Chillin'

The boys were very hyper last night, Aaron was pulling another late night, and I knew that they would not go to bed easily for me, but I had to finish packing to head home to Nashville for Easter. I decided to turn on Baby Einstein and see if they would relax enogh to lay on their bobby's. It worked like a miracle !!

Future Pianists

Our neighbour's from across the street are moving ;(( and asked us to help store some of their belongings while they work on getting their new house settled, and we were glad to help, especially their piano, which is an antique and gorgeous, and don't the boys absolutely look adorable playing at it.

Never a dull moment in our life!

Well, life has returned to normal in our household. Aaron is putting in 12 hrs days again right now, the boys have been becoming more mobile by the minute (growing up too fast), which leaves this mommy with very little time. At least Aaron has been going into work later, so he gets to spend all morning with the boys, which frees up some of my time, but he is not getting home till about 11:00 at night. At least he has stated he is not working Saturday and Sundays anymore.

It will eventually, slow down, he calls it vacation catch-up, but then again we are packing again, to head home for Easter and visit the family, which is long overdue, so who knows when it will slow down.

On a happier note, I was out shopping with the boys yesterday, and found the perfect bookself for them. Just see for yourself:

We're Home!!!!

We got home yesterday! Which most of you know already, thank you everyone for all the e-mails, during the trip, Aaron and I really appreciated all of them, considering all the highs and lows of this trip. Most of you know already I was doing my best to post a live trip report on my favourite disney site. DISboards, if you haven't already read it here is the link:

I got up to Day 6, so far, and I am going to post Day1 pictures right away, but DO NOT expect a lot of the pictures of the boys, I am waiting till Easter when I get to see you all, to show you all 596 photos of them ( I might throw in a few).

Until then the boys have been ever so kind to help me with our loads of laundry.

9 months ... how time flys

9-month accomplishments:

• They love to feed themselves and pick out what they really like at the table, but will eat mostly anything. There favourite finger food is Cheerios (which mommy loves because they are so much cheaper).
• We are working on the sippy cup. Ryder is more consistent. We are hoping to say goodbye to the bottles once they are a year old.
• Both boys are crawling at full-speed these days, and getting into EVERYTHING!
• Ryder pulls up to stand these days like he has done it forever. He "cruises" around a lot while up there too. He never goes long distances, but will move around the coffee table or a square toy, with no problems.
• Kyran pulls up to stand too these days, but is extremely leary of how off balance he feels when up there, with only taking a few steps.
• Both boys can now pick up things with a pincer grasp and put it straight into their mouths.
• They are both interested in playing with toys that you take things in and out of it. I can even give them a container and they have fun putting stuff in it and taking it out.
• Ryder has started communication through tantrums these days.
• Teeth: Kyran has his two bottom teeth. Ryder top teeth broke through about a week ago.
• They have learned to make noise while covering and uncovering their mouth.
• say and waving 'bye-bye'
• crawling to someone and hanging at their feet when they want to be held

They are turning into such big boys, I can hardly believe it. I have such mixed emotions on that matter, as I am sure most of you can relate!
