Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!! We love you!!!

We drew daddy a beautiful picture in crayon and also got him another Virginia Tech shirt (this time in Orange) and Mommy made everyone pancakes for breakfast (our were egg-free of course!).

Not sure what else we will get to do today... if the sun decides to come out we may go for a walk to the park.

We will let you know.

We met our Cousin Kerri yesterday. She is adorable! We gave her gentle kisses on her head and Alex tried to pat her... but was very gentle.

Happy Father's day also to Grandad, Grandpap and the newest member of the Daddy Club... UNCLE TODD!!!!!

Giggles

Here is a video of Alex about an hour ago with a small case of the giggles

BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE HAVE A COUSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so proud to introduce the latest addition to our family Kerrington SueAnne!!!!!!! She was born Saturday at 6:51am weighing a HUGE 8lbs 10oz and 21 inches long (compare that to our 1lb 8oz and 13 inches long... she is a GIANT!) We haven't met her yet, maybe next weekend or right before we head to the beach, but Mama and Daddy got to meet her and love her to pieces.... here are a few pictures

Oh and we also have a video of Alex playing with his shirt... enjoy!

New Video

Here is a video of Alex showing off his new favorite thing to do... bang his chest like a gorilla and go "AHHHHH"... followed by kissing the camera and actually turning off the camera by himself.... guess he was done with that!

Where is she?

Sorry to those of you who didn't see the video.... we fixed the problem.... hey we are two years old... what do you expect?

So Aunt Courtney is offically over due... where is our little cousin? We don't understand..... we were cool and came early..... doesn't she want to meet us? Hurry up little girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other news Grandma and Grandpap came to visit us this weekend, they just got back from a month in Europe. We both got shirts that say (in french) "Grandma and Grandpap went to Mont St Michael and all I got with this t-shirt". We had a lot of fun playing with them and showing them our new tricks. See all of Nate's tricks below in the video.

Sunday morning we went to the Nicu to visit Miss Kelly and Miss Celeste, it was so great to see them... we were a bit shy though, but we got to run around which was fun.


That's it for now... enjoy the video!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Daddy is OLD today... he turned 30!!!!!!!!!

Anyways we celebrated by eating pizza and having dinner together. We were being adorable as usual... Here is one of the videos mom took of Nate.... who apparently is part boy, part monkey and part DOG!?!?!?!?!? The video of Alex will be posted ASAP.. it is taking a bit longer to upload.

So we finally got some pictures from Memorial Day as well as on Sunday when Mommy took pictures of us playing and Alex drinking milk from a big boy cup! Not much new going on with us today. Grandma and Grandpap just landed safe and sound from their month long trip abroad, we can't wait to see them this weekend! And tomorrow we are going to Nana and Grandad's house and Aunt Courtney will be there too(unless she has our cousin tonight!!) We will try to get Mommy to take pictures of us with Aunt Courtney's belly!! Enjoy the pictures

Happy Friday!!!

We hope everyone enjoyed their short work week. We didn't do anything major this week.... I mean minus celebrating the Penguins going to the Stanley Cup Finals!!!!!!!!! WOHOO!!! We can't wait.. hopefully we can take back the cup this year.

Hopefully it stops raining this weekend... it has been raining every day since last Sunday and we haven't gotten to go outside and play. This weekend we may join Mommy at a BBQ with some of her high school friends... we will see if Daddy wants to take us... and next weekend we are going to go visit the NICU nurses who took care of us for 4 months.... or 123 days if you want to be specific!

There is also something else going on next week.... DADDY'S BIRTHDAY!!!!! He is turning the big 3-0! That's ancient.... well to us at least! Also Grandma and Grandpap get back from their trip and will come visit us as well to help Daddy celebrate his b-day.

That's about all that's going on here. Aunt Courtney is still pregnant and due in like 9 days... so any day now we will be introducing our little cousin to you all.... we can't wait!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Another Video

We had a BBQ at Nana and Grandad's house on Sunday with the family and look at the neat trick Nate learned how to do.

New Video

Just wanted to share a new video with you guys.. taken today... of Nate going down the basement stairs and Nana and Grandad's house.

lots of news!

Hi Everyone... we will start with sad news first. Great-Grandpap T died this weekend (that's Grandpap's Da-Da)

Now on to lots of exciting news.... first of all.... last night Dada did something to our car seats and we got to face forward finally. It is so cool... we can see Mama now while she drives us around! Look at what big boys we are.....

Nate

Alex

Also in news we got big boy travel beds for when we go to the beach and visit people. We napped in them at Nana's house to try them out. We really didn't fuss as one might imagine when we got zipped in. It's basically like a big tent with an inflatable mattress to sleep on. Here are some pictures of us checking them out the day we got them.

