I am a big girl

Chloe somehow got onto the chair while I was making dinner and she was quite impressed with herself.

Not a lot new to report here. We are all healthy for the time being which is so awesome. We are patiently waiting for our Pediatrician to receive their portion of the H1N1 vaccination. Trying to find that shot is like trying to win the lottery it seems. It feels like everyone is panicked about getting it (as am I) but we are just trying to stay away from super germy places right now & do a lot of hand washing. It is what it is and all we can do is wait our turn I guess! Oh and we are officially done with bottles I just packed up the last of them. Now... binkies are another story but we are ok with that for right now. We are going to start working on only doing them at night pretty soon.

The twinnies are just so much fun right now. I love hanging out with them everyday. Every single day they do something new. We have started giving them their meals on plates and they actually leave the food on their plate and the plate on the tray 90% of the time. This has been a huge development because even a month ago they would have immediately dumped the plate on the floor. They also insist on both holding a fork or spoon while they eat. They don't really use it very well but they see us using one so they both always insist on having one. They are defiantly little people now.

::BFF's::

I don't think there is any question that C & C will always have a close bond. They are getting to be so cute together. They truly are best friends and are so blessed to have each other.

I was doing stuff in the kitchen this morning and
looked over to find them sitting on the couch together
watching Elmo.

Then I looked back over about 10mins later and they
were like this. So precious.

*On a side note is anyone else having problems with their pictures being blurry on their blog when they download them to this site? My pictures do not look blurry on my computer but when I download them to blogger they look horrible?

Halloween

We went to Madison Park to Trick or Treat at the
businesses on Saturday.

We played at a park first

We went to Trick-or-Treat at Daddy's office on Friday.
Chloe is lounging on the couch in his office.

They are almost too big to go in the swing together. Sad!

At the pizza party at Daddy's office



They were such troopers wearing their costumes. They
didn't seem to mind wearing them at all! They were the cutest
puppy & kitty ever :-)

Us & the Andrews family

'Twice as Nice' turns ONE!

My PEPS twin moms group had a Bday party celebration for all the babies & parents in the group last weekend. We rented a great space at the Mount Lake Terrace Rec center that had lots of toys for the kids. The last set of twins just turned one last week, so now everyone is ONE!!! It's so fun to see them all toddling around and playing together. It was fun to reflect back on the last year with all the other Mom's in the group and talk about all the things we have 'survived' having twins over the period of the last year! 16 babies in ALL...can you count them all?!!!!

Pumpkin Patch

We took the twins to the South 47 Farm just down the hill from our house on Saturday. We had a break in all the rain and actually had some sun while we were there. We were all overdressed it got really warm when the sun came out. With all the rain we have had though brought A LOT of mud at the pumpkin patch. They got SO dirty. 

Kirk, Karen & their daughter Sydney met us for some fun! Sydney is two weeks younger than the twins. 

Spoke too soon...

Chlo chlo is back to her binkie ways today...again out of the blue. I swear she put these glasses on her face all by herself too. Funny little girl. 

Bye Bye Binkie????

To anyone that knows Chloe very well knows that the binkie & Chloe pretty much have been one in the same for the past  year of her life. The first night we gave her a pacifier was day two in the hospital and she had to get some blood taken in the NICU because she had a little bit of a fever. Anyway, since that night she has been inseparable with that binkie. She has always wanted nothing to do with blankets or loveys she only wanted binkies to go to sleep. So we would routinely put between 3 to 6 binkies in her crib at night and she would hold them while she put herself to sleep. Well, to our great surprise last week out of the blue she decided that she now wants nothing to do with it. She will put it in her mouth and hold it there with her teeth but she does not suck on it. I think this is our window of opportunity to have them disappear all together?! Both Jerame & thought she would be a child that would have her binkie to sleep for years to come. It is a little funny that SHE is the one who has decided that she is done with it because we probably would have kept giving it to her for far too long. I will admit we have used that thing as a little bit of a crutch as often times it was our only way to get her to sit in the stroller, car seat etc w/out completely freaking out. I am not sure I AM ready for the bink to be gone?
