That is the question for my upcoming drive this evening. We have only been to WR once since the babies were born and my sister came down and helped me take them there, she took William and I had Emily. I did drive back with them by myself, but this trip it's just me. I HOPE they are going to cooperate, they dont' always like sitting in their seats for overly long periods of time...but we'll just have to make due.
William was getting up on his knees last night and then he'd fall to the side. He looks like he wants to move so bad, he just can't quite get it yet. He is also into choking himself, he puts all of his fingers in his mouth and then he gags. I think he thinks it's a game.
More to come after the trip!

One night getaway
My wonderful husband planned a night away for us on Saturday night, for my birthday. We left yesterday at 9:45am and got home today about 11:45 or so, so we were away from the babies for almost exactly 26 hours. Billy has been away from them before, but of course I have not, and while I was slightly nervous about it, I knew they were in great hands, and everything would be fine, which of course it was.
So anyway, we went to Daytona Beach and stayed in the Hilton right on the beach. It was really nice and in a great location. I actually wished we had a few days to explore and do all of the fun stuff that we were in the middle of, but we'll just have to do that next time. We got some beach time, which was nice, even though we are both burnt. Then we came in, cleaned up a little, had a little snack and walked around to explore. We rode cable cars out over the pier and back. Thought about doing the human sling shot thing, but then decided to save our money for other things. We ate ice cream. We watched TV and ordered room service. Slept WITHOUT a monitor on! :-) It was just nice being away. We missed the babies a lot, talked about them a lot, thought about them alot...but Mama and Daddy need their time too, and I'm a firm believer that husbands and wives MUST find time for themselves. So far, I'm learning that is easier said than done sometimes, lol, but we do our best.
So far, 30 is treating me well. I had a pizza party on my actual BD, and got to visit with family and my best friend and her hubby. We had our trip, then today, I had a little surprise BD gathering at B's parents house. Billy and Christie had been planning it, and while we got home a little earlier than planned, it worked out well, and I thought it was really nice of everyone to come over and celebrate my BD.
So now we are home, babies are napping, and we are cleaning up our stuff, gearing up for the work week. Happy Sunday!

Marley and Me
I think this was one of the saddest movies EVER! Billy put it on while we were all just hanging out on the floor, playing, and I did get interested in the movie, even though I wasn't in the mood to watch it. By the time the end rolled around, William was in bed, and I was nursing Emily, just boo-hooing. I had tears running down my face, hitting HER in the face, and she kept pulling back and just looking at me, like " WHAT are doing mom?" I had her up burping her and again, still crying (yes I was trying not to, but anyone who has seen the movie knows that is almost impossible), and she turned her head and put her little hand on my face. I'm sure she just did it out of habit, but it was so sweet and made my feel better. My sweet baby girl...
Anyway, she is being very loud these days, screeching and just yelling. Sometimes she does it over and over. She is also perfecting her squeal which is really cute, but also a sign that is going to expect to get her way. All the time.
William is just a roly poly, all over the place. He goes from here to there, not always back becausae he has a tendency to roll just one way, but he can def. move. Last night we left them alone for just a minute, and I came back in the room to find that he had found Billy's headphones on the ground and picked them up and was eating the cord. Billy said he wouldn't mess with any of the computer stuff, but we found that he did! Imagine that!
Today is my last day before crossing over into the new decade. This time tomorrow, well almost this time tomorrow, I will be 3-0!!!! EEEEEk! No worries though, all is well. Nothing could be better in my life unless I won the small lottery, and even then, it might not be any better.
Happy Wednesday!

Men VS Women
From an e-mail that Billy sent to me this morning:
"I forgot to tell Kristy that Emily was asleep on our bed."
I simply copy and pasted this...
Um, Ok. Daddy needs to be sure that he tells the baby-sitter where the child IS!!! Lol, I immediately called her and she said she had found Emily. Lovely. You gotta love the Daddys.
Emily got her first yoga outfit and we tried it on last night. She's very cute, if I do say so myself.
We also have pro-wrestlers on our hands. Since both of the babies move so much now, especially William, they like to play together and roll around all over the place, and onto each other! They were "playing" last night, and here are a few pictures. I also took a video. It was very funny to see them interacting and pulling/tugging on each other!

Baby smiles = World Peace
This morning while nursing William, he pulled away and made his "agee" sound, along with a little spit, with his eyes completely closed and a big grin on his face. It was the funniest thing.
I have decided that if everyone could start their day with a smile like a baby has in the morning, the world would be a happier place.

A little Jaguar package
The other night, Emily was fussy, her suit was soaking wet, so I undressed her and wrapped her in this big, wooly Jaguar blanket. She immediately hushed and I scooped her up and "delivered" her to Billy, telling him this was his special Jaguar package. It was so cute, she just looked around, with just her eyes peeking out...all for about 5 mins! Oh well, the next time she is fussy, I'm going to do it again!
Both babies are learning to spit more. Emily is starting to spit a little while she eats. William spits more when he is just laying around, playing, and it's so funny to watch their mouths form and try for something to happen, and to be surprised when it actually does.
Emily has started being a bit more vocal and soemtimes she is quite loud. Our baby boy does NOT like loud sounds, he gets startled very easy, and sometimes when Emily is chatting/yelling, he will cry - it's really not funny, but it's making me chuckle to think about it. His little lip pokes out and his face just crumples up and he immediately starts crying.
They are both turning over quite well now. William does much better on his tummy, and will stay that way more than Emily does. She goes over to her tummy very often, but she can't get back over quite as well. She has gotten stuck many times, and doesn't like that one bit.
I was trying to think of a few little stories to share, but they are not coming so easily right now...I need to blog about them right when they happen and I'm going to commit to doing that! I know I've said that 100 times, but I mean it this time!
I'm starting the count down...9 days left in my 20's...EEEEEEK! 30 is knocking, LOUDLY, on my door.
Happy Tuesday!
