TEN months already

I know, I know I always start these blog’s of with shock at how time flies and how time is going by at light speed; premature aging BLAH BLAH BLAH …

The girls are GREAT – SUPER – AMAZING the girls are so different.  They each have their own unique personality and getting so big.

Sloan Annika : Is very reserved an observer who is cautious and sort of stalks her prey if you will.  She is vocal mainly with grunts and eh-eh- eh noises.  She is a happy happy smiley girl even when she is cutting 4 teeth at once or when she is throwing up so much she can barely sit up thanks to the dip sh** lady who threw up all over her and M on the plane to Kauai.   She is a smiley girl regardless and so lovey dovey but can also gritt her gums and throw a mini tantrum or gets angry and frustrated she turns purple- but always ends with a SMILE- its so cute.

Lilka Mae: Is a chatty Cathy busy body who is always needing to know whats going on.  She is also a happy go lucky little girl – gabbing away speaking “Lilkaneese” and singing and shaking her tush.  She is fast on all fours leaving no area unscathed.  She is a little stubborn at times and a bit of a fighter and a major flirt who just learned how to bat her eyes with a cheeky grin. She is a very active little person.

Apparently we skipped a 9month  blog – Sorry  as you can imagine we are on full throttle here and the coffee pot is always full ( ok its not a coffee pot but the K-Cup can never runneth over)

The girls at their 9 month Dr. appointment.

Everything went well they had a blood test to see how their Iron levels were and they were fine.  The girls are 1pound different and both tall n skinny – The Dr. said that Sloan is actually smaller than Lilka based on her height weight ratio.  They both are pulling themselves up and standing so we had to lower their cribs (we are not ready for this) they also crawl around everywhere so baby jail has been erected.   I think in the olden days folks called it a coral or a playpen.  These babygirls are eating like crazy.  They love it even more if they can feed themselves finger foods.  So they eat cheese and cheerios and broccoli and all kids of fruit.  They LOVE LOVE  the fruit.

The girls had their first Pasover Sedar and their first Easter – it was such fun trying new things and learning.

Getting ready for our 1st sedar at Mimi’s n Papas house

2nd Passover Sedar with Nana and Saba at Aunt Leslie’s house

Easter with all their Cali Cousins at TiTI’s house

The girls met MOMS good friends from the Bay Area -

Ok so that was 9 months old .. But this blog is the 1o month old blog ….

So the girls went on vacation to Kauai, Hawaii it was a blast once we got over the initial sickness. As I mentioned earlier Melanie and Sloan were casualties.  The woman behind them was sick NOT AIR SICK with the a bug and sadly they became her barf bag. It was horrible and well Melanie does not do well with voimit so she stood up on the plane 10,000 feet in the air and started freaking out ( i had Lilka on my lap) across the isle. Melanie was getting green in the face and I could see it was not going to be good.  I passed my baby on to my neighbors ( thank god they were baby people ) and grabbed Sloan who was covered in someone elses body fluid YUCK …. and stripped her down in the isle and she got a wipee bath for sure- As I was doing that I looked at Melanie and said BABE…. what ever you do you gotta swallow that down and deal with it because we are on a plane and there is no where to go — so whatever you gotta do you just chew it down …( trying to talk her out of throwing up) It smelled, it was wet and there was tons of it … DUMB LADY who did not even say sorry … and the Delta crew NO A PAPERTOWEL will not solve this problem – so Melanie sat in a puked soiled shirt for the rest of the  4 more hours we had- she tried to wash off in the bathroom .  Needless to say every one was sick the first part of our Vacation But sick in paradise was not that bad!

