Bath Time

mary catherine and henry

things are going well.  i have not  blogged in forever because life has been so busy.  home schooling three children with infant twins is very time consuming.  i often think about the things i would want to blog about, but never seem to find the time.  i will attempt to update you very briefly.

lately, these are things we have noticed.  my friend sharon told me that her twins switch personalities, but i am not sure how often this happens.  our twins do switch fussiness levels.  for awhile we called mary catherine, "princess fussy pants", but lately we have "high maintenance henry" instead and she's so calm and sweet.

mary catherine has been blowing raspberries like crazy.  she also loves to lie under the jungle gym thingy that has animals hanging down.  she reaches and grabs all of the animals, especially 'mr. banana-man'.  she coos and babbles the entire time she's awake.  mc only wants to be held upright so she can look around.  she will no longer allow anyone to hold her cradle style.  i remember kinz and kerr being the same way.  it makes me a little bit sad.  she will let me do it for a little bit. 

henry can coo and babble, but doesn't do it as often or as much.  (hmm...fulfilling stereotypes already?) he does a lot of squealing when you are talking to him.  he will give you a million dollar smile however!  he has the kind of smile that just lights up his entire face.  he still has to be swaddled with his arms in during naps and night time.  i have this vision of henry at 3 years old and jason and i wrapping and rolling him in twin sized blanket before bed, "okay henry, it's time for bed!  arms by your side buddy!"

even though the girls are fabulous with the twins, sometimes the twins just want jay and I to hold them.  if they are fussy they can only be calmed by us, and sometimes only by me, which can be a problem.  thankfully times like that are few and far between. 

overall, things are going well.  i intended to blog more often to share the daily drab, but it's just not possible.  i am sure i will lose the pathetic following that i had to begin with, but what can you do?
