A Litttle Bit of Everything!

Early one morning when I arrived, both girls were still in their Baby Einstein pj's. It isn't too often that they are dressed the same, but I thought they looked particularly cute. Claire is expanding her chest so that we can see what pajamas she has on.

The news of the week is that Claire and Chloe's family dog, Lucy, had puppies. Here they are, and I have to admit they are quite cute. But, oh the work and chaos that is ahead with twins AND puppies!

On Wednesday of this past week, we met visiting friends from LA at the local McDonald's play area. It was raining out and this gave the girls some exercise and some new experiences since they had not been there before. Here Claire is exiting the tunnel slide. For the first hour or so Chloe walked up the steps and then would walk back down rather than slide. Everyone had lots of fun!

Claire on the move!

Chloe on the move!
Below is their new friend Colt. His two older brothers stayed up in the rocket ship most of the time, so we didn't get their picture.

Not sure if Chloe really came down the slide at this time or was just crawling back down.


A closeup of Chloe....not always easy to get.

Here is a small snippet of some of the techniques used to get Papa's attention. He has made the decision to not drink diet coke in front of the girls anymore. Chloe is trying to fix that situation by making Papa some coke in her little kitchen. Claire is talking to Papa about the dinosaurs and other animals. The previous day Claire had declared to me that some dinosaurs "eat meat" and some dinosaurs "eat plants". She also is being just a bit possessive with the animals. :)
Chloe doesn't seem to mind however. We have found that Chloe picks her battles.

Reading a book about elephants with Papa.

Claire is using her medical expertise to make sure Papa's heart is still beating. The first time Claire checked my ears with her little instrument, she told me I had a gecko in my ear. Yikes!!!

Chloe is checking Papa's blood pressure. After they pump up the little toy, they always say, "It is 10 o'clock". Not sure what that is about except that the little dial looks somewhat like a clock.

Lastly, Papa gets a shot. We get lots of shots these days and they always say, "It only hurts for a second" and that is what she tells Papa before telling him to "Just be happy again".

Here is Claire singing to her baby named Pocca. I have no idea if I have the name spelled correctly, but they tell me that is her name, however unusual.

The last little movie is of Chloe "sort of" singing with Grandma. She knows all the words of our songs but sings selectively. If you listen carefully you can hear Claire singing along across the room. Chloe often chooses the songs she wants us to sing and will correct us if we sing something wrong.

On to the month of March....doesn't seem possible.

P.S. It seems the videos are working well again....
