Catching up!

Sorry I've been remiss in updating our blog! Last week Chris's mom came to visit on Tuesday - Friday. Grandma Kathy had a great time with the babies--feeding them, changing their diapers, and even getting up with them in the middle of the night! I had to go to Las Vegas Wednesday - Friday, so I was only here for one day and a morning with her before I had to go. Alicia also came to visit, Thursday - Saturday, so I got to see her Friday night and Saturday morning. The babies were very happy to get to spend time with their Grandma and Auntie Alicia.

Matthew and Thomas had their first big people food this week, too. They had organic brown rice cereal. They did really well and liked it! They wore a lot of it, too, but that's OK. Matt went swimming with his mommy last evening. He didn't quite know if he liked it or not, but he didn't cry, at least. We're going to take both of them in this pool this evening. Thomas was in the gym today and rolled over from his back to his stomach and went to sleep! Matt rolled over once, when he was on the couch. Matthew is very loud and makes lots of noise. Thomas is still pretty quiet, but he talks a little, too.

We re-arranged our bedroom and moved the crib away from my side of the bed and over by the door. Now, I can more easily get in and out of bed. Having the crib there seemed like a good idea at first, but it didn't turn out very well. When they cried, I always had to get up and feed them anyway, so it didn't really help to have the crib within arm's reach. Plus, the babies mostly sleep apart so as not to wake each other up--one in the crib and one in a swing, or both in the swings. But, last night we put both of them in the crib, and they did fairly well. We need to get them used to sleeping in their cribs. One of these days, we'll move them up to their nursery to sleep.

Bye for now. Love, j&c, m&t
