YEAH CHLOE!!!!!!

This day has been the best day I've had in weeks! As I type both of my girls are in their cribs taking a nice long nap. Chloe gave into the fight after about 40 minutes of crying and has been sleeping like an angel ever since. At first I couldn't decide what to do with all my "ME" time. Then I thought of my favorite thing...I took a nice loonnngggg hot bath and read my book. Now I am out and it seems as if I even have some time to spare. Oh what should I do. Play on facebook? Play on the web? Read some more? Finish the laundry? Oh I don't care all I know is the weather outside is so beautiful and my house is nice and quiet!

Sunday Fun Day!

A couple of weeks ago we spent our Sunday Fun Day building a fort for the girls out of their play mat. The fort definitely took Daddy longer to build than it took the girls to destroy it. They had so much fun crawling in and out of it.

Slow Blogging

I've wanted to blog and have thought of many ideas/topics but just can't find the time lately. We are still having sleeping issues with Chloe and that seems to occupy all my free time (which would be about none right now). When we get the girls to sleep I am just too tired to even get on the computer.

Abby's been busy cruising around on anything she can hang onto. She will be walking before we know it! Chloe is busy working on pulling up and working on her pointing skills. She loves to point to your tongue. Today we took them to the doctors for their flu shot boosters and they were champs. They hardly cried at all. I guess they are used to getting four shots so one is no biggy.

Here are two pictures from our Saturday picnic with Uncle Laszlo and Aunt Sarah:

13 Months!

I had intended on blogging on Friday the twins 13 month birthday, but it just didn't happen. I've had a tough week starting last Wednesday when Chloe decided she was attached to me and didn't want me to go. She screams when I put her in her crib for naps or bedtime. Let her cry it out you might say. Oh I have the longest time being for 1 1/2 hours when she finally gave in and slept for 30 minutes. She will promptly fall asleep on the couch or bed next to me but if I move her into her crib the second she realizes she's not with me she cries. Abby has been a great sleeper and continues even through Chloe's crying, but it does wake her from time to time. I'm not sure what to do at this point, do I suffer through the crying who knows for how long or do I give in to a little peace and quiet and let her nap next to me while I read a book. I don't want to give up yet but she is a little fighter and has been since she was only 3 lbs 6 oz. This is one of the qualities we love about her, she may be the smaller twin but she is tougher too!

So at 13 months the girls still do not have any teeth. Abby is pulling up on everything and Chloe will be close behind her. Chloe does the funniest thing she sometimes looks at her legs while she is crawling (not watching in front of her) and has crawled right into things such as the wall and a closed door. She doesn't slow down either when she is doing this she is still full speed ahead. They are into everything! All the bedroom and bathroom doors are closed in my house so they can roam freely do the hallway without getting into trouble. Our coffee table has been cleared except for the very middle which I am sure will be going too soon. I no longer go anywhere without my two little followers this even includes using the restroom where they try to get to the toilet paper as it has been discovered and how much fun it is to rip into a thousand small different pieces. Our kitty spends most of her day in our bedroom, out on the porch or perched high up on a windowsill where she is out of reach from her two little chasers.

Abby Can Stand

This video is about a week old, but it is of Abby standing all by herself! She can pull up and she is really proud of herself! She also can go from the couch to the coffee table just by reaching her arm out (one on the couch and the other on the table). Chloe will be close behind as she seems to be taking notes on how her big sis is doing it!

Our Trip- Day 9...returning to FL

Sunday morning we got up and left NJ around 5am. The whole house got up with us to say goodbye, which was super nice. We had a wonderful trip and were sad to see it go by so fast.

Our Trip- Day 8

On Saturday, we went with Ryan and Bobby into the city. We went to the American Museum of Natural History. That museum is huge and definitely could not see it all in one visit. Next we went to Central Park for a stroll followed by a slice of pizza. Had to head back early this trip to get some more hanging time in at the house and to pack up. We planned on leaving around 4:30am on Sunday morning.
