Twinsies

This post is all about the twins.  They arrived in FL not feeling too good, trading nights to be fussy, have a nasty nose and run a temp.  But they still had plenty of smiley cute moments to share and by the end of our time together they were better.  I snagged them from their bath our last morning together and did the lotion and diaper thing.  Then they helped Grandpa get packed…sort of!

The twins turned one on April 30.  We took advantage of being together and had a mini celebration!

Andrea had requested summer dresses for Liberty and a little suit for Nehemiah.  So when the paper came off she enjoyed saying “Oh look, it’s a Birthday suit!”  Typical of little ones, the twins just wanted the paper!

Then the cupcakes came out.  Once the candles were blown, they dug into the good stuff.  Liberty led the way…one taste of the sweet stuff and she thoroughly enjoyed her cupcake and helped herself to some of Nehemiah’s!

I love her “happy feet!”

Speaking of happy feet, Andrea recently shared a video on facebook of the busy twins.  Both are walking now.  They seem to grow so fast once they discover they can walk. They are coming to Colorado later this summer so we will get another opportunity at enjoying them before they toddle too far away from being babies!

The House of Twins!!

A couple of days ago we got in a quick Skype session with Andrea and Elaine…Nolan was out on an errand with Daddy and the twins were asleep.  Before we said goodbye, Nehemiah stirred and Andrea went to get him.  My word, he has grown so much!!  I could not believe it when Andrea said he was 9 lbs.  He has filled out quite a bit since our visit a few weeks ago!  Which made me lament to Andrea that I had not posted my twins pictures yet!  So, before they start walking, here is a little taste of what a house of twins is like!

The best part of babies is just holing them and enjoying looking at them.  All their tiny little baby parts…ears, fingers, nose and mouth, those tiny little nails are in place, the feet!  I just can’t get over it!

Those little bodies need a lot of care.  Feeding, burping, nappy changing!   The twins graduated from a single in the sink to both in the tub while I was visiting!  I think the tub suits them better!

Bath time is always followed by a good lather of Baby Magic lotion and a big sister who loves to rub it in!

Then the baby gawking starts again! 

Mom and Dad have been doing a good job managing the double action.  I can’t believe this is the only shot of Ben with his babies  that I took.  He was pretty tired when I arrived.  He’s a good Dad, working, helping with the twins and still playing with Elaine and Nolan and reading to them and helping get them into bed. 

When Mom and Dad’s arms wear out, Elaine is always ready to help out.  She loves talking and singing to the twins.

Wally flew our for the Memorial Day weekend. He was determined to see these babies when they were still tiny.  See, you just get caught up looking and looking at them!

Hope you enjoyed looking too…they are pretty sweet!
