First Finger Food

Technology has made it possible for me to document everything about Myla and Milan. So here are super cute photos of my cuties eating their first finger foods, zwieback toast.

I'm not sure why I had their tops off this day, maybe because I spend hours at the washing machine scrubbing out sweet potatoes, carrots and whatever other goodies they manage to get on themselves.

Milan liking her toast too!

First wine tasting and swim

Over Memorial Day weekend we took the girls and Max, our dog to Sonoma. This was kind of a test vacation to see how the girls would do on the road. I'm proud to report that the girls and Max are stellar travelers. They slept the whole night through in pak n play cribs and sat through three 2 hour dinners!

The girls had a blast swimming in the pool and even got into the wine tasting experience. We can't wait to do it again!

Finally, A new post

It's no secret that I'm horrible at updating the blog. I've gotten so much slack from family and friends that as tired as I am this evening, I decided to post some thoughts and photos.

It's sounds cliche to say, but time has flown. Myla and Milan are 9 months now and it seems that putting away clothes that doesn't fit anymore is a weekly occurrence.

Everyday the girls do something new. As of late, Myla rolls over on her tummy, props herself up on her hands and manages to get her head high enough to see over the crib bumper. When I put her down for a nap, I literally have to crawl out of the room on my hands and knees so that she can't see me. If she does see me she cries.

Milan has discovered her voice and she loves to let out BIG screams. We try not to laugh but it's so hard when we look over and she is grinning from ear to ear. We are constantly telling her to use her nice voice but she'd much rather scream. I don't blame her.

Pictures Galore!

Myla and Milan are so much fun to photograph these days. There are so many moments that I want to document but I usually don't have enough hands or time to get to the camera. I must get better at always having the camera ready or just taking it with me wherever I go. This weekend I tried to make up for all the moments that I did not document and captured some great shots of the girls.

Here are photos of Myla:

Little does Max know that we use him to encourage the girls to do "Tummy Time"

And Milan:

Happy 6 Months!

Myla and Milan are bursting with personality these days. They are full of laughter and smiles. On most mornings I wake to their little voices babbling away. They are the best! Here is their 6 month photo.

Feeling Melancholy

I'm feeling particularly melancholoy today thinking about how my babes are half way done with their infancy. I can't believe how quickly time flies. Being a full-time Mom is the absolute best and more often than not I find myself thanking Myla and Milan for coming to me. They make my heart burst with love.

Bumbo

Myla and Milan are now 5 months! Time flies especially when the last 4 months have been a sleepless daze. I sure miss my tiny 5 pound babies especially when I'm towing both babies in their car seats up and down the stairs. My arms are not yet showing any beneficial changes of all of the heavy lifting I do on a daily basis.

Lately, both babies have enjoyed sitting in these clever little chairs called Bumbo. Here is Myla's first go at the Bumbo.
