A Day At The Park

Not much happened this weekend.  However, it was a great weekend to be outside.  We took full advantage and took Justice and Jasmine to the nearby park.  We are fortunate enough to live walking distance to one of the biggest parks in our area.
The park has two dog parks, several baseball fields, a huge open [...]

Yappity Jasmine

Jasmine is on a roll this week – Look Who’s Talking Now.  When she was quite, we were wondering when she might start talking.  Now that she’s talking, we’re wondering when she’ll stop lol.  Not because she’s talking too much, but because she’s loud.  We have to ’shhhh’ her especially when it comes time to [...]

Look Who’s Talking Now

For the last two weeks Justice has been rambling on about ‘Dada‘ and ‘Mama‘.  This week was Jasmine’s turn.  She was holding a conversation with me at Olive Garden.  It’s as if she realized she had a voice and wanted to hear herself talk.  I wonder if this is a sign of things to come [...]

Justice Speaks Again!

Justice is on a roll!  Last week he said his first recognizable word, ‘Dada!’.  Yesterday he finally said, ‘Mama!’.   Again, I was lucky enough to be home to capture the moment.  We are very happy with his progress.
Jasmine is getting there.  Yesterday she started to babble just like Justice did right before he said, ‘Dada!’.  [...]

If Grandpa Could See You Now

One of the toughest things about our situation is being away from our parents.  Ebru’s family is in Istanbul and my dad is in the Philippines.  Both sides of the family are just too far.  We do what we can to bring our families closer to Justice and Jasmine.
Last Christmas we sent my dad a [...]

Justice Speaks!

Finally Justice’s baby babble has turned into recognizable speech.  At 6 months and 10 days Justice finally said ‘Dada!’.  He repeated it enough times for us to capture it on my iPhone.

We were excited to be there when he said his first words.   Hopefully his next words will be ‘Mama!’.
It’s too bad his night time [...]

Half Way There!

Last week they officially passed their 6 month milestone!  Wednesday they go for the 6 month immunization shots and check up.  We’re guessing that they are about 16lbs each and about 30 inches tall.  We think that is above the normal for kids in their age group, especially for twins.
This week we continued feeding them [...]

A Break in the Clouds

Today Justice and Jasmine are just short of their 6 month birthday!  Sunday is their official birthday. We have high hopes for this milestone, but also setting our expectations low so we don’t disappoint ourselves.
This week we’ve seen some interesting improvements despite both of them being sick with the cold. First of all, [...]

Justice and Jasmine’s First Haircut

After 9 days of straight rain in Elk Grove we decided to weather the storm and go out to run errands last weekend.  Part of our weekend run included trips to Panera Bread, Target, and Nugget.  This weekend we happened to be near Cool Cuts 4 Kids and decided to get Justice and Jasmine a [...]
