Our Kids

Well we are back from our sojourn to Texas and none the worse for wear. The girls and I flew solo to and from and survived quite nicely. We had a 7AM flight on the way out and Piper was asleep before the plane took off in her car seat and Lela dozed off about an hour in and slept the whole way. So we arrived refreshed and ready for the day. On the way back both girls decided fly time was fun time and stayed awake most of the flight. They were both very good and we got absolutely no dirty looks and some nice man even dared to sit right next to a mom and twins, brave soul. Turned out he was asleep most of the time (or acting like it) and the girls barely bugged him:)

We had a great time in Texas with Nana and Papa and Great Granny. We went to the zoo, Macaroni Grill (an adventure for the girls), walked around their beautiful neighborhood and had a really good time. We went out for Mexican food a lot, the girls pretty much stuck to avocado and mom’s good cooking.

During the trip Lela’s second tooth popped out so she has two lower teeth. Nothing else really major happened. The girls are both crawling really well. Piper is standing off and on and can now drive her little car forward instead of just backwards. Lela is a good walker when she is holding your hands, she goes very very fast. Piper is slow and controlled and Lela is like Dale Earnhardt Jr, all out all the time go go go.

The girls are interacting a lot more with Lela going over to give Piper kisses on the spur of the moment. They hold hands more and today Lela even tried to bite Piper with her two little teeth. So life is definitely getting more interesting. They are still sleeping and eating great, they eat everything I cook for them and take two naps a day and go to bed at 6:30 PM to 6:30 AM with no night waking. We are truly lucky.

Next week we start the baby signing class at the Chandler Parks and Recreation Department. It should be lots of fun. Not sure I want to empower them to tell me what they think of me, they might say they don’t like my cooking after all but are starving to death:) HA, LOL!

As you can see….all is well.
