Rolling Update

Both babies are officially rolling over all the time. they even try to roll over eachother.

Eat Up!

We are starting to give Bella and Tristan rice cereal. Since it is not nutrtionally necessary, it is just to get them used to eating and for fun and in hopes that it will keep them full longer at night. That was the results with Lilly, anyway. So, much to my surprise, Bella ate way better than Tristan. She slurped it all down quickly. He kept getting his tongue in the way and couldn't coordinate his mouth very well. Not that he didn't like it, he just prefers mommy milk stait from the source to waiting for each bite from a spoon. They are both getting better each night but Bella still wakes up at night. Tristan most nights sleeps through the night. But some nights they take turns waking up every couple hours. Needless to say, I am perfecting the laying down possition while feeding, cause I am a zombie in the middle of the night.

Trick-or treat

This year we actually took Lilly out in the streets to trick-or-treat. She was dressed as her favorite cartoon character, Kailan. Bella was a pink kitten which is very fitting for her cute face and personality. Tristan was a dragon and that is good for him, too. He loves to scowl and grunt. It was fun and Lilly had a blast going door to door.

Painting

I have been spending lots of my few and precious free time painting my kids' rooms. First, I painted Lilly's room purple (or as she likes to call it, "purplicious" {such a fun book}). Then we found these cute sparkly appliques for her walls. I moved her to the other room and now put the twins by our room. I then painted their room bright green and got ambitious and painted animals on their walls. I got them a second crib finally, because they started to crowd eachother. And now I moved them to sleep in their own room. I only wish they would sleep longer every night.

Bonding

Our babies have been noticing eachother more, lately. It is so cute to see them stare at eachother. I can't wait till they can interact and play together.

Big Boy

Tristan already rolled over a few weeks ago. And the next day he was rolling more and more. He rolls both ways now. He is definatly developing faster than Lilly did. Bella rolls to her stomach but still can't get her arm out from under her. And she rolled from her stomach to back on accident once. Soon I am going to be chasing them around. Life is about to get real interesting.

Pumpkin Pictures and Spooky Jammies

I love dressing my kids in holiday outfits. So they all had Halloween jammies. I also love to do pumpkin pictures. So fun and festive.

I'm Gonna Miss....

I'm gonna miss these chubby legs this fall and winter. I love little chubby baby legs so much. They are so soft and cute and rolly polly.

Fire Trucks and Pumpkin Patch

It was fire safety week a couple weeks ago and the library had Firemen come and have a presentation for the kids. Lilly loves hearing fire trucks go by and says they are going to help someone. And she sometimes says she wants to be a firefighter. So I thought she would enjoy seeing the firetruck.

We took the kids to Stehli Farm for family night and we had a lot of fun. They have a pumpkin patch and hay ride and other fun things for kids. It was a good night.

I LOVE FALL

I have been buying these small pumpkins for years now, to make my first pumpkin pie of the season. I always look forward to when they get them in the produce department so I can plan when to make one and devour it with my family. Too bad my little ones can't eat it yet, they are missing out. Lilly loves to bake with me and we have fun together.
