when Zachary reads "Funny Farm" and points out every individual pig on the page – "its zee peeg, zee peeg, zee piig. peeg" when Adam walks into the office and requests that I play music on my Mac and dances to it when the boys point at a picture of a computer and say "Daddy" …
Taming Twins: A Break from Tech
I've made lots of tech posts lately, so now its back to the boys. They are the cutest mannerless children around. They both walk around as if they have every right to get into every item in their environment. Look interesting? Sure, just walk up to it and take it. They randomly open doors, look …
Random Notes: Pre-Holiday Edition
It's been a little while since I posted about the boys. The holidays are here, works has ramped up, winter illnesses have started visiting us again, and sleeping has been a little bit more difficult. Luckily we are past most of that now so let's get to it! Not-So-Silent Nights Ever since the boys were …
18 Month Update
It's that time again, here's what the boys have been up to. Had their 18 month appointment. Zach is still somewhere in the 5th percentile for height and weight even though he's been eating like a moose lately. He literally will eat all of his food and then all of the food that Adam doesn't …

What Have the Boys Been Up To Lately
When we last left you Zach owned all the books, ran away from us, and repeated everything that we said. Adam liked puzzles, helping, and watches. We purchased some Play Doh for the boys a few weeks ago and that has become a nice addition to our nightly routine. We have a toddler-sized plastic picnic …
Open House #2
The boys participated in their second day care open house today! The last time they had an open house they were only 6 months old. They didn't do much and we were the only family that showed up so it was a quiet affair. Tonight was quite different. The evening started with our standard 5 …
Random Notes

Caspar Babypants: Fun Music for Kids that won't Drive You Crazy
I generally don't like children's music. It's all "ring around the rosie" and nursery rhymes. It's too cheery and too cheesy. Yeah, I'm that parent, the one that won't let their kids listen to their own music. My one exception is Raffi. He's a bit on the folky side, but he's from our childhood so I …
