Twins with some dancing



(click video twice to open it larger in youtube)

Sorry for the poor lighting and the mess in the background. It was an impromptu video. Some things to take note of while you are watching. Henry calls MC "Bubba" b/c she calls him "Bubba", however, he does not want us to call her that. If we ask, "Where's Bubba?" he will not look around at all. He will wait until we say Mary Catherine or Sissy.

I wish they had danced a bit more b/c their moves are hysterical. Jason taught them everything he knows...

The Cuteness Never Ends...

I could seriously write all day long about the twins at this age...the good and the bad.   Since this is their 'baby book', I think I'll do just that...write as often as possible. 

Today, it's been a good day filled with sweet and funny interactions. 

Earlier, we were all in the bathroom and the twins were spinning around and around.  I think Henry started it, but within seconds MC joined in.  They kept falling and laughing.  It was so funny!  I tried to get it on video, but of course, that didn't work.  I did get some funny video that I might try to post, even if it wasn't what I wanted.

Just now upstairs, I was getting ready to change the twins into pjs for bed so the twins were scrambling to play with everything in sight.  Henry grabs two sets of intertwined stethoscopes.  He untangles them and walks across the room and gives Mary Catherine one of them. 

Honestly, it doesn't get any better than that in my opinion.  He is so sweet I could bite him.

Our Favorite Toy...


I love how MC has her knee up and looks so into it.
I love how Henry is watching her work.

One of the twins' favorite toys right now is their small magna doodles.  They love to write on these and love to have us draw pictures on them as well.  Over and over they will bring it to us and attempt to say what they want us to draw.

Mary Catherine was writing on Henry's pad with her pencil.

Breakfast

Silly me thought that it would be years down the road when I would feel the sting of the increased grocery bill for a family of seven. 

I guess I didn't take into account what great eaters Mary Catherine and Henry would be at this point in their lives.  I strongly believe that is because they have always been fed 'real' food like we eat and rarely eat the bland baby friendly foods. 

For example this morning, the babies have been in their boosters for almost thirty minutes and have each eaten a bowl of eggs, dry Kashi cereal, 1/2 a banana, and two bowls of shredded wheat with milk.

Honestly, that is probably more than what Jackson eats for breakfast and he's huge.  I cannot imagine how much the twins would eat if they weren't 'small' for their age.
