Bouncing Kids - Daily Routine

Hello my wonderful readers. So I wanted to share our daily routine with you guys today. Now I do say this first, kids will be kids, so this is the ideal routine and day in our home, which doesn't always happen. Some days we are all messed up and watch too much tv or everyone goes down for a nap whether they want to or not to keep mommy sane haha. With the twins being babies also it can change some days with them slightly due to growth spurts. 

6a-7a: Everyone is usually awake, if Penelope is not up I will let her sleep until 8a; P gets milk and a couple episodes of a show; babies have a bottle then go back to sleep usually

8a : Breakfast for all; Penelope has her breakfast at the table while I change and feed the twins (I will eat somewhere around this time)

9a: Everyone is changed and dressed by this time. Play time for all on the floor or coloring etc.

10a: Babies eat then go lay down; P gets morning toddler vitamin drink and a snack and one show (it is the only thing that will keep her still enough to not dump drink all over my carpets) 

12p: Babies eat; P gets lunch at the table; I eat sometime around here

We play during this time before nap

2p: Babies eat; Everyone then goes down for a nap

4p: Babies eat; P gets up and has milk and a snack

6p-7p: Everyone has a bath, milk and story then off to bed

After everyone is in bed we hang out and watch a show or two and hope they all stay asleep. Hope this is interesting to someone. Lots of Love.

Month 5 With Twins

Hello my wonderful readers. I cannot believe that these two are almost to the half way mark of their first year! Those 5 months went by so fast! 
Clothing size: Both are still in 3 month clothes but Andrew is heading into his 6 month clothes.
Sleeping: They had their little 4 month sleep regression and now are back to sleeping through the night in their own beds still in our room. Juliet has been moved from a bassinet to a pack n play. Both are tummy sleepers now. 
Feeding: They are both eating 5 oz every 2 hours still and some rice cereal at dinner time.
Routine: Aaron has been home a lot more lately so the routine has been thrown a little off but we are starting to get back on track. Babies kind of make their own schedule some days.
Firsts: First Easter (see post), First UCD Picnic Day (see post), they both are turning over front to back and back to front, both had their first food which was rice cereal, and both giggled out loud for the first time which was the most adorable thing ever.
Here are some of favorite pictures from the last month:
Here with big sister ready to watch Beauty and Beast. 
First Picnic Day with daddy!
Andrew is now just big enough to fit in the bouncer.
Perfect little smile from Juliet. Both are so happy most of the time. 
Andrew's first food. 

Juliet's first food.
Daddy reading to all of them, they all 3 love books!
Big sister loves her little brother and he follows her with his eyes all the time.
The 3 best friends that anyone could have. 
I got these outfits before they were born because Aaron loves TMNT. They held hands without prompting this time which I thought was so loving. Hope you enjoyed our update. Lots of Love.

UC Davis Picnic Day 2017

Hello my wonderful readers. We have made a little family tradition out of going to UC Davis Picnic Day every year. This year was the twins first and I think it was a wonderful family day. My husband is an alumni of the college. We had so much fun. Hope you enjoy looking at some of our day. 
 Daddy and his little man.
 All of us having our picnic on picnic day.
 She wasn't too into the parade because she had to get up early that day and was grouchy.
 Two years ago we took a picture of the 3 of us in the same place. 
 She loved the seeing all the animals, I think it was her favorite part. 
Stopping for a food break. 
The best picture that was taken all day was this one! Daddy and all his babies representing his alma mater. Hope you enjoyed this glimpse at our wonderful family day. Lots of Love.

Easter 2017

Hello my wonderful readers. I just hosted my first Easter dinner and it was the twins first Easter. The day before Easter we went to one of our favorite Apple Hill places to do an Easter egg hunt and then Easter day I hosted my first Easter dinner and it turned out very well. We invited our parents and my grandpa. Below is some of the many many photos we took both days. 
Our Easter bunny photo turned out wonderful!
 Penelope loved the Easter egg hunt, we will do it again next year if we can make it. 
 The twins loved riding around and getting the fresh air. 

Easter baskets were a hit this year. 


 The best group photo we got haha. 
 My grandpa got to hold the twins for the first time, he has seen them a couple times but never held them, it was wonderful to see. 
I hope you enjoyed this short little post about the twins first Easter, they had a good time I think. Lots of Love.
