Long time coming...
The girls are just so amazing and keeping me incredibly busy! They are all over the place and really getting little personalities.
Alex is my little stinker. She is constantly stealing things from Keegan and knows exactly what she is doing. Our days usually consist of me telling her to give Keegan's ___(toy, binky, food, sippy, etc) back. She runs away with her new prize held above her head. She is very smart too. She knows if a gate is left open immediately and will sprint to it and go through it and try to make it up the stairs.
Sunday, Alex and Keegan's cousins were in town and boy..it was trouble. Alex and Emmie were partners in crime. Emmie opened the door to the garage, Alex crawled out and then sprinted to the driveway and street! I was so scared. Thank goodness Jack (oldest cousin) told us very quickly and we got her!
Keegan is just hilarious. She is very into making funny faces and sticking her tongue out. She is also our talker. She is constantly talking to us. I know she is saying something, I just can't figure out what she is saying. Usually, you can hear lalala lalala coming out of her mouth. It's her favorite saying.
We have also managed to stay somewhat healthy, just a few colds. I am starting to FREAK about about swiney...I do not want the girls to get this, but I am not to sure about this shot thing. If it is even available....

Cheated?
Do twins sometimes get cheated?
I ask because today was such a beautiful day. I thought that it would be so fun to take the girls to the park. Then I realized that there are two of them and one of me. Maybe we would be fine, but all signs pointed to chaos. They are both still small and would need help. And, they really enjoy sprinting in opposite directions.
But, maybe, just maybe...I am the problem. I was scared. Should I face my fears and just go?

Who needs diapers??
Alex has now figured out how to take off her diaper. We may be in trouble.
This afternoon, I had stripped her down to change clothes when she took off. I had Keegan with me, so I just dressed her first. Then I turned around and saw a cute little bare butt take off. My first thought was to run and get the camera...Then I realized, I should probably cover her up. TOO LATE!
I found her diaper and a puddle of pee right next to it...on our carpeting. Good thing winter is coming, no running free with no clothes on for her. I just hope she doesn't figure out how to take her pants off!

15 month check up
My girls are too funny...and too cute. We have had a very busy week. We had to go to the doctor's for their 15 month check up. They are doing so great. The doctor seemed happy with their progress, but not so happy with me =) He wants them off the bottle and told me I am not allowed to give the girls milk if they wake up only a couple hours after bedtime.
We decided to go cold turkey on the bottles. We were only using them at naptimes and bedtime, so it hasn't been too difficult. I couldn't be more happy about it. We were using Dr. Brown's bottles and there are just so many parts.
One the nighttime feeding front...I am still not totally on board with the doctor. With the girls still be so small, I feel like it's good for them to get some extra nutrition. He told us that they need to go 8 hours without a feeding and that we could go in a feed them at 3-4. My thought is, what difference does it make then...if we go in at 10 and then they sleep to 7?
I am still trying to figure out how to watermark photos and will then be putting some up!

Who you crappin...
It's the first Bears game of the season, so I thought this Ditka quote was a great one to use...
My girls' were born early...10 weeks to be exact. They did so awesome, but were of course tiny when they were born. That was 15 months ago, and you know what? They are still small for their age. Dr. B says that they are thriving and doing awesome. That they are just small.
So, my favorite thing...or not...is when people constantly tell me how small they are. Duh, like I didn't know that. Then comes all the questions....
But my all time fav happened last week. I ran into a former co-worker who had her daughter around the same time as me. She sees the girls and tells me..."oh they are SOOO big!" And, she wasn't saying it in that "oh they have grown so much since the last time I saw them"...no she just wanted to talk and talk about how big her little girl is, how much she is eating, sleeping, etc.
Who you crappin lady? I understand being proud of your children, but don't bring them up under false pretenses...like you really think the girls are SOO big...
