Still love the Playground!

The boys went to a playground with a few other twin buddies and we put all the babies into the toddler swings. Of course, Drew and Jake were all smiles and giggles while they were swinging. I guess they still love the way their bellies jump when they are swinging. ha ha.

Videos of the Mover and the Shaker

Here is a recent video of Jake showing off his army crawl and sitting up. Check it out:

And just this morning, he decided to pull himself up to a standing position. Neither daddy or mommy actually saw him in action. We both turned had our backs for a minute and when we looked back, he was standing up and holding on to the ottoman. Yes, we know we are in trouble now.
And Drew decided that "Chica", a little birthday chicken on a day time kids talk show, was the most hilarious thing ever. He just kept laughing everytime the little chicken would make a noise. He even loses his balance a few times while watching it. It was too cute to not catch on video.

A Few Updates

So over the vacation, a few things have come up. First, Drew has another tooth on the bottom. He now has 7 teeth. Jake doesn't seem to have any signs of another one coming in, but I'm sure if history repeats itself, it will be showing up very soon.
Jake actually sat up for the very time completely on his own on Friday. Daddy and Poppy saw it happen, but Mommy completely missed it and has yet to see it. Jake now army crawls and scoots all over the place. Today he even made it all the way to the bowl of dog food and had a little taste before Mommy caught him.
Drew has started rocking back and forth on his hands and knees, but still has not really moved like Jake. He could probably keep up with him by rolling over and over though. He has become quite the master roller and backwards scooter (no legs involved).

Outer Banks Vacation!

We just got back from a week at the Outer Banks. The boys loved their vacation. They had a lot of fun with Nana and Poppy at the beach and in the pool. We also spent time with Brandon, Lauren, Aunt Carrie, Uncle Jason, and cousins; Trevor, Lilly, and Ryan.
Drew and Jake also spent some time with our friends Jamie, Christy, Sean, and Deanna. Drew and Jake both have a new favorite girlfriend and that would be Deanna. She was soooooo much help while we were at the beach house. It was so great to have her there to help change, feed, hold, and entertain both babies.
We basically spent almost every day on the beach after our morning nap and at the pool just before our afternoon nap. And after dinner on some days we went for long walks back to the beach or just to the town of duck (to watch cars drive by -yes, they love to watch anything with wheels move, especially if it makes noise).
On the first day on the beach, Drew got knocked over by a wave and sort of didn't really like being anywhere near the water the rest of the week. By the last day, though, he did sit in a chair while being held wihtout any whining or crying. Jake, on the other hand, just wanted to eat all the sand.

We had a great time, but are pretty happy to be back home!

Jake (sort of ) says Mama on video

We finally caught Jake saying "mama" on video. Of course, he is saying it over and over again so I'm not too sure if he knows what he is saying or not... but it is still cute enough to post.

University of MD - First Football game

The boys attended their first Terps football game and they did great! The only problem was the extreme heat (humidity), but otherwise we all had a great time!

Now we are looking forward to the rest of the season when it will cool down.

Jake actually fell asleep and stayed asleep during all the cheering and crazy drunkards surrounding us.

Jumperoo Excitement

The boys really go crazy in the jumperoo's now. We have them on their highest setting and unfortunately they are just about too tall for them! They just have too much fun though to get rid of them yet.
