Justice Speaks!

Justice after his shots

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!

Sleepy Jasmine

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

Jasmine and Justice 6 Months Young

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

Justice's 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

Jasmine waiting patiently

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

Justice sleeping

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 giving [...]

Back to Reality

Having fun at dinner

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!

Holiday Picture

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 [...]

Merry Christmas 2009!

From our family to yours, we wish you a Happy Holiday!  As for us, we have had a lot of happy moments in-between a lot of hard times.  It’s almost been 5 months now.  Yes, they surely have grown!  This month we have seen more development with Justice and Jasmine.
It seems this month they realized [...]
