My twins

Last Thursday, Rach and I met up with Megan at UB north campus for a little treat. When I picked Rach up, we had to laugh because our kiddos were in the exact same outfit. How embarrassing! :) She forgot to bring her stroller, which actually worked out just fine, because we realized that they both fit great in just one. When we walked into the student center, these two stole the show. They were instant hits and had no shortage of admirers.

I attempted to balance the camera on the stroller and start the timer, but I never made it back around before the camera tipped over, due to the wiggles of the babies. So here's the beautiful Rach and Meg enjoying their Jambas! Buffalo is seriously lacking in smoothie and frozen yogurt joints, so even though it's just a mini version of the real store, we are grateful for UB opening up a Jamba!

On our way out, a girl stopped to tell us that word was buzzing around the offices now that there were two cute babies in the student center. We were some pretty proud mamas. :)


We keep a gate at the base of the stairs, but every once in a while I forget to put it up and I'll be doing the dishes or something when I hear giggles (he always giggles when he gets to the top because he knows he's being naughty and shouldn't be up there) and I'll realize he's climbed the stairs. Well this time I round the corner to see a pair of pants climbing the stairs. But where are the legs? I posed him back on the stairs for the picture, but I guess his sagging pants were hindering his ascent, so he wiggled right out of them, then finished his business. Maybe this was one of those "had to be there" moments, but the pants just looked so funny perched on the stairs as though they were mid-climb.

A little about this guy....
he's still holding strong to his ear fettish. Who needs a security blanket when you have ears? He's almost always clutching them in his car seat or when he's watching TV. Or really, anytime.... tired, excited, sad. I think it's pretty endearing. He's also caught on to signing. That's a big breakthrough! He still screams for food, but if I remind him, he'll appease me with a {more} sign. We'll work on it. He also LOVES to give high fives. When I'm feeding him, he'll only take one bite, then reach for my hand to give him high five. He also loves to wave hi or goodbye. I'm actually not too excited about this one, because it gives strangers a reason to stop and touch him when he's flagged them down at the store with a wave. I don't mind visiting with the occasional doting grandparent at Wegmans, but they add up quick and so does time spent at the store.


And in case anyone is looking for a fun {weekend} activity........

... we manage to stay completely entertained throwing popcorn at each other. It all started with a carb craving and ended up being an hour long {food fight}. The goal was to make it into each other's mouths, but that rarely happened. Of course, when it did, we cheered like we had hit a home run. Then the magical moment happened when we decided to both throw at the same time, and on the first try we BOTH got it in our mouths. I know, I know. Talent like that can't be taught. Don't be too jealous of our exciting and romantical evenings together.

Your romantic evenings look like ours. =) Isn't it funny what having to stay home with kids will do to you. Well Collin is getting so big and he is so cute. I really want to squeeze his cheeks. So you never told me if and when you guys are visiting this summer?? I know you normally go and do the beach trip so I was just wondering if you are coming to AZ anytime soon. =)
