Ian - Celebrates 1 year of being a patrolling peace officer in October! For those of you that don't know, CSPD went to 10 hour shifts, so he works 60 beat from 4pm - 2am every week Friday - Monday. The girls and I enjoy having him home 3 days a week (Tuesday-Thursday)! He is also finally over the wost of this obnoxious cold that has been lingering for the past 2 weeks. Since he has Wednesdays off, he & I will be signing up for Grace's Bible study this Fall!!
Brit - I confess, this week has been a fairly lazy week, as I had hoped that a state of rest would aid in the healing of my family. It has helped! Aside from the typical laundry, housework, and twinraising, I haven't done much. We've been enjoying the comfort of home. Next week will be far more productive. I am looking forward to beginning my Jillian Michael's workout & starting the girls on solids! I have decided to only allow the use of plugs(pacifiers) during cribtime. So far, they've done pretty well; using their fists, chew toys, teething rings as replacements. I'm aching to get back into a routine, and once the girls finally get over being ill, hanging out with friends is a very important item on my agenda. Oh, I also celebrate 27 years of life on Sept. 9th!
Karis - Every time I lay this girl down, she rolls onto her tummy. She hasn't quite figured out how to roll back, so she gets a little frustrated, but I'm confident that she'll soon figure it out. She loves to carry on a conversation with anyone & anything. Yesterday, she was talking to the butterfly on the exersaucer. She has a very strong grip & enjoys grabbing Mommy's hair & Daddy's face. As of now, her hair is a light strawberry blonde, and there's not much of it. She's loosing some. She's happy to be held by anyone.
Kelsie - This little one is so verbal! I'm convinced that she talks & screams, just because she likes to hear herself. :) She wants to be mobile so bad. Like her sister, she often rolls to her tummy, but cannot roll back yet. She reaches for things hanging above her and also has a very firm grip. She is practically bald. She's very good at communicating her joys & sorrows! She prefers to be held by Mommy.
Both Twins - Love to laugh & hang out with eachother! They're in size 1-2 diapers! Still haven't had to buy any...AMAZING!! They love to sit & stand, supported. They're drooling like crazy!! Maybe pushing teeth in the next few months. In 6 month clothing due to their height! They love staring at ceiling fixtures, especially fans...even if they're not on. They enjoy watching Baby Einstein and watching Mommy's mouth move when she reads them Bible stories. They are quiet on car rides (usually because they fall right to sleep). They are impartial to bathtime. Can't say they enjoy it because they don't smile or play in the water, but they don't cry either. I think they'll enjoy it more when they can sit up.
