Spoiled Rotten

They say you can't spoil an infant, but you be the judge. How many of these gifts do you think are for the adults in the household?

Moody Two Shoes

How can someone with such cute shoes be so grumpus?

Not Bastards

So, 3 months after their arrival of our children, we finally got our wedding pictures and the girls have evidence that they are not bastards. Unless this was an elaborate ruse to stage their legitimacy...

They also will learn that their Aunt Sarah, Uncle TJ and Grammy like to do the conga. You know you can't control yourself any longa.

Laura Bush Moment

"Somebody" doesn't like showing up in matching outfits.

Immediately after this, Lucy ensured a wardrobe change by making an offering to the poo-poo Gods.

Very Advanced (and rude)

Harper is quickly gaining life skills. She can already hold her own bottle AND flick me off at the same time.

Future Pop Princesses?

Their Daddy thinks this could be a candidate for their first album cover. As long as they don't inherit his musical ability.

It probably won't work b/c they are dressed in boy clothes - thanks to generous hand-me-downs from the Sharp triplets. Where's their blog?

They are both officially over 8 lbs! If what "the books" say is true, at 9 they can start sleeping through the night (fingers crossed). So far, I think our record is 6 hours.

Already fighting over a boy

On Sunday, Lucy and Harper paid a visit to their new friend Jack. Tall Daddy shot some video that you just have to check out.

Jack may have spit up on Lucy but she got back at him by having her weekly unload at his house. I am beginning to fear that Lucy has inherited her momma's penchant for having bio-disasters during special/inopportune occasions. My mom likes to tell the story about how on one of my first ever social visits I had a diaper explosion at her friend's house all over her friends daughter, playpen, toys and my white lace outfit. Then there was getting my period (for the first time) during the PSAT and a case of Montezuma's revenge at a Bachelorette party in Vegas. Do you know how far the bathrooms are from the blackjack tables??!! Oh, and I was wearing tight white capri pants. It was 1999, they were in. Poor Lucy.

Indulge Me

Is there anything cuter than a baby butt? Two baby butts.

Or two smiley baby faces.

Is this my future?

So, I joined this listserve for Austin Mothers of Multiples (AMOM) when I was pregnant, hoping to get the hookup for gently used twin gear and advice on how to get them onto a schedule. What I've actually gotten is upwards of 40 emails a day, only 2% are relevant to me. The rest terrify me. Recent discussion threads include:

"Can anyone leave Costco without spending at least $250?"
"Has anyone been to the new Ikea? Is it too crazy to go yet?"


Uhhh....am I becoming a SAHM who schedules her day around Costco trips? Yes. I am.

To relieve the stress of this view of my future, I was forced to spend several hours yesterday shopping and then receiving a Javanese Body Wrap at Daya Day Spa.
