One week home

I feel like we have been home much longer than one week. It seems like the babies (I may call them babies forever) have been with us for years. They are doing really really well given the huge transition they have gone through over the past month.

Ayla

She is still the boss lady. She is not afraid to tell you what she thinks or what she wants.

She is branching out in the foods she is eating but they still must be soft and very small bites.

She is not sleeping as well as we would like. She often, really often, wakes up at night to check on us. If we are there, she will go back to sleep most of the time.

She is still pretty attached to me but is really warming up to Jake. In the middle of the night she only wants me. That makes one tired momma since she is waking up ALOT.

She is gaining weight!


Isaac

He has a hysterical little scream he does when he is happy, excited, wants to get your attention or fussing at his sister.

He loves the water. We went a splash pad yesterday and he loved it.

He definitely has preferred foods and would like to eat only those. I don't blame him. I am the same way.

He sleeps like a champ.

He is starting to play with his sister more and even tries to give her kisses before bed time. With that said, he also likes to throw stuff into her crib because it makes her mad. Then he laughs. It's rather funny.




They are both playing together more, following each other around and must be doing the same thing at the same time. So we thought that the babies needed a night light. I didn't realize that all night lights now complete 47 functions. The night light lasted one night. Of course it projects a solar system onto the ceiling while playing music. Ayla stands in her crib to point at the stars while Isaac stands in his crib to dance to the music. Not exactly the impact we were hoping for.

I am so happy and grateful that we are both off for the summer. I can't imagine doing this with Jake at work. Our days are great. They are filled with wagon rides, stroller rides, playing in the pool, swinging on the new swing set, playing in the playroom...it's nice because we can be as relaxed as we need.

Love these babies.

Tomorrow is the meet and greet. The weather should be great. If there is a little rain we have a very large pavilion to stay dry! Hope to see you there!
