Update on the twins!

I was going to write a quick blog about what the babies were up to without pictures, but I thought I would get into trouble, so I took some pictures of some pictures that we took with a our photographer in Utah while we were there over the holidays. Is that breaking copyright laws? Oh well, Mason informed me that it would have looked better had I scanned them in and them emailed them in PDF format, but I didn't want to take that much time...so here they are with their imperfections, but aren't their faces cute?




Anyway, update...they are into everything!!! Between the two of them and their dad fixing the entire house at the same time, my house is a disaster! The babies are into running these days, everywhere. We have a lot of bumps and bruises and scrapes to prove their running skills!
Dallin: loves to move furniture around. Kid size furniture. He picks up his little chairs and with grunting noises, hauls them to the gate that keeps the cat safe and tries to climb the gate, or to the back door to open it, or to the kitchen sink to get himself some water! He also loves helping his dad with all the power tools that are hanging around the house. I have already scrubbed a pair of PJs and an outfit I love feverishly trying to get paint out of them...good to know, tears and scrubbing get the job done! He is still a mama's boy and he still is my little lover boy. He is mellow and sweet, but he doesn't sleep through the night yet and I am getting very tired in all facets of the word!
Clara: is a girl! She is incredibly observant and smart. She jabbers all day long bossing me, her brother and anyone within earshot around. She loves her daddy and has just recently decided to say "mama" and give me big hugs too! I enjoy them immensely. She is also very dramatic. One minute she is fine the next she is screaming with a very high pitched tone. I cannot stand it and am looking for suggestions to get her to stop other than putting her in time out every 5 minutes. She sleeps through the night like a big girl and always has a mischievous grin on her face when she is doing something she is not supposed to be doing!
Both: They cannot be away from each other very long. When I put Clara in time out (even Dallin, but he is in less than Clara), Dallin has to go and stand by the port-a-crib until she is out. They have no sense of space and are constantly on top or next to each other. They don't seem to even notice it! They both blow kisses when they are saying goodbye and are really cute about waving and saying hi! We love them and are so grateful they are in our family!