Getting over the nasty stomach bug only to pass it on to Lilka

We were in Kauai for 2 weeks so we did  get to enjoy – Despite the SICKNESS it was an amazing trip the girls are just amazing – they were great on the plane and adjusted well to the change and really enjoyed the freedom in the hotel and on the beach they were not crazy about the water but warmed up to it.

first time on the beach and in the water at Ka’a beach

Salt pond beach

playing in the sand in our sun suits – gotta protect our skin

left no part of our room untouched

Loved being out in fresh air

Moms fav part of Kaui = SHAVE ICE JoJo Style

Grandma gave us just a TINY TEENY TASTE mainly of ice tho

The girls grew lots of teeth while in paradise which surprisingly was not bad- Teething not so nightmarish yet! THANK YOU whoever is in charge of that !

we ditched the sun suits just for a little while

We went to a Luau

It was an adventure for sure. While we were in Hawaii Mojito was living it up in Vegas with his Great Uncle Dan- and it seems the boys had some FUN.  There was Boating and tanning and trips to the HOT SPRINGS and lots of time at the park in the open air and snacks.

Mojito On a Boat !

Just hanging out at the Lake

Fishing

Thanks Uncle Danny for taking care of our Furbaby- He really did have a blast with you!

Happy 10 Months old and Happy Mothers’ Day to us!

The girls turned 10 months on MOTHERS’ Day (and for us its MOTHERS’ not MOTHER’S Day)  We went out to Brunch and celebrated our 1st Mothers’ Day !!! Thanks for coming along GREAT UNCLE DAN and helping with the girls.

The Girls can’t wait to hear all about Nana and Sabas trip- They love spending time with Great Uncle Dan and having family dinner night.  They also love when Ant Jess n Scarlett bring over their niece and nephew.  The girls had their first Gymboree class and they just thought it was so much fun.  Lilka took off like a banshee and left no play area untouched and Sloan had to case the joint a bit before she got comfortable.  Melanie and I ask ourselves why did we sign them up … This Gymboree thing is just a gimmick to teach our BABY GIRLS how to do all the things we are not ready for them to do … Climb stairs and jungle gyms and be independent, flirt with cute little boys whom are older than them – feel possessive of an item … I mean really !!!! They girls had a fun time and were exhausted- Once home Melanie and I decided that we should probably invest in some bubbles and balls since the girls were fascinated.

They are both cutting several teeth – I cant even keep track of who has what and whats coming where.  We are excited for summer and ready to take these girls swimming and ready to have BBQ galore.

I will try not to lag too much between posts but time is getting a bit tighter for us. We miss you all and hope everyone is doing well.  We are still up for visitors anytime just need a few days notice.

Our Second parent adoption hearing was scheduled but we rescheduled it so that my parents could attend-but we have no idea what the new date is and are waiting for the court to tell us. The good news is that the court has decided to forgo the Home-study that is typically required.  I am both excited and nervous.  This is actually a big deal.  We all know that these two beautiful little girls are mine and that I am indeed their parent their MOMMY in fact but having the Government recognize this is tremendous.  I cant imagine that i could travel somewhere and god forbid something happens to either one of them or Melanie that I can be denied the right to see them or care for them.  Le Sigh- legalities… this 2nd parent adoption will just give that final affirmation and there will be no loop hole in which someone can take my kids away from me or deny me the right to make decisions or what have you for them… I normally  steer clear of any kind of political discussion but having this come to fruition and hearing what President Obama had to say about Same -Sex Marriage was just taking my family one step closer to equality. (stepping off soap box)

Anyhow, now to start thinking of the Girls 1st Birthday party- OH MY GOSH – ALREADY.  Its killing me how fast this happens but today I just have to worry about what these Girlies should have for breakfast.

Miss and Love you all!

The FOUR Weissman girls and Mojito.

8 Months

We are growing by leaps and bounds.  It seems like everyday MOMS are learning something new as well as DOS BABIES.

Not even sure where to start.  Lilka now has two full fledged bottom teeth they are pretty white and very sharp and I think quite big.  Sloan’s two bottom teeth are also coming in.  So far the teething “NIGHTMARE” has been pretty good to us. Thank you universe and the girls gums for cooperating we are very appreciative.  Lilka is getting around,  not quiet crawling and not doing the army crawl but more like the worm and she is a fast fast lil’ bugger.  Sloan is also trying to move about the world but usually gets frustrated and will voice her displeasure.

