My mom and bro, Matthew have been coming over almost every Saturday to hang out with the kiddos. That's great since it allows us to get some things done, for example, me taking a shower, making food for the kids and Dan running errands and stuff. Today Julie joined them during their afternoon awake time and helped me put the kids down for their 2nd nap while Dan ran errands.

I've been busy getting the house ready and planning their 1st birthday party. I was looking at NICU pictures of them and couldn't believe what a journey we've all been through. My goodness, how much they've grown! A few updates on the kids:

Hudson- his 2 upper teeth are out, can stand alone for atleast 5 seconds, loves to play/walk with the push toys, has to have 2 toys in his hands while playing, napping better than Tobin at this point (the boys keep switching on me), mastered finger foods, "talks" in the microphone toy

Tobin- has 5 teeth, can stand alone for 25 seconds, loves to be cuddled, is the first one to wake up in the morning and naps, shoves food in his mouth, don't like the jumperoo as much anymore (depends on the day), is attached to Alejandra

Skyler- another tooth is coming in on the top making it 5 for her, can stand alone for 23 seconds, definitely loves cuddling and rough housing with her, last one down for bed and last one up in the morning, shakes her head "no", wave "hello", loves the push toys and can ride on them, "talks" in the microphone toy, lets me trim her nails while being awake

They all love to climb on the gates, roll around on the sofa, clap their hands on cue, laugh during their meals, and loves cheese and puffs. Crawling and standing up/sitting on their own really well, I think we'll have walker w/in the next couple of months.

This was from last Sunday (08.02), I went to BRU to buy child proofing stuff and didn't make it back in time for their second awake time so Dan took care of giving the kids their milk. This is what I saw when I came in. Is he a great daddy or what?
