March 2009

 We've had a busy month of activities. We became members of the Tennessee Aquarium and the Chattanooga Zoo. I was a seller at a CAMOMC consignment sale. We also attended Carter's 2nd birthday party.

The party was a blast. They experienced a pinata and face painting. They both wanted "rocket" from the Little Einsteins. Ethan kept whining that Andrew had "rocket" because he would forget that his face had one too.

We enjoy visiting grandparents too. Look at the great tower Papa made. They are past the stage of immediately tearing down things. When they broke this tower they kept wanting us to "build" it back the way it was. 

I've hosted two play dates for mothers of multiples this past month. We sure do fill up the house fast when everyone brings twins.  The noise level is high enough that we aren't able to have deep conversations but it is a way to connect us and help develop friendships and support networks. It's also nice to know we are not alone in the struggles we face.

 
The video at the end is about 3 minutes so it might load slowly but it's worth the wait to see Ethan's vocabulary. This is flash cards that have paintings with various objects numbering up to five. Ethan can say something on every card. There's a bit of a jiggle at 40 seconds because Andrew grabs for the camera. The noise in the background is Andrew "playing" his trumpet.