The girls were so excited to see everyone at the Share the Love charity event we did for Valentines Day.  Thank you for all the AMAZING donations. Melanie and I are really so blessed to have such giving friends and family.  If you need a write off receipt please email me the total and your address and THE SHADE TREE ORGANIZATION will be happy to send you one.  Again, Thank you all for the donations they were so happy to receive the items when Melanie dropped them off.  Melanie baked her heart out and it was all so yummy !

Share the Love - filled with sweetness

Lilka hanging with Charlotte and sharing her Love!

Such AMAZING GIVING PEOPLE WE KNOW. The minivan was packed! THANK YOU !

Dandre helping unload all the donations!

1st V-day bibs Thanks Uncle Dan!

The Girls 1st Valentines day was chock full of LOVE and Sharing! Moreover, Melanie and I are astonished that we pulled it off  of course not with out the help of our friends Scar and Jess! Friendfamily  is AMAZING !

We took the girls to a Picnic in the park with our LGBT group.  Its always nice to socialize with other Gay parents.  I also love that our girls will grow up knowing other children who have 2 moms or 2 dads or  3 parents – Diversity is great.  They had their first swing on a swing – They were not so excited about it.  We should try again.

Not sure about it!

Sloan and her Friend Gia who was all about the Hugs!

Lilka was busy checking out the Grass at the Picnic. She was not sure about it

When we were in LA for a baby shower I made Melanie do an impromptu photos shoot at my moms house on her leather couches… and this was the end result – Naked baby alert !

Naked Nudy Sloan

Naked Nudy Lilka

Mom – no couches were peed on or pooped on during this shoot!

Just a cute pic we snapped she is full of sparkle!

The girls were so intrigued by the belly cast we have of Melanie. So we let them take a closer look … I wish we would have done a shoot with them when they were teeny tiny with the cast … but I am still amazed at how my wife did it with the two of them.

Dos Babies inside and out!

My sister came to visit the girls… Yep I said my sister… It was a great weekend and it was amazing to just hang out with her.  The girls loved her and we all had a good time. It was a bit surreal hanging out at my house with my sister and Mom and Dad but it was a real good FAMILY feeling.  Children change you that is for sure!

Girls loving on their Auntie Jodi

Dos Babies, Nana and Auntie Jodie and myself

Getting ready for Dinner!

While Aunt Jodi and Nana were visiting they did a lot of shopping so Lilka and Sloan had a great time getting some retail therapy.

Ready to do some retail damage!

Ahh... The life of Dos Baby!

Now that the girls no longer fit into the newborn little tub we have been bathing them in the REAL TUB .. Scary. WET. BABIES. Wet baby in general intimidating to me- Two wet babies soapy and moving all about in the tub – makes me think of CRACKED HEAD… but so far we have no injuries to report and boy oh boy do these little girls think they are Mermaids.  Dipping their head under water ( there is not much water in the tub so dont freak out) and both Melanie and I are right there on the side lines.  Actually I usually have a hand in which means I am pretty soaked myself. So two babies in one tub – its getting better and interesting . Hilarious mostly, Melanie and I laugh A LOT.   Of course I would not build up the tub-capades with out posting some Tushie pics I am not that mean. Here are some of their first BIG tub adventures.

THIS IS NEW?

NAME THAT TUSH!

We need more water toys- these cups are getting boring !

Are we clean yet?

After Auntie Jodi and Nana/Saba left  Nana’s best friend from NY came to visit and it was so fun listening to stories about her and Nana’s high school adventures.  It was great to see Arlene and we loved hanging out with you and the girls were just so amazed by you.  Thank you !

Just hanging out We love visitors!

I have noticed that Sloan really really pays attention to Mojito and while she was sick. She had RSV ( OH MY GOD HORRIFIC) but thank god we managed to stay out of the Hospital.  Mojito was equally worried about Sloan and one day we were all hanging on the couch and Melanie captured this … It is so cute !!!!

