We have been busy the past two weeks/weekends. I haven't had anytime to sit and write a post. So sorry! Who would think that two 9 month old babies could keep a person busy?
On Saturday morning two weekends ago we set off on a road trip. We went to Madison first to visit Matt's grandma, mom and aunt, then to Jansiville to visit my aunt, uncle and cousins and then onto Dodgeville to spend the night with grandma and grandpa. It was a busy weekend but my family had yet to see the twins and I hadn't seen them in forever either so it was a much needed visit. It was great to see everyone and the twins had a lot of fun meeting their extended family. Grandma and grandpa enjoyed spending time with their grand babies too!

She loves this game and tries to get you to do it all the time! It is a good workout!
This past weekend we had a birthday party to go to for our friends Landon and Sawyer. The twins had a lot of fun! They enjoyed their first taste of birthday cake and were able to play with new people and toys! I got all the boys matching shirts. They all looked so cute together but wouldn't sit still for pictures - we got the best shots we could. I don't have those pictures on my camera so I will have to post them later this week.
During the week we mostly spend our time at home hanging out as a family. On Thursday nights we have Survivor night and spend time with friends. The twins enjoy that and usually get a lot of attention! When we are at home we follow a night time routine pretty closely and it seems to be going well. The twins are so much fun right now and their little personalities are so cute. They truly make us the happiest we have ever been.
Twin update -
Sleeping - both pretty much sleep through the night from 7pm - 6 or 7 am. Occasionally they will wake up in the middle of the night but are able to put themselves back to sleep pretty quickly.
Eating -both love their food. Sometimes I can't get in their mouth fast enough. Both can self feed but we are still eating mostly baby food (less messy). Puffs and cheerios are our favorite right now. The look on their face when you bring out the snacks is priceless.
Crawling - Reagan is a crawling machine and is starting to move fast. We can't take our eyes off her for a second. Quinn is close behind and in the past week has started to "normal" crawl rather than his army crawl all the time. He will still use the army crawl on occasion to get to things faster.
Pulling up/Standing/Walking - Reagan has been pulling herself up for a long time and now can navigate her way around furniture. She can stand for about 3 seconds unassisted before she realizes it and falls to her knees or butt. I think it may have a while before she starts walking but she LOVES to walk while holding on to your fingers. In the past few days Quinn has been able to stand holding onto the couch and is getting a lot more steady. He also is trying to pull himself up and has succeeded once. I don't think it will be long before he is good at it.
Fighting - the sibling rivalry has begun! Well lets just say most of the time Quinn is picking on Reagan. Quinn uses Reagan to sit himself up or pull himself to something that he needs/wants and Reagan absolutely hates it! He is constantly grabbing her clothes and pulling her down and she cries hysterically. They fight over toys occasionally too but usually Quinn takes a toy from Reagan and then she just moves on to the next one. If Reagan takes a toy from Quinn, watch out because a crying fit will begin! They both take each others pacis out of each others mouths all the time. Since Reagan is more of a paci lover she is usually the one that gets angry that Quinn takes hers but she is usually able to get it back quickly and put in back in her mouth for Quinn to take again!
Toys - What toys? Our new favorite thing to do is play in the kitchen. It doesn't matter if everyone is in the living room both babies would rather be in the kitchen playing with the door stop, two buckets that I have on the shelves that are their height, shoes, etc. They love shoes! It seems they love everything but toys!
Talking - Quinn talks more than Reagan but they both love to hear their voices. Reagan has found out that she has a high pitched scream. Quinn is very interested in your mouth and watches how you makes sounds and then tries to copy them himself. It is too cute!
Teeth - Quinn still only has his two bottom teeth. Reagan has her two bottom teeth and what appear to be her two eye teeth on top. We call her our little vampire!

They love bath time!
That's all the pictures for now. We have a busy week this week. Daddy is out of town on business until Wednesday and on Thursday Grandma and Grandpa are coming for the weekend. Both babies are still sick but so far so good on Quinn's ears as he has still been sleeping through the night. I hope they get better soon so we can enjoy some time outside in the nice weather. Have a good week everyone!
Getting so big!
Mom and her babies!
