at any rate, i know you all come here for pictures and stories of the babies. truly, sometimes i wish i had more to post about than babies. the little ones take up all of my time though, and so about them i write. there are lots of stories it seems, but i can't remember any of them. so i'm just going to post some pictures and hopefully tell you about those events.
sweet p is getting used to little l being around. he likes to give her the paci when she cries (did i already post that?) and lately he has been trying to share his toys. thankfully he has learned, mostly, not to throw them and tries to gently place them in her hand. he gets frustrated when she won't grab them so he rests them on her belly. one of p's favorite games before l was for me to balance his animals on his belly, given the size of that thing, it was no small feat. he decided to pass this game on down to little l, with dads help.
sweet p LOVES animals. and loves to match his animals to the ones he sees in books and on tv. so we took him to a fall festival to kick the pumpkins around (ball!!! ouch.) and see the animals. he clung to my leg the entire time, except when he was reaching up for the hand sanitizer which he found more appealing than the huge pig, sheep, and the hoards of kids and their obnoxious picturing taking parents shoving him out of the way. how we managed a picture i just don't know, we certainly aren't those types of parents :) .
then we took a little family trip to the park under the naval academy bridge ( i forget the name...). it was pretty chilly, but not terrible. the water was cold. it did not stop sweet p from immediately throwing his ball in the water and then charging after it. i, of course, had to accompany him. so we rolled up our pants and trudged in. obviously i did not have extra diapers or clothes, duh.
little l got her first bath...oops, it only took us until her one month birthday to get this task completed. and her brother assisted in lotioning (a favorite activity of his) and changing a diaper. yuck - his words exactly.
(isn't she beautiful??)
lets see...we are also trying to get back into the routine of sending RBDIII a package a week, including some homemade baked goods. p has started to participate and only recently discovered that cookie dough tastes delicious! uncle RBDIII - eat with caution!
other adventures include...swiffering, searching for bugs ( a new word - bu! bu! bu!) with dad, and taking a quick rest in little l's sleeping basket. complete with her hat, on his head...placed by him and him alone. he thought he was hilarious.
this mostly gets us all caught up until about now - there are more pictures on phones and cameras of our fall adventures, but that will have to wait until another post. BML spent the day yesterday at Gettysburg and so now we are watching the movie until we pass out from exhaustion. yay yay! is here for a visit so there is lots of fun going on, adventures we are having etc. we're also beginning the moving stages so if you know of anyone moving to Annapolis by Jan. 1 who needs a townhouse - we know some people!
hopefully we'll be back sooner rather than later. until then, FTD should have something for you. and really, since FTD and CMD get all the writing compliments around here, they should do some more posting with all of their free time. :)