Snuggled together

He is really the worlds greatest Chihuahua and we are so lucky to have him!

So much has happen and will continue to happen so stay tuned. Remember you are all welcome to come visit we have the room and would love the company.  (Dont worry mom I only send this to people I know and some of your friends but they are welcome too)

Parenthood is so far amazing .. a little tiring but only in the last couple of days Damn TIME CHANGE!  I am amazed and the amount of joy and bliss these girls have created in my heart.  Just as they grow and learn new things Melanie and I are also growing and learning because there is no handbook and every mother seems to think her way was the right way and that IS probably true for her situation.  Its not a cake walk – but i expected it to be more difficult honestly especially with two – But I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT !

And  more pictures

They change so much in a just a short time!

ok I can post a ton more and you know it … But I will save some for next time.  I will try to take more video  and figure out how to post it.  We have Skype and Face time and can usually jump on to say hello. So keep in touch!

Miss you and love you all

LOVE,

Lilka & Sloan

Jay, Melanie and Mojito !

6 months 18 days Old

We have been growing by leaps and bounds in Twinville.  Dos Babies are just growing at light speed and it does not seem to be slowing down.

6 months old

Sloan and Lilka are eating solids and love love Avocado. It is their most favorite and Zucchini is a close second with Bananas being number 3 on the list.

Lilka is Crazy for Avocado

Yummy - BRAIN FOOD

Melanie and I have been making the girls food. It sounds like a PIA but  the reality is-  its so easy- Thanks  to getting a super cool baby steamer for x-mas.  I thought it was going to be this huge process but actually its not and there is variety and it all boils down to WE KNOW WHATS IN THEIR FOOD! No preservatives, no added salt or sugar.  The most difficult part for me is spending the money on the organic stuff – but these girls are so worth it and we only do organic on thinned skinned veggies and fruits. We have also given the girls mango, blueberries, pears, granny smith apple and fuji apple, peas, squash and carrots, green beans.  We are trying to hold back on the orange stuff as we noticed that Sloan may have a little bit of eczema and Keratin can exacerbate it.

The girls had their 6 month old check up and the Dr. was so please with how they are growing.  They had their vaccinations and did great.  Their Doctor thinks they are tall and skinny and apparently just store a little of their chub in their cheeks. The Dr. also said that we can start the girls on lentils and some different grains.

Lilka and Sloan helped Mommy celebrate her Birthday this month and they found the cards to be amazing

We love looking at all of Moms Cards!

The girls have also taken a liking to Mojito our chihuahua. Sloan especially loves to pet him and smiles and laughs and keeps a close eye on what hes doing. I have a feeling they will be bonding more – with the amount of food that is left on Sloan despite the numerous wipe-downs  Mojito can always count on her for a snack.   Lilka on the other hand just sits with her mouth open when ever he comes by.  She tries to pet him also but she is not as delicate and gentle as she appears to be.  Of course I dont have any picture of them because it is difficult enough trying to snap shots of two little girls and then throw a Chihuahua in the mix .. OY VEY one day they will all be cooperative RIGHT !

The girls are now sleeping in their own cribs in their Nursery.  It was a sad day for us but it was time and they were clever and almost escaping their Rock N Plays (bassinet type thing)  They sleep through the night. HALLELUJAH- and THANK YOU UNIVERSE WE APPRECIATE YOU !!  Have to pay homage – we are so fortunate for the sleeping through the night  and that means we get 10 hours of UNINTERRUPTED sleep ! Did I say thank you already. THANK YOU …. honestly, though we really did not mind waking up and sometimes miss it a little …the quiet calm and so so so very peaceful moments.  All part of them growing up …

Sloan loves to jump around in her Jumparoo.

jumparoo

The girls are sitting up and working on sippy cups. Its a bit confusing and the hand eye coordination is not quite there yet but they try.  S n L are just starting to wear their 6month clothing and depending on brand sometimes they can fit in to the 3-6 stuff.  Funny how some onsies are wide and some long.

