Commence Radio Silence

Well it appears my right arm (aka my netbook) has decided to take a holiday vacation despite how much I rely on and love it. Apparently it no longer wishes to be used to leisurely surf the net as I nurse/feed babies or while I cook, displaying those gorgeous recipes I love to at least drool over even if I don’t cook them for my loving family, finicky friend isn’t it?! LOL! So expect radio silence for a while as I can’t get to my desktop a lot. It is still under warranty but who knows how long they’ll have it, guess that’s better than no warranty at all and no netbook at all.  I am off to start my grieving process now. :(

For your viewing pleasure

I have finally found a few seconds to upload some cute video clips. First and foremost Maddy is WALKING!!! Ok so it’s still only 1/3 of the time so far but that is a step in the right direction considering she is 3 days shy of 18 months. What a girl! She is the light of our lives!

 

Oh and before you enjoy these videos please please disregard my awful mommy on video sing songy voice yikes…its baaadddd! ;)

 

Maddy Walks!!!

 

In keeping with the season and to have some fun we bought some of those vinyl cling-ons and Mads sure does love them. She even knows who Santa is check it out its adorable. :)

 

Santa

 

Jae is our high maintenance baby just like her sister Maddy was. She doesn’t talk much yet, although sometimes she may be and it just sounds like her cranky noises so we don’t pick up on it. You really have to see her face to know if she’s happy or not LOL but we caught her here talking. When she does smile though it lights up her entire face, she is such a beauty! Oh and her poor little face in this video, the night before I had put some new cream on her since she seemed to have some pretty bad eczema and wow did it turn her red, I mean fire hydrant red. I felt sooooo bad! (So much for baby eczema care lotion!) So as you see her face here, keep in mind this is the day after. :(  We were going to the doc the next day anyway so it worked out great, we got some hydrocortisone cream prescription to apply once a day and some glaxal base cream to use the rest of the time (at every diaper change I’m doing) and she looks like a new girl! Perfect skin! Anyway, she’s adorable check her out!

 

Jae Talks

 

 

And last but certainly not least is my little man Jackson! Oh my how a little man can melt a mommy’s heart! I am so blessed!!! This is the first time he is sitting in his bumbo, a chair that lets babies sit upright when they can hold their head up. As with Maddy the twins get to sit in theirs for a few minutes a day and build up their strength for longer play sessions. Maddy used to sit in hers and rifle through her toybox and smash the toys on the accompanying tray at quite a young age, it was adorable and I just can’t wait til these little ones can too. Jackson is quite the little talker (he is also my happy baby) and I just love watching him and listening to him talk. So here he is, mommy’s little man!

And with that I am off. I hope you all enjoyed these videos.

I don't have much time

but after getting "lost" in a grief forum at a regular forum I frequent and finiding out someone who was pregnant and due around the same time as me lost one of their twins I just have to publicly say...
I am the luckiest mom on the face of the planet to have 4 happy healthy children. Having twins could have had a far different outcome than 2 happy healthy beautiful babies and I am just so thankful for these little joys that I am blessed with, all 4 of my kids! Those 4 sweet faces, among the chaos I am blessed! With all my ranting and laughing and complaining I may do here about my crazy life, I wouldn't trade any one of them for the world!!!!
