Weather in San Diego

Well we were hit with our first 'storm' here in San Diego. It poured all day long on Monday, I didn't know what to do with myself and the babies because we always go for a morning walk and almost always hit a park in the afternoon. Tuesday wasn't too rainy but it was cold (like in the 40's). Then it rained all day Wednesday. I told my hubs yesterday that I hate the rain. He looked at me surprised and said "even after living in RI?" (where it rained A LOT). I informed him that this is why we moved to SUNNY San Diego. Well this morning we awoke to the return of some sunshine. So this morning I bundled up the babies (because it was still pretty cold) and we went on our morning walk. As you can see, both Parker and Penelope were glad to get some fresh air!!






A big thank you to Allison, a former roommate of mine, for the awesome hats that kept the kiddies' heads warm in our upper 40's degree weather :)

Sunday Dress

Well we have reason to celebrate, we actually made it in time for the opening song at church today. It has been (and will continue to be) a struggle to be on time because the babes don't wake up from their naps until 10:30am or 11am and church starts at 11am. We just do the best we can. Anyway, we took pics of the twinnies in their Sunday best and I thought I would post them. These pictures are mostly for my parents and my grandparents. The dress Penelope is wearing was a dress my grandparents sent to me as a baby, its from Europe where they were living at the time. So, grandma and grandpa, thanks for the dress, its the gift that keeps on giving!!

New Tricks

Sometimes I think we are raising puppies, we love teaching them new tricks and they (well mostly Parker) stare and whine when we eat in front of them. Here are a few new tricks they have learned.

One we are SO glad they have learned is they can feed themselves bottles:


Another we are not so excited about is they have learned to veg in front of the tv (ok, so sometimes we love this, particularly near bedtime so we can draw a bath and get bottles and pjs ready):

Aren't my couch potatoes cute!?!?!

Parker has recently learned to sit up and when we go to get him in the morning, he's usually sitting up in his crib like this:

Well this morning, this is what we found:

I think it may be time to lower the crib. Otherwise we are going to go in one morning and find Parker on the floor!!

In the meantime, Penelope has no desire to roll (she'll roll to her back only because she doesn't like to be on her belly) or sit up or crawl. But she has developed a love of books:


Her other new trick isn't so new, she works very hard on being so cute and frankly we think she is doing a FABULOUS job:

Naked Parker

By the title, you should realize that this video is probably not G or PG rated. In fact, I think it might almost be NC-17. You tell me.




Is he not the cutest boy ever!! He really is getting to the point where he can sit himself up. When I went in last night to get him (and feed him at 2:30am, yes, they still get up once a night to eat), he was sitting in the corner of his crib crying. We are now thinking of when we will have to lower the crib so when he pulls himself up, he won't be able to fall out of his crib.