The girls have also graduated off of being bathed on the counter in the toddler tub.  They  just splash way too much and then we have to mop… so we now fill their toddler tub up to the brim and have it in the Guest bath which will be their bathroom and let them swim swim swim…I think I may need foul weather gear – I always wanted those boots that are thigh high and the rubber pants. These girls are seriousness Mermaids. They are getting too big for he toddler tub so we may need a new plan of action ANY SUGGESTIONS? it freaks me out to think of them sitting up in the tub they’re not quite there and slippery and scary and head bonking ..Yikes.

No major injuries yet – THANK GOD! But the girls do like to wrestle a bit… Remember GLOW Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling well I think they may start that league up again i have two candidates.  Looney Lilka and Stone Cold Sloan would be their names!

Morning Sillies

The girls are at their best at 8am and 11am.  Morning time is so fun and whats not to love about waking up and seeing these faces first thing. We have them on a tight schedule and they seem to love it.  We do at time break the rules because Moms have to do things too.

We have lots planned for February and March.  We are going back to California for a cousins Baby shower and  we are hosting a Share the Love Charity party for Valentines day to help a women’s shelter.  We also have some far away visitors coming.  The girls will meet their Auntie Jodi and one of Nana’s best friends from New York and we are so excited.  The girls are also excited to celebrate their best friend Brooklyn’s First Birthday in March(they dont know they are best friends yet but they will be).

We have skype and facetime so if you are far away and want to chat or close by and want to chat just look us up.  The girls love to Skype and its pretty funny watching their faces trying to figure out why you are in the box? We may even restart baby TV again since it is quite entertaining watching the girls chat it up in their cribs when they conspire not to nap. You can always spy on us via facebook we post tons of pics and stuff there.

We miss everyone and think of all of you often.  Sorry that sometimes we are MIA.  Having twins does change things a little

Here are some more photos :

5 1/2 Months ALREADY!

Wow- we have been quite busy here in TWINVILLE.  Actually, it would have been nice if someone would have warned us while we were trying to conceive and tell us that having a child or TWO will thrust your life in to fast forward mode and AGE us very quickly ….but then again had someone warned us we probably would have just shrugged our shoulders and said “OH WELL“.  Yes, I am a little hung up on how quickly times flies once you have a children- and am a little shocked by it actually – I will get over it or get on with it …BUT WOW light speed for real no joke.

In pink is Sloan in Brown is Lilka 5 Months old

Anyhow enough about the aging parents whom no one cares about lets talk DOS BABIES…Oh my goodness these girls are movers and shakers and very chatty.

Lilka and Sloan have started Solids.  We did the rice cereal for a few weeks and then moved on to vegetables.  They have had Green Beans, Butternut Squash, Avocado ( i know its technically a fruit) and yams.  They do make some very funny faces when trying something new but so far they have likes everything they tried.  They do favor the avocado and the Squash.  They put everything they can in their mouth and Sloan will try to lick and eat you.  Melanie is still breast feeding and we also supplement with formula.

Sloan eating Rice Cereal

All Cleaned up after breakfast

The Girls are kicking up a storm and rolling over and very energetic.  They are both so present and respond to most people with a great BIG SMILE.  They love their excersaucer and jumper gym.

We are so fortunate because they are really great babies.  We did not understand why people keep telling us how lucky we are and we still don’t really understand that but apparently the census says that we have good babies ( not sure what makes a baby bad) but they are just very easy and adaptable and low maintenance  for the most part OH and THEY SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT ….so THANK YOU UNIVERSE for being very kind to us we appreciate it and are grateful.

Lilka in the EXCERSAUSER she loves it !

Sloan in her Jumparoo

Lilka and Sloan had their first Hanukkah and Christmas.  It was a blast, ok they probably did not have a clue what was going on other than the amazing stare at the Menorah and the twinkle lights on the tree. It was nice to celebrate with them and start our own family traditions ( we don’t have any yet we are working on them we still have some time)  The Girls even had a moment with Santa Claus and Lilka almost ripped his beard off in an attempt to determine whether he was real or not  – we apologized to Santa and Thank God he did not mark us on his naughty list.

