A Week of Firsts...

We had a fairly busy week with our twins playgroup Monday, storytime at the library on Tuesday, music class Wednesday followed by a visit from Grandma (Grandpa was sick), Mother's club playgroup on Thursday, and then a visit from Mimi/Buppy on Friday. But we did manage to find some time to have some new adventures as you'll see below!


I've been dragging my feet a bit on the whole utensil thing, but this week we tackled it with a vengance. Forks haven't been a problem since fork related food items usually aren't so messy. Spoons are where I've been hesitant, just knowing that we're bound to have pudding on the walls, in the hair, and so forth. Below is M&A's very first time feeding themselves yogurt 100% on their own with a spoon. Not so bad really...







Typically when a meal is over and we let the kids down from their highchairs, they run into the living room and start playing with their toys. This past week, they stood at the table and begged to sit in our seats. Looks like we'll have to give some thought to investing in booster seats pretty soon. They're definitely not babies anymore once they're sitting at the table reading books and playing trains. Sigh...




The gorgeous weather allowed us to take our new (to us) radio flyer wagon out for a spin around the neighborhood. I was worried M&A would put up a fight the way they sometimes do when we try to keep them in their stroller. NOPE...they LOVED it. This is pretty much the cadillac of wagons too. Cup holders, snack holders, fold down seat backs, smooth ride. I can see why they like it! Now if we can just get them to stop tossing things out of it while we're in motion. We had to make a few runs back down the street to catch a stray ball/cup/snack.



Saturday we hoped to take advantage of naptime and get outside to clean up the swingset and other outdoor toys. We assumed they were sleeping, but halfway through naptime we noticed the below. Looks like we've got ourselves a little peeper! Aidan's view of the neighbors driveway apparently isn't as exciting since he was still fast asleep!




Never a dull moment!!!
