Do your twins understand and listen to you?

Starting at 18 months, my twins began to understand what I was talking about.

It was around this age they would look at my lips and actually try and understand what I was saying and asking them to do.

This is so cool. I mean, when you see you child or twins, actually doing their best to comprehend what Mommy or Daddy is saying or relaying to one of them it just melts your heart.

My twins now are 20 months but will be 21 months in a couple of days.

Today for instance, we were all three in our backyard and I saw one of their binkies next to our sliding glass door. I thought Twin "B" wanted it and I told her where she could find her BLUE BINKI at the PATIO DOOR. I also pointed to where it was.

Amazed by Twin "B", she walked over to the patio door, found and picked up her blue binkie and brought it to me.

Wow! I mean WOW!

To many who read this you may think this is no big deal, but it is because this means she is comprehending my words and meaning and she is learning...

Learning is the most important thing here...

Praise the Lord!

Double the Food and Double the Naps

At almost 21 months, my twins are again, taking two naps a day and now eating more.

Yes, my twins are growing and needing to sleep more now as well.

Do you think maybe they are growing and needing more to eat?

Yes...I am being silly here..

Of course they are eating more now and growing.

But, my twins are still, at almost 21 months, eating jarred food. They refuse to eat table food.

Well, sometimes, they eat mashed potatoes and chicken, but, they are so very picky.
Both my girls turn their heads in protest and refuse to eat what Daddy and Mommy eat.

If you have any suggestions...

Have a blessed day!!

Downtown Disney and the Twins

When my twins, myself, Papa and Nana went to Downtown Disney, they had so much fun. They loved the crowds, the lights and the music being played by street musicians. They also loved the Wetzel Pretzel big time and my lemonade.

Now, when Papa let the twins walk, or run, around, Papa had to run after them. It is a good thing Downtown Disney is not too big to loose a baby or babies.

Next year, I will be sure to bring their puppy dog and teddy bear leashes to try and keep them under control.

Last year when we went to Downtown Disney, they were only 7 months old and were still in their stroller because they were not walking....yet...

My twins are a joy indeed.....I love seeing them grow and develop. They are trying so hard right not to make sentences....the day they learn to speak English and use sentences will be my day of ....fill in the blank for me.....

Have a blessed day!

Twins and Driving to HB

I am not sure how your twins are when it comes to driving, but my twins hate being confinded to any space for too long.

Take for instance our drive to Huntington Beach for the day, the crying started at my parents home and ended once we stopped on the parking lot. Once we got to the beach, they liked it, I smothered them with oodles of sunscreen and put hats on them.

We also brought toys for them to play with in the sand, which they were not a fan of. They mainly stayed on the blanket or towel.

Then, on the way home, my twins repeated the same crying game...

I am so looking forward to the day when they no longer cry and scream, but instead just go along for the ride.
