Yappity Jasmine

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

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 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, [...]

If Grandpa Could See You Now

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 [...]

Justice Speaks!

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 [...]

Half Way There!

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 [...]

A Break in the Clouds

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, they [...]

Justice and Jasmine’s First Haircut

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 [...]

What Baby Books Left Out

What Baby Books Left Out

Well it’s been over 5 1/2 months now and it still hasn’t gotten better. In fact it’s gotten worse. Either that or I am so tired that my whole prospective on life and parenting has turned upside down. I’m drained and exhausted!

Restless in Elk Grove

Restless in Elk Grove

The madness never ends.  Just when we think they’ll sleep through the night, bamm!  They don’t!  There have been a few exceptions, but not enough to catch up on our sleep. We have done everything imaginable from filling them with formula and mommy’s milk before sleep, playing with them all day, swaddling them, and even [...]

Back to Reality

Back to Reality

Wish I was writing about our fantastic vacation in Hawaii or something like that, but it’s not the case at least not this time around.  For the last two weeks I’ve been home watching the kids and trying to have a normal Holiday.  What it turned out to be was just another day except with [...]

Happy New Year 2010!

Happy New Year 2010!

Before we get into the New Year, we’d just like to take a moment to reflect on 2009.  It was a year of ups and downs.  We rode out the bad economy while having Justice and Jasmine.  Sure, timing could have been better, but we don’t really control these things do we.  I guess it [...]
