We have been having good days lately, and that makes me feel happy. The babies are just changing so much and I just feel like the time is slipping away. I cannot believe they are almost 6 months old!!!! EEK! Please, slow down!
Billy made them do this!

Nothing much

I must be feeling nostalgic today, I keep sending Billy old pictures of the babies, and I'm looking thru some here. So today I will post some pictures of the babies that used to be so tiny, many of which you have never seen before. I should be a little more productive today, but for some reason, I'm not feeling it! Such is life!

The first

Time that Emily and William rode on a pony. We went to a Blueberry Festival on Saturday and they were giving pony rides to little kids on little ponies. We couldn't resist, so we took a turn too!

Time that William had cereal. I think most of it ended up on his bib, it was very runny. We'll be trying again tonight and will also be trying with Emily.

Time that both babies tried out the Rainforest Jumperoo. They both seemed to enjoy it, though their legs are quiiiite long enough to make it "jump." I think they'll like it though, as they get bigger.

Time that we had to call the doctor because William had a fever. He's fine. They were not helpful. At all. I think I might have to complain, even though that's not really in my nature. The after-hours person was very unhelpful and not even nice.

This has been a weekend of firsts!!!! Happy Sunday!

6 Things

1. We went to St. Augustine on my annual family vacation from 5/27 - 5/31. Me and the babies went, it's only an hour away, and stayed in the trailer with my family. It was fun, very different from my regular vacations, but it was nice. The babies went to the beach for the first time, and even though they didn't get in the water, or really outside of their hut at all, I think they enjoyed it. Both napped, at different times of course, and hopefully once they get a little bigger, and they are able to be outside a bit more, we'll go back. I was terrified of them getting sunburned, so they were covered at all times. Well, most times.

2. William rolled over while we were there. It was definitely a fluke roll though, I wasn't even sure what had happened! I layed him down on his tummy and within like 10 seconds, he was on his back! I had to ask myself, Did I really lay him on his tummy? But I did, he just rolled right over. He hasn't done it since though.

3. Emily is talking more and more. Her little sounds are new and wonderful and very funny to hear. Billy was quite surprised when he came down to SA on Saturday night and heard her making all of these new noises.

4. And speaking of Billy and Emily - she pooped on his pants at dinner on Saturday night! Lol - it was GREAT! I know, that's mean to say, but it was really funny. He was feeding her and he thought she'd gone to the bathroom, and I told him, you better check her ( she has a habit of leaking). So he did and sure enough, poop was coming out the top of the dipaer, and then when he picked her up, there was poop all over one leg of his shorts. Hehe, I took her to change her, but there was no changing table in the bathroom, so out we went to the car, where she was changed in the trunk. She thought this was very funny.

5. We have been going on more outings. We went out to eat every night we were in SA, and then we also went to Outback last night, with Aunt Christie and her friends. I am trying to be less stressed about outings, and it's working. It's getting a tad easier each time. I will try to do more and more as the weeks go by.

6. Both babies are definitely teething. They have fists/fingers in their mouths at all times, and they are drooling machines! William is starting to like to have cold stuff on his gums and both have had runny noses. I'm waiting for a tooth to pop thru at any time.

I guess that's it for now, just a quick post to update on the vacation. I'm sure there are stories I'm leaving out, I'll post as I think of them. Happy Tuesday!

Happy Memorial Day!

Right after she rolled






Thank heavens for leaky diapers!

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see my baby girl roll over for the first time!
She had a leaky diaper that I discovered in the morning when she ate, and I had her on the floor on a blanket changing her gown. She was rocking back and forth a little, so I let her hang out there for a minute and over she went! I think it may have been a fluke, because she hasnt' done it since, but it was still her first time. Memorial Day, 5:33am!
I took her picture right after it happened, and posed the clock with her, but those pictures are at home, I'll have to post them later.
I just wanted to share our little milestone!
