Birthday Party

Evelyn and Sylvia had a wonderful birthday party. 8 of their friends (Ella, Clay, Lucas, Chip, Wyatt, Charlotte, Madeline, Mia) came and Oma from California visited (Daddy's Mommy). Here are some pictures of the fun! It was a backyard barbeque bash!

Summer Fun

In the party favor buckets the girls' gave their friends were squirt guns. Surprisingly, they figured out how to use them quickly. They are nuts for bubbles!

Love of Lettuce

Sylvia has realized she loves lettuce!

Dinner with Wyatt

What fun. Our playdate turned into dinner and everyone had a blast with songs and lots of food!

Doctor Appointment

At the girls doctor's appointment, they were weighed and measured, but not poked (no shots). It would have been an easy visit if the girls were in a good mood (but they were not). The details are as follows:

Evelyn weighs 25lbs (26th percentile) and measures 33 inches (32nd percentile); Sylvia weighs just one pound more at 26lbs (40th percentile) and measures 33 inches (also 32nd percentile). The doctor calculated their height percentiles at 58%, but after checking with a calculator on-line, I found those to be high.

Regardless, they are doing great. They are far exceeding the threshold developmental milestones. Our next biggest challege is potty training. The girls have their potty's, but aren't very interested yet. They can tell us before they go #2 and want changed immediately, but won't sit on the potty. Sylvia can sometimes tell me when she is peeing or about to and then asked to be changed (again, not interested in sitting on the potty to do this). Our big toilet training push will come after our trip to visit Great Granny in July. I don't want huge messes over a day long of travel. No thanks!

So, here's to looking onward to challenges of 2's with 2. I'm absolutely sure there will be plenty of wine and cocktails had to get through it. ha!

Happy Birthday Videos

Lots of stuff going on for their big day!

We Are TWO!

Sylvia and Evelyn turned 2 at 7:17pm and 7:18pm, April 28th! What a huge milestone for them and for David and I. Here are some pictures of their special day. Gram and Gramps were in town and we all went to the Baltimore aquarium, out for lunch, back home for naps, up for presents, birthday cake and pizza. Such good fun. Their birthday party with their friends is May 7th. Happy Birthday my sweet little girls.

Hot Spring Days

We've had several HOT spring days lately. And, Gram and Gramps visited us again for a whole week! We spent most days outdoors when it was nice. The girls enjoy snacking, bubbles, swingset, sandbox, sprinkler. We are so very fortunate to have such great outdoors space for the girls. Probably overkill on pictures, but oh well.
