Today the boys saw Dr. B for their 6-month well child check. More shots (5 each!), more yucky "rotavirus juice", and all during naptime! The doctor was very impresed with their motor and social skills again, and they'll be back in January for part 2 of their flu shot.

Playing together
This is such a fun age to watch the boys the play. No matter where we place them down on the floor they always end up together. Playing so nicely together. I am truly blessed :))

Real Food
When we travelled this past month on our favorite cruise ship the Disney Magic, we used the Babies travel lite program and it supplied everything that we would need for the boys (food and diapers) on our seven days travel on the open seas. We are hoping that when we return in March to visit Mickey and Friends home, that the boys can enjoy their meals with us at dinner and experience some real food that WDW has to offer. We thought there was no time like the presence, with the holidays fastly approaching that we should give real food a try. Tonight was our first attempt with Rice and Squash...
As you can see from the pictures, I think it was an overall success :))

We're HOME !!!!
What a amazing trip, for the most part. We got home early this morning with these crazy flights, that Aaron book. Not complaining... promised I would not!
I will try to give you a trip report, but it will probably come after the holidays, because right now I am anxciously getting ready for the boys first Christmas :)) Which means decorating the house, baking cookies, and wrapping the hundred of presents I bought on this trip... but most importantly wait for our luggage to arrive!!!
Yes, our Luggage got lost in transition.... but at least for the most part it was just our clothes and non-important amenities. Thanking Aaron for packing our new purchases in our carrying-ons. It has me in panic mode, but the airline now has safely said our luggage is in Atlanta, GA and will be arriving in LA later today, so we should have it by tomorrow. At least, they did not lose the car seats and stroller. I don't know how we would of got home.

Our Next Great Adventure Starts Today :))
It is approximately 5:00 AM, as I sit at LAX waiting to board the plane for our big adventure on Mickey's Boat. The boys quietly sleep in their carseats, which we are glad because when we woke them up this morning at 3:00 AM, they were all smiles and giggles, just as excited as mommy and daddy are about this vacation.
We hoped they would fall back to sleep, and sleep as much as possible before we land in the most magical place of all Orlando, FL. Well they fell back to sleep a little sooner then expected...
We don't arrive to Orlando until 4:30 PM, due to a connection in Denver, can't complain those we got the airfare at a really reasonable deal, for the four of us.
Our big plan for the day; once we land at MCO, get our luggage, pick-up rent a car at Budget, head to our hotel (Residence Inn Cape Canaveral), meet Auntie Leslie for supper at 7:30 PM at Papa Vito's Pizza(hope we are not cranky), put the boys to sleep, go shopping at Wal-Mart for last minute essentials, go to bed and get up nice and early to board ...
Our cruise itinerary looks like this:
December 5th: Port Canaveral
December 6th: Sea Day
December 7th: Sea Day
December 8th: Tortola - excursion: island tour, beach and lunch
December 9th: St. Thomas - excursion: Butterfly Anytime
December 10th: Sea Day
December 11th: Castaway Cay
December 12th: Port Canaveral - hopefully Sea World
December 13th: Come home
Well that about covers it, they are about to call us up to board, I just hope I have everything...

A Snapshot of what they are up to....
- Ryder can sit. We even walk away from him (assuming he is on a soft surface!).
- Kyran is working on it and can sit fine when he wants to (for several minutes at a time even, if it's convenient for him to play while doing so), but doesn't often want to. He continues to prefer rolling across the house to get where he wants to go.
- Ryder gets into the most beautiful, textbook crawling position -- up high on straight arms, hips up, knees even tucked under him -- and then, when faced with something he would like to "come and get", he throws all extremities up in the air behind him, and "swims", quite ineffectively.
- Kyran continues to inchworm his way to things in front of him, but has recently started assuming a more crawl-friendly position. It won't be long now...
- Both boys are transferring items from hand to hand as they "should be", without difficulty. They even do so with such a purpose as to get a toy farther away from their brother because, yes, they are seriously already fighting over whatever toy the other one has in his little hands.
- Both boys are chattering with consonants now, but usually just when they're upset -- "maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam.....". Raspberries and spit bubbles still continue, of course!
- They continue to take 6 ounces of formula per bottle, 4 times per day. They also eat 2 ounces of Stage 2 baby food (if you recall, we skipped stage 1) and have made it through all of the "single ingredient" foods with just the one incident (Ryder's reaction to the squash).
- They both still absolutely adore Thea, and will usually prefer her over human faces now. Ryder gets incredibly excited and lunges at her, whereas Kyran will sit with a gaping mouth and just stick his hand out while Thea smothers him with wet kisses.
- They continue to sleep wonderfully at night, but naps are a different story. Apparently, for the last 2 weeks, they've had this notion that after one 45-minute sleep cycle, they don't need to fall back asleep. Aaron and I (and their temperaments) completely disagree. We're crossing our fingers that it's a "time of rapid development", as Dr. B put it, and they'll be back to normal in no time. My laundry piles will thank them!
We are so excited to share Christmas with them, and will be sure to take plenty of pictures!
