Poop Deck

It was a busy week for us (all of our helpers were on vacation) and not alot of photos were taken. But I can report that Maddie & Aidan are hitting milestones like gangbusters!! Aidan is now officially crawling, sitting up on his own and says dada (actually he says blah blah da da blah blah da). Maddie taught herself how to climb the stairs (to my utter shock). Kurt is downstairs right now coming up with a gate type solution to keep her off the stairs until Mommy is a little more prepared for it (I thought only toddlers climb stairs)! And I did hear her say ma ma the other day (aw shucks).

We are going through a bit of a heat wave here in Massachusetts, so the babies and I have been housebound quite a bit (hit 100 degrees today here in Mansfield). We occupy ourselves well enough...but are looking forward to getting outdoors again.

Kurt & I hit a bit of a milestone ourselves (well, maybe not really a milestone...but it did bring to light how quickly time passes). As a result of the warmer weather, I dragged out the babies' summer clothing. I came upon the pink and blue rompers Kurt & I had bought last June during our "final alone vacation" to the Cape. We went from store to store trying to find these rompers we saw on a baby at the pool and then we agonized over what was the appropriate size to buy for our babies to be. Well a year later I crammed (and I do mean crammed) my babies into those rompers and reminisced about the time when I was so looking forward to meeting them and had all of these dreams of what they would be like.

I can say we certainly have lucked out...all of our dreams are coming true!!!

The front of the rompers is a pirate with the words "Lil' Pirate" and "Chatham"...just to give you some context:
