Soccer Mom


 
 Last Saturday was early preseason soccer in our neighborhood. Not only was Taylor so excited to see other children from his school there, he scored his first tournament GOAL! I'm so relieved that the twins are old enough now that we can schedule more activities for Taylor. I'm sure Taylor is excited about that too!

9 months-A Year of More Firsts

 
 
 I think this post is indicative of our life right now...it's taken me 3 weeks to complete their 9 month post! Oh well, such is life with a family that always has someone awake and ready to go! Both twins are on the go in their own separate ways, very vocal and chatty - go figure, and growing in personality and size everyday.
 
















Here's what Ryan's been up to lately-
* Had his first double ear infection and first round of antibiotics this last month.
* First trip to the beach. I actually have no pictures of the twins on the beach because both of them were super sick and it was freezing!!
* Has 2 teeth now (bottom front).
* Nickname: army man, because of his fast pace arm-over-arm tummy crawl.
* Learning to get up on his knees and will crawl forward short distances. Pulling up on furniture too.
* He also learned how to go from a lying down position to sitting upright super quick.
* First one to have his crib lowered. Getting a little too good at pulling up on things.
* Outweighs his brother this month. 21 pounds vs. 20 pounds.
* Loves the bath and gets mad when Taylor is going to take a bath and he's not.
* Loves to hold anyones hands to walk.
* Listens and follows - no touching - rules very well.
















Here's what Jacob's been up to lately-
* Had his first ear infection and first round of antibiotics.
* Finally has his first 2 bottom teeth.
* Finally started to become more mobile. He army crawls like Ryan but hasn't figured out the arm-over-arm technique that Ryan uses to move fast. He just pulls with his hands out in front and pushes off with his toes.
* Nickname: inchworm
* Fascinated by doors, door stoppers, wheels, cords, the microwave, and watching you eat.
* Loves the bath.
* Gets frustrated if he's left in a sitting position and can't get down to his tummy to crawl. Very tentative still.
* Loves to hold your hands to practice walking.
* Likes to dance to a toy car's music (see video below).

Today Was YOUR Day!

 
Happy 6th Birthday! 
 
 
Six years ago today you were born at 1:51pm...
 
This 6th year you wanted a putt-putt birthday party.
You invited old and new friends.
You walked through green streamers taped to your bedroom door to start your special day.
You tried to eat a green chocolate chip donut for breakfast
- your choice but you didn't really like it very much.
You picked out an Angry Birds Mylar balloon to go with the other green ones.
You wanted a cookie cake with a golf cart on it.
You couldn't wait to open your presents once we got home.
You played lots...with everything!
Daddy picked up your favorite dinner - Rudy's!
 

 




 
 




 
 
You're growing up so fast...we love you so much!