Alex

Us checking them out

Also this week Miss Becca and Aunt Katie came to play on Sunday at Nana's house. We were fairly fussy so we don't have any good pictures to post. Oh well. Alex is pretty much a full time walker. He doesn't do long distances but he really enjoys walking everywhere... sometimes he still holds some one's hand, but it still counts!

We have had runny noses this week. We seem to be better but last night Nate didn't sleep well and Mama and Dada now have sore throats. What Fun!

That's about all for now. More later! Tomorrow we are going to Nana's house to meet Great-Great Uncle Bruce and Miss Barbara (Pop-Pop's brother and his friend)... we will definitely post pictures of that when we get a chance.

And Aunt Courtney is still very pregnant and is due in a little under 3 weeks. We cannot wait to meet our first cousin!!!!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy Mother's Day to all our readers who are mothers (or are moms-to-be!) Alex was so excited about Mother's Day and giving Mommy her present that we got her, so he woke up extra early! YAY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!! So we gave her a beautiful new apron and some cards, then we all had breakfast, we had egg free waffles while Daddy made Mommy Nutella filled pancakes. Then Mommy went to the gym while we napped, then we had lunch and took a walk to the park, where we weren't in the mood to do anything like go down slides or climb things, we just wanted to go home and play... but we enjoyed being outside in our strollers. Now all we need is dinner and a bath and we will be ready for a (possibly) good nights sleep.

So here are pictures from what we got our fabulous Mommy!

A view of the roses!

We did good!

Mommy and her new apron!

Happy Friday!

So nothing new here... except Nate figured out how to open baby jail last night, luckily Daddy caught him doing it for the first time so he didn't get too far. After we went to bed Daddy tied the gate so he can't unlatch it again... much to his annoyance this morning. We sent Mommy a dozen pink roses for Mother's Day which arrived today..... and no we won't tell you how we managed to 1) escape baby jail unnoticed 2) steal Daddy's credit card 3) order the roses 4) let no one know what we were doing. Yeah we are just THAT good!

Nothing much going on this weekend... we are going to attempt to stay awake to see the Penguins take on the Capitals.... GO PENGUINS!!!!! But Mommy and Daddy never let us have any fun. Oh well.. as long as they win we don't care!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Happy Mother's Day to all our friend's mommies and our Godmommies!

WE DID IT!

This morning was our walk for March of Dimes..... which our team as a whole raised over $2500... $2000 of which was from what Mommy raise... wohoo!!!! We had a blast... even if it rained the whole time.. that didn't put a damper on our walk. We walked 4 miles and saw so many people and a few dogs... including Aunt Katie and Uncle Ben's puppy Sasha! Aunt Maureen, Miss Jeanette, Miss Jenee and Grandma and Grandpap all walked with Mommy and Daddy and us. We can't wait for next year's walk... maybe the weather will be better. Enjoy the photos.

YAY!!!!

Thank you to everyone who donated to March of Dimes... as of last night Mommy hit her $2000 goal... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feel free to keep donating before tomorrow morning.... surpassing our goal isn't a bad thing at all!

We are very excited about the walk and seeing all our friends tomorrow.

Gotta go back to playing with Grandma and Grandpap now!

Happy Friday!

What a week we have had! Well... we really haven't done anything too exciting.... well one of us has... Alex took his clothes and diapers off when we was going to bed and decided to take a big poop right in the middle of his bed and fall asleep. Mommy found him... butt up in the air sleeping like... well a baby. He was rudely awaken when we was thrown in the shower. That was Monday night. Tuesday we went to the gym to play while Mommy and Daddy worked out, then came home to nap and then Miss Lori came to play and we showed her all our neat tricks, like Alex walking more and Nate saying "No-No". Then it was off to the mall to get new monkeys... again... cause they are starting to smell funny since we like to chew on their noses... that and Alex's was sleeping butt naked on his the night before... so time for new monkeys! Wed. was Nana and Grandad's house, we have WAAAAAAY too much fun running around their basement. And yesterday was just a normal day, went to the gym in the morning to play with our friends and then Mommy has been busy working on team shirts for the big walk this weekend... speaking of which look to your left.. you should see a March of Dimes link/picture with Mommy's goal and how much she has earn... look how close she is to her goal... just under $200 away! It's not too late to donate... every dollar helps!!

So this weekend should be fun. Grandma and Grandpap are coming down tomorrow, and we are all going to watch the Penguins (YAY) take on the Capitals (BOO... sorry to all our friends who are Caps fans.... Uncle Bryant, Aunt Katie and Uncle Ben, Aunt Maureen.. etc) then Sunday we are off to Baltimore for the March for Babies walk with all of our friends. There will be about 10 adults and 4 babies in our group... and we will all be wearing matching shirts that Mommy is making... we will definitely post pictures as soon as we can.

Well off to play on this rainy Friday.... oh and Happy No Pants Day..... we may try to celebrate later when Mommy isn't looking!

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
