Kids In Saucers

Not too much happening it seems...

I think I have been waiting for "something" to happen so I could write about it!? It doesn't seem that too much is going on right now in our lives. Now, I know that is not entirely true if I really think about it!

Let's see..........Ambrose, Maisie and I are still getting out for our walks/workouts with another mom & her babe and we have actually increased our outings from 2 days/week to 3 days! The kids are really good about it so that means lots of fresh air for us! Yay!!

Hmmmmm, what else? Well there is alot of Saucer and Jolly Jumper time these days and they are FINALLY starting to get the hang of the jolly jumper! (yes, mom is excited about that!) It was a little disappointing for me when I put them in it the first few times and they just sat there or should I say, just hung there staring at me! I had great expectations of smiles, giggles and squeals of excitement as they used their legs to propel themselves upwards and then gravity bringing them back down to do it all over again! So, I am happy now that they have figured out that they can move themselves around (we're not quite at the big bouncing stage, but getting there....) and they seem very amused by it all!

The whole family is going on a small trip next week. It will be Ambrose & Maisie's first Airplane ride! We are flying up to Prince George and then driving to Burns Lake to visit my Grandma! (some of you may have to get out a map for that one). Thank goodness the flight is a short one because the kids don't like to sit still for very long. They are quite squirmy wormy really! It will be interesting I am sure. We are really looking forward to the trip, visiting with relatives and for everyone to meet Ambrose & Maisie!

Where Have The Spring Flowers Gone?

What!? Flowers are blooming and the bushes beginning to bud and now SNOW? A little confusing for those poor plants! It was an indoor day for us! Exersaucers instead of the stroller! Ambrose & Maisie really enjoy being in those saucers! Well, can you imagine only seeing things from a horizontal position lying on your back and looking up!? How fantastic to go VERTICAL! Wow! I find it so entertaining to watch them interact and discover new sights, sounds...........Oh, and speaking of sounds!! That boy Ambrose has been VERY vocal the last couple of days!! ha ha ha I think he has just learned his voice has different volume ranges and he is testing them out!! Ahhh, to be a baby!.................(p.s. that is Maisie above in a half contorted position!)

Two Thumbs Up!!

And Thank Goodness for THUMBS!!

Yes, THUMBS!!

Ambrose & Maisie didn't take to using a pacifier, but have just recently found their thumbs! For now it is a GOOD thing, but I am sure I won't think so later on down the road, right!?

They Grow So Fast!

Wow! Can we give them something so they won't grow so fast? People are right when they tell you that time goes by even faster when you have children! (I didn't believe them before I had them). Ambrose & Maisie are four months old now and are good babies. (I think? I don't know who I am comparing them too?) They are sleeping 7-9 hours a night and I think that is good from what my "mom" friends say. Oh, and the sounds they make! They are really starting to use their little voices and jibber jabber! It is so fun to watch them when they are lying on the floor together looking at each other and smiling and laughing. After a short while of lying together they will usually start holding hands - it is sooo cute! This is the wonderful part of having twins. Two screaming at the tops of their lungs is not so wonderful or cute, but luckily for us it doesn't happen all that often! Whew!

The Arrival.........

What an exciting day for us!