Last night of Hanukka!

Sloan & Lilka with cousin Gavin & Austin and Santa Claus

The girls got so many lovely gifts from everyone and Santa too. Thank you! We got to spend time with so many people during our trip but it never seems like enough.

We are ready for a great 2012.   ’11 was great to us and we are so thankful and fortunate for all the wonderful things we accomplished and did we know ’2012 will be even more fabulous and wonderful.  Hope you all have a Happy and Healthy and very prosperous New Year!

Here are some more pictures of our DUO and their adventures.

FOUR MONTHS

The girls have been so busy and from the lack of post Moms have been doubly busy.  In just a month so much has happened.   The girls had their first Halloween in California.  It was so much fun – First we went to a Party at grandma’s yacht club and then celebrated with all their cousins.

Halloween 2011

Happy Halloween !

We also took the girls on their First Air Plane flight to Portland, Oregon for their first wedding.  It was super exciting and they did great on the plane. Portland is a beautiful place.  The leaves were all different beautiful colors.  Reds, yellows & oranges.

Flying to Portland

Flying with Sloan

Wedding Girls

The Girls also had their 4 month old check up and their vaccinations. They did great minimal crying and only a few days of fussiness.  The Dr. said they look great and doing well and we can start them on rice cereal and then some veggies.  So excited to see how this pans out but so sad that our babies are growing so quickly.

We are excited for the babies first Thanksgiving and the holidays to come….

Stay tuned…

I will try to post more often

The Four Weissman Girls

Twelve

WOW o WOW – TWELVE Weeks.  That right the girls are 12 weeks old today. It really does go at light speed.  Melanie and I were looking at pictured of them when they were  first born and in the NICU.  They were really tiny and so fetus looking.  Damn they grow fast… I say this to myself often.  Amazing how much one can change in just 12 weeks. A shocking difference at that.

Sloan

Lilka

12weeks ok 1 day shy

Lots of people ask us about their names.  To be honest with you we had NO IDEA, CLUE or inclination that both of these babies were girls.  We had on girls name picked out  and that was Lilka Mae.

Lilka Mae Weissman

LILKA MAE.   Her name honors  our grand mothers.  Jay’s grandmother and her middle name Mae is after her Great Grandmother Lorraine May Petro (Melanie’s Grandmother)   Lilka is Lilly in polish.  Jay’s grandmothers name is Gitla and her younger brother could not say that so he called her Lilka and thus that is how she got the name.  According to some Lilka also means famous warrior maiden. Some of Lilka’s nick names are Lilka Lou, Lilka Belle, Lilka Munster, LIL, Lil Lil,

Sloan Annika Weissman

SLOAN ANNIKA was a name we came up with just one day prior to her arrival.We had tons of boys name and just the one girls name.  We could not agree on anything but we seem to love the letters L, M and S.  We loved the name Stanley for a girl but knew many of you would turn your noses up at that.  We liked the name Sloan for both a boy or girl but preferred it for a Girl but with the masculine spelling.  The feminine version is SLOANE we dropped the E.   Sloan was a name we threw around before but it kept coming back.  We knew since we were using the masculine form of the name we needed a feminine middle name ( just in case we have 2 girls)  We loved the name DANICA but knew many would pronounce it DAN- ICK -UH and it should sound like DON-ICK-KA so that was out.  Melanie and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pipi Longstocking  with a hope and a hay and a hope shana ! but Sloan Pipi did not work  but then there is Pipi Longstalking best friend Annika -DING DING DING Sloan Annika (pronounced AHN-ick-AH) lots of people say ANNE-icka but that is not correct.     Sloan is also after Jays Grandfather Stanley and also our friend Julie ANNe who is responsible for Melanie and Jay’s meeting..  Sloan means  man of arms or warrior  ( funny how both their names mean warriors) and Annika means sweet faced.  So, Sloan Annika  is our Sweet faced warrior.  Some of Sloan’s nick names are Sloanie Pie, SLOANKA, Sloankee and SAW.  So, that is the story behind their names.

