn to walk while he was away and if I was a little better at video [...]
Happy Anniversary

Let me preface this by saying that both Justin and I are very bad with dates. If either of us ever forgets your birthday, don’t take it personally. Needless to say, Justin is still out of town and it took a co-worker to remind me that today is our wedding anniversary (not tomorrow, like we [...]
Mom’s housewarming party
Posted in Uncategorized on February 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It is unseasonably warm and beautiful here. The grass is green, birds are chirping, and it was a perfect day for everyone at Mom’s housewarming party to gather outside and admire her garden. The babies have been exposed to grass before, but they’ve never had the opportunity to wallow in it. Claire plucked it up [...]
Justin is gone

He is in Salt Lake City, on his first business trip, and he is gone for five long days. He is getting back on our wedding anniversary, and I have to say that will be the best present ever. The babies noticed that he was gone last night, and I missed him too. We all [...]
