And Babies Makes 4.... The story of our 1st babies!: Just catching up...

A lots been going on since we checked in last!!!! Mommy and the kids went and visited g-ma & g-pa for what was supposed to only be a few days but the blizzard from H*LL hit twice!!!! A few days turned into 2 weeks! But we had a ton of fun and mommy REALLY enjoyed the help!

During those 2 weeks it seems like the M&M's blossomed. Michaella became very fond of her thumb and FINALLY started sleeping through the night YEAHHHH!!! Both Mikey and Michaella found their hands and really started to use them well. Mikey was even getting the hang of grabbing his little froggy on his bouncy seat and pulling the string to make the music play. And Michaella was very excited to start grabbing at things and making them move. Michaella became quite the cutie also... smiling and giggling at everyone! Mikey smiles and giggles but has become the talker in the family. He had great joy in telling g-ma and g-pa stories and laughing when they would talk back to him. He even told daddy a few stories over the phone.

The first day was a long day between packing and driving but the M&Ms did great. They slept most of the ride and took to the new digs pretty well. Unfortunately mommy thought the M&Ms would do well sleeping in their positioners again but she was terribly wrong. The M&Ms had gotten very use to their own cribs and being able to wiggle in their sleep. Sadly mommy got ZERO sleep the 1st night out of fear they would wiggle themselves out of the positioners or into each other. The next day G-ma and mommy took Michaella to target to buy some pack and plays while g-pa and Mikey man hung out. They slept much better for the rest of the trip.

On what was supposed to be one of the last days of our little trip mommy had some friends and family over to see the M&Ms. Now that the rugrats are 3 months it was time they star wearing big boy and girl outfits during the day. No better time than when company to test drive the new cuuuuttteee outfits mommy and daddy bought at Carters. It was mommy's 1st time putting tights on Michaella it was ruff at first but Michaella did great and looked adorable. Mikey was sporting his first pair of big boy pants w/ a zipper and all. The M&Ms were not so fond of all the company and went into hibernation mode hahahaha they literally slept all day and when mommy was finally able to wake them that night after everyone left they were CRANKY babies... now i know never to have that much company at once!!!

Finally after the 1st big storm g-ma, mommy, Mikey, Michaella & Chris decided to venture out for a walk around the mall and some shopping. The M&Ms did great and Chris was a super big help the whole time! While at g-ma's and g-pa's theM&Ms had many 1st!! They saw cartoons for the 1st time, slept through the night, ate out at a diner, and the biggest of all had to be Mikey's first taste of cereal!! While away Mikey's reflux was acting up a bit and mommy called and left a message for Dr. S to see if there was anything she could do. Dr.L called mommy back and said a little rice cereal 1x day might help a little. SO mommy rushed out before big storm #2 hit to buy rice cereal and some spoons!! Mikey did awesome and LOVED the extra food in his belly (check out the video below).

2 storms later it was finally time to get home... everyone missed daddy and daddy had been working hard at home around the house (finishing off the basement) and shoveling paths in the backyard so the pups could go potty!!! It was good to be home but had a ton of fun at g-ma's and g-pa's and miss them very much!!!
