So Happy Together

Luke, that's hilarious!

Practicing her jab on Luke

Looking at Daddy

Let me grab your foot a minute

...and your ear

Those socks are nice

They are nice aren't they

You smell good Sissy

Let me see your other foot

la la la laaaaaaa....

My sock is just white...I think I'll pull it off...

You smell good too Luke

Your hair is sticking up in the back

Let me fix that for you...

Sissy...I'm going down...

You're coming with me...

Oh no...

Gotcha!

Don't Cry Luke

Luke what's the matter?

Mommy, why won't he stop crying?

I'm hungry and I don't wanna talk about it.

It's okay big brother.

Almost every morning Luke wakes up crying. He wants held and fed and he's not kidding around. Taylor plays in her crib and is usually very content doing so. Things have switched in that regard...she used to be the one crying in the morning wanting fed first. It's nice that she gives me time to feed Luke without having to listen to screaming. I appreciate that. :) It wasn't always that way. It used to be two babies screaming...and no matter how much you try to block it out...it's a little stressful to listen to while you're feeding one. Kinda ruins the moment. I have time to feed Luke...and even play a few rounds of patty cake before I feed Taylor. :)

Usually I pick up the screaming Luke and put him in Taylor's crib to change them. Usually as soon as he sees his sister...the crying stops and he smiles at her. This morning was different. He was having none of it. He wanted fed. I had to take a few shots before I finished changing Luke of Taylor trying to comfort him.

Snack Time Together

I've decided to try feeding the babies at the same time for snack. Snack time doesn't involve cereal with their different formulas and it's generally just a veggie that they split so I'm able to feed them every other spoonful. In the evening when Nick helps me feed them we turn the highchairs back to back so they don't distract each other. They still are distracted by each others noises but at least they eat when they can't see each other. They get so excited to sit next to each other. It's cute. Taylor has already taught Luke how to spit his food out though and they do distract each other but it's fun to watch. Depends on their moods and my mood as far as how fun it is. lol It's been mostly fun and they like anticipating their next bite as they watch each other eat. I took a series of pictures after they ate...you can't tell from these without audio...but after I took the utensils away...Taylor starts entertaining Luke but screaming and making noise and he just watches her and laughs. Cute.

New Years, Lukes Matching Hat, Twin Bonding, Laughing Babies

We've been having so much fun. The babies are getting super cute interacting with one another. Luke just LOVES his sister and he watches her A LOT. They both giggle when you bring their faces together and they like to play facing one another. Luke cracks up laughing when Taylor makes lots of noise banging a toy or banging the walker into the exersaucer. He thinks she is hilarious. I love just sitting back a little away from them and watching them play. I can't be far when they are on the floor though...lots of kicking and grabbing when they can actually get to each other. Cute. Fun times...I hope they always amuse each other this much. Cherishing these cute moments.

Luke's new hat like Taylor's, only blue.

They love being close.

Taylor holding onto the exersaucer and standing by herself.
Strong little legs.
And then of course she grabs the toy he has as usual.

They are LOVING the new fisher price stage toy!

Look at those teeth coming in!

Luke HATES green beans...he was gagging.
This is the first food he hates with a passion.
He's had them before but not w/o cereal and he can't stand them alone.
Don't blame ya buddy...I only like crisp fresh green beans.

Nick sits him up to change him and it cracks me up...he's so pudgy and cute.

More twin love going on...bringing their faces together...they giggle and giggle,
and so do we all.

Uncle Mick and Taylor

Or should I say antsy pants who can't sit still?

At Grandma's with the old school high chair

Nick's been propping their bottles up and letting them feed themselves.
He says it saves time...I say I still want to cuddle them while I can.

Taylor does so well in the pack and play for her naps...
she likes playing in there...until she sees me see her and wants picked up.
She starting to put her hands out when she wants "up".

STATIC is the solution to keep her hair down. lol

Miss never stays still 2 seconds before was sitting in the boppy playing with the mirror.
The back of her hair in the mirror cracks me up!
