Lunch with the Johnston's

Since eating is our new pastime, we met Scott, Soyoung and baby Audrey at Urth Cafe in West Hollywood. Thanks for the great time.

Week 26

Baby 101

Last night Mommy and Daddy went to a "Baby Saver" class with our twin friends the Hiskeys. It was very good, we learned so much. I think Daddy got a little freaked out on the CPR choking part.

We found out these items may choke us:
Hot Dogs
Nuts
Chunks of Meat
Grapes
Hard Candy
Popcorn
Peanut Butter
Raisins
Carrots
Ice
Balloons
Coins
Marbles
Pen Caps
Small button-type batteries
...and the number one thing, water bottle caps!

Daddy said he needs to get certified in CPR.

They come by twos...

This was daddy's when he was a baby...

Mother's Day at Grandma J's

Boy what a trip... Mommy and Daddy needed to make room in their bedroom (now our bedroom) so they swapped their king size bed with Grandma's queen. Since we rented a U-haul to move our bed, we decided we may as well move all of Daddy's shoes too. The ride there was really beautiful. We traveled through the desert and Mommy stopped to potty a few times (what's new) and WOW... was it hot out there! When we arrived, Grandma had lots of yummy food prepared - Mommy sure loved those deviled eggs. We mostly spent our weekend shopping and eating. Grandma had a great time spoiling us with lots of goodies. The best part for Mommy and Daddy was going through all of Daddy's stuff from when he was a little guy. Grandma gave us Daddy's first Cat in the Hat book from his Grandpa. We are also excited to get Daddy's mobile that was on his crib. It is very cool. It has lots of animals and is very colorful. Thanks for a great weekend Grandma J! See you soon!

Love,
Baby "A" and Baby "B"

24 weeks and counting

I thought black was supposed to make you look smaller?

Now it's official...

Jack sent us these COOL things today. They have more gadgets than Daddy's car. Jack also sent us cards explaining we will be spending a lot of time in them, whether we like it or not. He says we can nap, eat, play and even poop in these things! Wow, we can't wait. Thank you Jack, tell Mommy and Daddy thank you too!

Late Nights = Happy Twins

Friday Night was big for us. Mommy and Daddy were having such a good time that they let us stay up late. It has been a long time since our parents have seen 1:00 a.m. The fun started at dinner with Mike (apparently, also know as Brian to some people) and Rebecca (our twin buddies Mommy). We had so much fun talking about baby things, while our Daddies talked about skateboard stuff. The food was really yummy and we even had surprise chocolate cake! Mommy taught us already to thank people when they do thoughtful things. Thank you Rebecca, for sneaking that one. After dinner we heard that Red's Mommy and Daddy had made the drive down from Tinseltown. Also to join in the fun were our local Long Beach pals, Tara and Bobby. We all came back to our house and talked about...you guessed it, more baby stuff - girls in one room and boys in the other. Sounds like the two 'mommies-to-be' have a lot to get ready for...we can't wait to meet you all!!!

Happy Birthday to you, Mommy!!!!

Today is Mommy's birthday and we heard Daddy talking about taking her out to dinner somewhere special. We want you to have a party like this one, can you pleeeeeease!!?? Because anyone with a party like that would have the best day ever!


Love, Us...

...oh and Daddy loves you too!

Burnt Bagels and Firetrucks

After a long wait at the doctors office, the nurse finally called our Mom. We walked down the hall through the smell of smoldering bagels to room number 6. Our buddy Sheila, explained that somebody forgot their bagel in the toaster. It seemed like maybe room number 5 was up in flames - it was that smokey. As far as our check-up, everything is a-okay. We even got to be on TV so Mom and Dad could see us. We like to be on TV, it makes everyone happy! Our next visit is Mother's Day weekend, just for our Mommy! As we were walking out of the doctors office we got to hear our first Firetrucks. Wow, those things are loud... but boy are they cool. We think they were there for the bagels.

fruit stripes

Mom and Dad went shopping today and brought us back each a cool outift from Baby Gap. We are both wondering if they'll fit after our Trader Joe's shopping bonanza! Only time will tell. If we're lucky Mommy will stitch something on them.

One down...

I came home from work today and someone was putting the finishing touches on her first custom baby onesie. More to come...

Belly Pats and Little Kicks

So the other day I was at the grocery store and received my very first 'belly pat' from a total stranger. One would think that this may be an akward moment...like their space has been invaded. But to me it was a reminder that our little peanuts are getting bigger and preparing to meet the world . I've even felt a few kicks over the past week...more like little flutters. And Hubby has even felt a kick or two...absolutely amazing.

A crib and an elephant.

Ok the difference between crib "A"...

... and crib "B" is... well let's just say, enough to almost buy one of the Eames Elephants. Can you tell which is $1450 and which is $299? Either can we.

1,2,3,4

Can your belly fit through the door?

Red Crocheted

Red... what do you think about this guy? We like him well, not as much as we like you but...

Happy Birthday Aunt Jen!!!

Wishing a wonderful Birthday to Aunt Jen, who happens to be the wonderful Mommy of our cousins, Lindsay and Lauren - also twin girls! We are very excited to see you in June!!!

The Twin Bunch Brunch

So this morning we had breakfast with our parent's friends who are also expecting twins. Rebecca and Mike are a few weeks behind Mommy and Daddy, and boy did our parents have a lot to talk about. It was great to get together with parents who also have 'babies on the brain.' We have a feeling this won't be the last get together.

Do the right thing...

...it's Earth Day. Plant a tree...wait plant 10, recycle, change your light bulbs... just do something. If none of these strike your fancy, at least watch Planet Earth tonight...

The Starter Kit

We finally have a list of objects that will help us come into this world comfortably. Mom calls it a registry, but to us it's a Starter Kit for Life. Mommy and Daddy seem to be a little confused on what to get, so they kept it simple...they think? The lists came from Babies R Us and The Right Start.
