Hello to the new, Goodbye to the old
October 2, 2009This summer we said goodbye to some old stuff and introduced some new stuff:

Goodbye to our boogie board (and playing on the countertop yikes!!)

Goodbye to tummy time on the bed (we roll too much now)

Alex loves his new walker (but can still only go in reverse)

A new place to sit and play!
And finally…..hello to the days of holding our own bottle!! This is a huge help for me when both boys are hungry at the same time. Now I can put one in the bouncy chair while he feeds himself. I still try to feed them separately so I can hold them while they eat, plus it’s much less stressful (trying to burp, dropping bottles, etc.). It’s nice to have options though.

And goodbye to the days of rocking babies to sleep all day long! You’ve probably heard all about my issues getting the boys to nap. For a while, I was doing a lot of rocking or walking to get them to fall asleep (and stay asleep). After some very tough weeks and after a tough decision to separate them into different rooms, I think we’ve gotten pretty good at naptime (for now until they change again!)

Goodbye to sharing a crib too!! Although that one we said goodbye to a long time ago. Even a short time together in a crib these days has ended in scratches or cries.

And to think we shared a crib for 3 months

Goodbye to hats that are too small now (and we never even wore!)

And hello to hats that are too big
HEY there! I didn’t know you all were posting on this page again! YAY! Um, so….I LOVE this post! And that last pic with Grandma and the hat! SO CUTE.
Great pictures! Great update! Hope you find time to do more of these now that the boys are sleeping better!
So great to see those cute boys! I love the new hat! Adam looks like he’d be a great “hat wearer!” The girls will love it
So glad they are sleeping better and praise God for “holding your own bottle!” even with 1 it was a blessing! Thanks for the update!
Wow, the kids are looking great. We’ve been thinking about you guys a lot lately. It’s good to see that things are going well. Hopefully we’ll have a chance to catch up in person before too much longer. Have a great week. Great to see the updates!!!
Hi there! I am catching up on all my blogs (a month or so overdue). I love the pic of Adam in the too small hat.

I was just sitting here in my office looking at the hat pictures again and grinning like a crazy person. (co-workers suspicions confirmed!).
