The box is always the favorite present

We bought a little toy organizer for Emma and Ethan on Black Friday and they think the box is the best present ever. Ethan crawls on top of it and bangs on it to make noise and Emma pushes it around using it as a walker. It's all over the family room, breakfast nook and kitchen. Toy organizer $29.97. Watching all the fun they have with the box...priceless.

What do you mean i'm not supposed to be on the box

As usual the box is the best present.
Ethan and Emma have been playing around and pushing the box all
weekend and now Ethan crawls on top of it and gets back down on his own.

I played too hard

One minute I was playing and the next minute I'm out like a light!

Emma rakes her first steps with her walker bus

Just before this she walked the length of the coach. She had a few
steering issues this time when the camera was out.

Ethan takes a few steps with his walker

Of course we could not capture his walking the length of the couch
like yesterday.

I didn't do it, and you can't prove I did!

Everyday brings new abilities to the twins. Some cute, some helpful and some not so helpful. As Mommy was decorating the tree on the deck. Emma decided to take out the recycling her way.

Can we help Mom? Can we? Can We? PLEASE!!!!

It was too cute. Ethan and Emma were so interested in what Mommy was doing as she placed the lights on the outdoor tree. IMG_2177.jpg

Emma in Grandma G's Baptism Dress

Here's Emma in her Grandma G's Baptism Dress. She looks much better in it than the pic of me in it as a baby.

Why don't I get to drive, says Emma.

Wake up brother!

We just back from getting the twins their H1N1 shots and Ethan was sleeping so i left him in his car seat and took Emma out of her car seat. Next thing I know she has crawled over and woke him up to play.

I got it!

I finally got it! I grabbed the arm of the swing

Look who came for breakfast

Was feeding Emma (or should I say trying to feed Emma breakfast) and
heard Ethan approaching from behind. When j turned to say hello I
couldn't see him. Then I heard a laugh from under table. There was
Ethan standing on the chair. He posed for pictures and themtoy
amazement figured out how to get back down and we t back off to play.

Ethan stands in his playpen for the first time

It was so nice out today that we put Ethan and Emma out on the deck in
their playpens while we did yardwork. Ethan figured out how to stand
up so he could get a better view of the action.

Emma crawling and standing up

Well Emma is the first to really crawl on all fours. She loves to
stand up too as you will see at the end of this video.

Who pantsed me?

Actually I pantsed myself. I was feeding Emma and looked over to see
Little Man had his pants down below his butt. All I can figure out is
he stood on the end of the legs since they are long and as he bounced
up and down they came down. 30 seconds after the photo he had them all
the way off and his hands never left the table. Hope
He doesn't become a Chippendales dancer :-)

Tada!

Check out my new skirt! As my shirt says "Tada, Cuteness has arrived".

Daylight Savings Time is messing with E&E

Kids were up and wide awake early this morning. Getting into
everything. You think you are child proofed and then Ethan pulls off
the nighlight and CO2 detector. Emma crawls in my closet and pulls out
a plastic bag. I think the home is only really childproof when the
childs sleeping ... or away from home :-)
As I type Ethan and Emma think the handles on our dresser are the best
toy in the world. Luckily there are more than one handle. Check that.
Got to go, they are fighting over the same handle.
