Holly and JD’s room is filled with stuff. Stuff that should be stored in a closet or somewhere else but unfortunately we don’t have room so it must stay in their room. We have rolls of wrapping paper stacked next to Holly’s crib. I’ve heard her play with the paper before and never moved it. The other morning I heard paper being crinkled and babies making happy noises. When Jim and I went to see what they were up to this is what we found.

P.S. I think I jinxed myself. Holly was up every two hours last night. I think she had a stomach ache because this morning when she woke up she smelled like puke and her sheets were stained. Poor girl. Hopefully tonight goes better, I have a feeling it will!

First off, Holly and JD both slept the entire night. Oh to have a full night of sleep! The last time that happened was a long time ago!! I hope I don’t jinx myself!! JD has been going strong for a little bit now and Holly was waking up. Last night we put the fleece jammies back on because it has been a bit chilly at night and that seemed to do the trick. So at Costco tonight we picked up a couple pairs for them. They look so cute and fresh!

I’ve been trying to teach the babies new things all the time. Sometimes I wonder how much they really understand and pick up. Baby sign language is one of those. We have been practicing more for a looong time. Recently they have been doing it ‘more’ often and today it was amazing to see that they did the ‘more’ sign perfect! Jim has also been trying to teach the babes words and because JD loves basketballs, big bouncy balls, footballs, he taught JD how to say ball. And it took him a few seconds to learn it. Now JD says it all the time and it just melts my heart! I can’t wait to see/hear the other things they learn.

Gone are the days that I can shower or go to the bathroom and come out into the living room to find Holly and JD content and playing with their toys or watching their music video. Here are the days that I come in to find them into something. Thankfully it’s not anything that can cause a huge mess and they aren’t hurting each other. I am learning that Holly is more the instigator and JD likes to follow her. A few days ago I found Holly digging in the church bag and out popped her hand with an apple. It’s healthy, she has teeth, no big deal. So I let her chomp away. When she was through she handed to JD so he could have a few chomps.

Holly’s new favorite thing to do is to climb up on the couch, ottoman, our laps, you name it she’s climbing! We keep diapers, wipes, kleenex boxes, and the computer on top of the couch because the babes couldn’t get to them. That is not so much the case anymore. I gave the babies a little snack to eat while I showered and when I came out into the living room it was quiet. I found JD eating kleenex, well he mostly sucks on it and sticks his tongue out so I can get the little pieces out of his mouth. Holly on the other hand is sitting on the couch pulling tissue after tissue out of the box. She was totally surrounded by them and all the while with a grin on her face! I just love these babies kids.
