Farm and Zoo

Last weekend was such a busy weekend. First on Friday we didn't go to school cause our friends Ms. Becca and Mr. Chris came up to play with us and take us out to lunch. We walked to Subway and ate yummy sandwiches, and of course we spent time in babyjail. Nate's favorite part was climbing all over Mr. Chris, he is so tall and is great at rough housing with us. He also has awesome shoes!!

Nate with Mr. Chris and Ms. Becca - Alex was a little camera shy that day but gave everyone great hugs!

Saturday Mommy and Daddy took us to the Farm and we picked blueberries, raspberries and tomato we also bought cantaloupe, peppers, corn and zucchini. We saw goats and llamas and had way too much fun!

Needless to say we had great big naps on Saturday!! Sunday morning Mommy took us to the petting zoo. Alex did awesome and wasn't afraid of anything, and Nate was... well Nate and ran after EVERYTHING. We saw chickens, goats, sheep, a horse, an Emu named Mu, a pig, ducks, bunnies and a turkey. We had a blast!!

So that was just the weekend. On Wednesday Miss Jeanette came to visit us, we went swimming, Alex was doing awesome in the pool, floating on his own (with the arm floats) and kind of swimming,  and Miss Jeanette helped us eat lunch and get ready for naps before going out to lunch with Mommy. Busy week!!

Big news is Alex is finally moving to the 3 year old room at the end of the month and gets to be with Alex. He also will be starting an IEP program, special education, at the local elementary school in the next month so he gets more physical, occupational and speech therapy. So he will get to go to the elementary school a few times each week and spend his mornings there and then head off to daycare to play with Nate and our friends.

Phew.. that is one long update!! Enjoy!

Social Butterflies!

This past week was a busy one. We had the usual PT appointments and outings... however Friday and Saturday were busy days. Friday we went over to play with Jacob and Sofie and their Daddy, Mr. Michael. We had WAAAY to much fun. Here are some photos and a video ... Alex was camera shy however.

On Saturday we got to go to Miss Jeanette's to watch the Hokie's beat Miami!!!!!!!!!!!! Mommy had Nana and Grandad on standby just in case things got out of hand with us..... and of course they did! We got there and got some loving my Miss Jeanette's HUGE dog Moby.... he is like twice the size of Sasha.... he was super affectionate with Nate. Mommy ran around and baby proofed Miss Jeanette's living room.... but we still found things to get into.... chips, guacamole, crackers, the tv, remote controls. About 3o minutes into the game Mommy and Daddy had enough when Nate tipped over a cup of Margarita and the proceeded to smear it into the table. Off to Nana's we went. Aunt Courtney helped Mommy drop us off... and manage to get a photo in before heading back to the game. Oh well we had fun and at least the Hokies won!

Us and Aunt Courtney..... GO HOKIES!

What a weekend!

Could we have been any busier??????

So as you Friday was play with Sofie and Jacob and Miss Erika as well as Miss Jeanette day.... yesterday was Aquarium with Aunt Katie and Uncle Ben day!!!! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN...... Some of us would have had MORE fun if we had decided to nap.... :ahem: Nate..... So Nate didn't nap at all before we went to the aquarium and he didn't get to run around as much as he would have liked... Alex was fairly content with being carried every where... there are no strollers allowed in the aquarium. We saw TONS of fish.... as well as sharks, sting-rays, dolphins, birds, sloths, and a tarantula... very cool! We also walk a little bit around the Inner Harbor and saw a bunch of boats.... Uncle Ben steered the stroller like a mad man... but it was fun. Then it was back home for dinner and bed. We were exhausted! But do you think we slept through the night? Of course not... Alex woke up right as everyone was going to bed (Aunt Katie and Uncle Ben spent the night) which was about 1130ish and didn't go to bed till almost 2... poor Mommy was rocking him trying to get him to fall asleep in her arms so he wouldn't cry when she put him down and disturb our guests.... luckily when she did finally put him down... even though he wasn't completely asleep he only fussed for a minute.

This morning Daddy ran us around outside and we saw Sofie and Jacob as well as the other set of twins that live two houses down. But we stayed inside most of the day because it has been very hot out.


*BREAKING NEWS* Alex just hit a HUGE milestone that Miss Cheryl his PT wanted him to do... Alex started walking on his own with no encouragement... walked up to the ball, picked up it threw it, kept walking, walked to the ball, bent down to pick it up again, kept walking and threw it... YAY he can balance himself enough to walk, bend over, pick something up and keep walking... AND throw it....... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And in the world of Nate... this weekend... his Godmama...Aunt Katie....whom Mommy loves with all her heart...... taught Nate to say "No-No"...... Mommy currently still finds it amusing... however she mentioned something about payback and it being a female dog.... not sure what that means... but there is a video on Aunt Katie's camera so when we get it we will definitely be posting it.

Ok dinner time. Yum!!! Pictures from this weekend can be found here - http://community.webshots.com/album/570626898wFbIeI

Happy Friday

So we had a very very busy day! We woke up, ate breakfast and played for just a little bit... then we had baths and went next door to play with Jacob and Sofie.. our twin friends. We had so much fun, we ran around their basement for a good hour and a half. Then it was home for a quick snack and a nice long and much needed nap. Then we woke up and had lunch and next thing we knew Mommy's friend Miss Jeanette was here and wanted to play with us. We played for a while and tackled her and Mommy and pulled some hair and bit them a bit... completely out of love of course! Then we went for a walk to the Snowball stand and hung out there for a little bit, we did get a couple bites of the icy treat and then it was back home for some more playing and eating... boy are we exhausted.

Tomorrow is another busy day. Aunt Katie and Uncle Ben are coming up for the weekend and we are going to the aquarium after our naps. YAY!!! We will post pictures from today and tomorrow hopefully on Sunday!

Oh and yesterday Miss Cheryl came by and Alex walked ALOT for her... and today he has been walking on his own more.... YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Lots of time to practice tomorrow at when we see all the fishies!!

It is so rough to be popular!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend and don't forget to donate to Mommy's team for the March of Dimes - March for Babies... we are hoping that one day ALL babies will be born healthy. http://www.marchforbabies.org/twadsquad
