95 degrees? No thanks, we'll stay inside today.

I watched the weather forecast (and checked www.weather.com) and it said that today could get up to 95 degrees, and that it was going to feel like it was 102. Hmmm, lots of fun ideas popped into my head, like, "maybe we could set up the baby pool after going for a short walk". Or, "wouldn't it be fun to lay outside on a blanket in the shade". Then reality sunk in and I came to my senses, "HECK NO! IT'S WAY TOO HOT!" So the girls and I decided to stay in. I deemed today, the day we will work on sitting up. So, out came the Bumbo chairs! Hopefully tomorrow will be a little cooler so we can go outside and enjoy a walk and some time on the deck.

What are we doing for fun these days?

Well, since the girls are still eating every 3-4 hours, it's kinda hard to do a whole lot. So we tend to stay close to home. Walks to the pond are a daily occurrence, weather permitting of course! When we do stray away, it's quite the production to make sure we have everything we need. One would think we were going away for a week with the amount of stuff we pack! Some of our longer journeys (more than 2 hrs.) include heading down to the nursing home to visit Cory's grandparents, over to grandma's pool for a BBQ or fish fry, or hanging our with friends and family. Oh, and we went to the Como Zoo for the first time this past weekend... that was fun!

Around the house we like to have tummy time and twin time. Yes, there is a difference! Tummy time is, well, playing on the tummies! Twin time is when the girls lay on their backs and play with each other. They're not quite aware of each other yet, but every now and then they catch each others eye or grab an arm or nightie. They like to play in their exersaucers and they're starting to sit in their Bumbo chairs. All of this "baby" lingo, I know, don't worry, you'll catch on! In between all of that playtime, we sing songs, read books (which they LOVE) and of course, NAP! And after a long day of giggles, cries and yawns, both of the girls enjoy a swing ride. But most of all, they love snuggling up with their mama and dad!

This is how we roll!

Tummy time!

Dani a blogger? Why not!

Sooo~ I'm a little new to all of this. Over at babysites.com, I was running out of space for all of my lovely photos, and didn't feel like forking out any bucks to keep it up and running. So I thought I would give blogging a try. A free and easy way to communicate with all of our friends and family out there in cyberspace. Be patient with me please! This is definitely a work in progress! To start out~ here's a few cutie pictures :)

 Izzy and Ava are getting better at "tummy time"

 Izzy doesn't stay on her tummy long, she's learned how to roll over!
