It is still very weird to be writing/typing 2010... it has been a while since I have posted. We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! The twins did so well staying at Grandma and Grandpa B's house... so well that they actually were sleeping 9-10 hour nights!! Christmas was so much fun... Brevin had a blast and he great with all the craziness!! The twins did well too.. if they got overwhelmed.. they just went to sleep.
We are getting back into a routine now... Brevin is back in school... he is still doing Karate and looking forward to playing soccer in the spring! We are working on getting the twins back into a routine also.. they have not been sleeping well at all.. getting up a lot during the night but last night they both slept 8 hours. Ian has decided not to nap during the day... he went all day yesterday with only 1/2 nap total... I thought night time was going to be horrible but he slept through... 10:30pm till 6:00am... Alex slept through also but we did have to get up twice to give him his binky.. we was stirring and starting to cry. Anyway.. we are getting there.. it is hard trying to get 2 to sleep through the night... but like I always say.. in blink.. they will be 5 and heading off to Kindergarten like Brevin!
I am really looking forward to this year... last year we did not make it up to Ludington.. to my parents cottage at all because of the pregnancy... I am so excited to take the whole family up there to hang out and hopefully relax a little bit.
I do love winter but honestly cannot wait for spring.. to get the boys outside and go for walks.. to go to Kensington park and hopefully get back into jogging.. just need to get a jogging stroller now for the twins. I am just itching to get back into exercising and get back into shape!!
The boys are growing SO fast.. their next appt is the last week in January.. can't wait to see how much they weigh!! They are in 3-6 month clothes right now and still wear #1 diapers but I honestly think Ian could go into #2 diapers.. he is a chunk!! Alex is still smaller than Ian but he is growing just as much! They still eat about every 3 hours.. drinking roughly 4-5 ounces at each feeding.. sometimes they go 4 hours inbetween but they are much happier if it's only 3 hours. They giggle now which is so fun and they smile a LOT.. they LOVE their big brother and love to watch him play... They are "talkers"... it is so cute when Mike and I hold them.. they look right at us and just jabber away.. like they are really trying to tell us something.. it is so cute! Ian is really becomming a momma's boy and Alex is more of a daddy's boy. Alex is still much more content to hang out on his own.. he still loves the TV and we have started putting the baby einstein movies in.. he will sit through the whole show and just smile and giggle away... Ian likes it too but he would rather sit on my lap and watch it!!
We think Ian is teething already... he drools a ton.. we have to keep bibs on him because he just soaks through his outfits!! He also will stick his fists in his mouth and just chew away so I am curious if he will pop an early tooth.... we will see!
Here are some recent pictures of the boys.
