Mini's Shower

We celebrated Erica and Luke's baby, "Mini", yesterday. My Mom did the decor (and hosted at her house). I hosted with a few of Erica's great girlfriends. Mini's theme is baseball, and we had so much fun decorating! We can't wait for Mini to arrive in April!

Olivia was worn out after the party

Look at those chubby babies!  Erica and Luke were such cute babies!

We love the nice weather!

The tunnel (don't tell Lola we took it)

Owen and Olivia had their first shared bath time Sunday night.  It seemed to go ok.  They both had some good laughs as the other got washed.  It was good to have a nice quiet weekend at home.  They've both more or less readjusted from life on the road.  

O&O also borrowed a new toy from Lola.  It's a tunnel.  Lola wasn't too pleased we stole her toy from her, we had to sneak it out in between her dramatic outcries to save her precious tunnel.  Owen cried the first time he realized he was in the middle of the thing, but he's since figured out how to get from one end to the other.  Olivia was actually the first one to go end to end, so proud to be the first at something finally.  

Owen won't really touch baby food any more, all he wants to eat is big people food, particularly if you are eating it as well.  Too bad he doesn't have a few more teeth to chew all this food with, but he does what he can.  He's also officially saying "dada" so I guess I win the best parent award for the month.  We're working on Olivia's babbling, she's just a bit behind.  

The twins had also been complaining so much recently about the small size of the TV downstairs, so I went out and got a new one Sunday, they're much happier about the bigger screen for Baby Einstein.  I'm glad they're happy about it, anything to keep them happy. But now their complaining about not having an iPad, guess we'll have to fix that too....

New things on the horizon

I really can't believe Owen and Olivia are 10 months old.  And I am sure we have been saying all along - they are changing so much!  Recently, I've been thinking about all of the huge changes that are coming in the next few months.  Here are a few things we'll be saying Hello and Goodbye to soon!

Binkies (at least it's suggested that we get rid of them, we'll see what actually happens!)

Hello:

Forward facing carseats (we are now the proud owners of 4 new carseats, just waiting for the 1st birthday!)