We recently got a ipod touch as an early anniversary gift.  Thank you !!!! So we have been taking all kinds of pictures and trying to figure out the video stuff. Here are some images we caught.

our lil Family

its pretty cool …there are a ton more photos i have.

Lots of fun stuff coming up. Picnics and Halloween, Nana is coming to visit!!!

Love you,

4 Weissman Girls !

Jay, Melanie, Lilka and Sloan

TEN TENACIOUS WEEKS

Dos Baby Girls are ten weeks today.  My goodness time is certainly not standing still. Perhaps its the sleep deprivation and/or mommy brain  but its almost difficult to remember when we set for on this Project Baby.

Lilka and Sloan are such bundles of joy.  They are truly happy babies- dont get me wrong they certainly can cry and fuss and just about get on our last nerve but usually and most often they are smiley happy babies.   They have started smiling and cooing and trying to talk to us.  It is hilarious or we think so at least.   (we are just a little bias)

The Girls had their 2month check up and Sloan is now 10 pounds and Lilka is 9 pounds.  They are finally on the charts still low in percentile but not in the less than- The Doctor said they both have beautiful heads and he is quite pleased with their growth.  YAY !

Just a pound difference

The girls received their vaccinations. Melanie cried and I was the one who had to hold them down. It was sad and they did CRY big CRIES but were very consolable after and only whimpered a bit .  They did break out in to a fever which is to be expected so we did the Tylenol thing and they were over it in 48 hrs.   Of course as paranoid Mothers we had to phone Aunt BZ cuz she is a nurse and have her as Unky Melmo cuz ya know he is a pediatrician and all… and they assured up we were spazoids and everything is normal.

Since the girls were vaccinated we decided that it would be okay to venture out in to the world.  SO we hit up the Betty’s Womens Pre- pride Picnic.  It was fun and hot real hot but they did well – better than their MOMS. Sorry it was a crazy day  and we have no pictures from that picnic so prepared but forgot to take photos -ok there is one photo

Lilka and Sloan also had some visitors. Great Aunt Jackie came to see them and spend the day with Dos Baby Girls- She got her baby fix on as soon as she arrived with out hesitation. It was a lovely day just hanging out relaxing and napping -  We think the girls sense that Jackie was a pro when it comes to TWIN GIRLS -

Great Aunt Jackie and the Girls!

S&L also head the pleasure of meeting our BOSS Perry.  He was also in town and came by to say “WHATS UP”

Perry and Sloan

The girls are certainly not deprived of love from near and far- Thanks for visiting guys and come back anytime.  Mojito on the other hand would like someone to just come hang with home for a day or a few hours even.

It was Las Vegas Pride here so we also took the Girls.  Melanie and I run a LGBT Family group with some of our friends.  In celebration of Pride we made the Girls some onsies.

all because two girls fell in love with a rainbow heart on the tushie

it was a super fun day and we met lots of other parents and families. We made cotton candy and it was just a blast hanging out.  The girls did great 8 hours at PRIDE.  We even met a woman who had a son named Sloan who is a twin. Melanie and I and the Girls did a NOh8 photoshoot we cant wait to see the pics -but we have to wait 4-6 weeks UGG.

We received a huge 49lb box from Florida and it was filled with awesome HAND-ME-DOWNS from S&L’s cousins S&H.  It looks as tho someone vomited PINK everywhere but the stuff is super cute and we of course could not wait to wash and wear it.

Lilka and Sloan in their Hand-Me-Downs Ralph Lauren 2nd hand!

They also started to sort of acknowledge each other – Which is so cool. We sit them up BOBBY PROP of course Love those BOPPY pillows and they were playing footsie with each other.

Footsie

They are growing fast ok a few more pics

Hope they are best friends!Pink has exploded all over our house but look at these girls they change so much everyday
