Tommy and Liam in Their New Stroller

I'm working on staying positive these days. It's hard when everyone at work is negative and then when I get home people are negative. I'm not going to let it get to me. If I have to be that beacon of hope and happiness that will be me, d@mn it!

Anyway, I also need to get more pics and videos of the boys. Liam did start creeping along on his belly, sort of commando crawling, on Friday night. It took a lot, I had to get Tommy to leave the toy alone that I was trying to have Liam get. Tommy is always taking whatever toy Liam has or is interested in. So I kept Tommy away and Liam got the toy that I was putting just out of reach in front of him. Yeah!!!! And now he's doing it all over the place. Between that and rolling Liam can now cover the whole living room.

Here's a pic of the boys in their new stroller. Next step in June is to get the regular car seats and get them out of the infant ones. I still have to research which ones we want. And yes, I can't keep them in socks. Tommy takes them off and then he takes off Liam's. If it was getting into the colder months I'd have to get them shoes to keep their socks on, but since it's Spring I won't bother. They are fine going without socks on as it's getting warm.

I bought my Son and DIL one of those...for their two boys, not twins but close in age...I loved walking them both to the park..made live much easier.

They are just so cute.

I can't keep socks on Miss M, either. It's maddening, as it's still pretty cold here. I just found a pair of little ankle socks, like a miniature version of the adult kind that I wear running, and those DO stay on. Unfortunately, I cut the tags off and washed them before she wore them, and now I can't remember where they came from! I only have one pair, so I'm going to need to figure out where we got them.

Yup, the socks come off constantly. I find those "robeez" shoes stay on pretty well. BTW, I have one of your bibs. You're doing a great job of staying positive in a negative work environment. My suggestion? Just keep thinking of the positive things to look forward to. Everyone needs something to look forward to. For example, the beer fest that is approaching (he he, self plug).

Yay for big boys! I actually think it's really fun now that my girls are mobile...it's fun to watch them together. Glad the stroller is a winner!

I'm so glad it's spring and my girls can go barefoot again. They don't keep socks on either, so they wore footed sleepers most of the winter. I just love bare baby feet!! : )
The boys look so beautiful in their nice new stoller. I could never keep socks on our boys either!
Sending you positive vibes re.the negativity. I deal with that and my mantra has become, There but for the Grace of God/dess go I ...
Heather, your boys have got soooo tall! THey are GORGEOUS - always and what cute little feet.

Mine try to take their socks off but I strap them in with shoes - it is COLD here and I can't have :)

You keep on keeping on!

I used to have the same problem with socks, so I searched online for reviews. I bought socks from Walmart-I think they were Faded Glory brand. They are white and have a grey toe and heel area-and they have NEVER been kicked off! I will just keep buying more in bigger sizes as she grows!

cuties!!!
I wasn't able to keep socks on my kiddos at that age...and I still can't on Gio. LOL
Gio still wants EVERYTHING Jacob has even when you ask him first. :) so see none of it will change,they just get bigger and cuter.

They look adorable and I can see that they are growing nicely.

Keep that POSITIVE attitude, it's not always easy, but it's worth it...for your own sanity!

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...
