9 Months (and some pictures)

Happy 9 months to H & G today!!  Kind of hard to believe...

Christmas was pretty good.  They didn't enjoy unwrapping their gifts at all, which was so very disappointing, but they did like everything once it was away from the tree and in their room.  I think they were just overwhelmed by the whole experience.  They got tons of new toys, including one of these things which is AWESOME!!!!  Thanks to J's parents for that one.  H & G love it!

As an extra special Xmas treat, the roomie's baby mama brought his daughter over for a little while!  Things are going slightly better on that front, but definitely still not ideal.  It was the first time H & G got to meet baby E... She and G really hit it off (well, as much as 9 month olds can!).  Oh and she happened to be wearing the same red and white argyle tights as H!  And as G's tie!!  Hoping for lots more playdates for the three of them.

Happy [almost] 2012 to everyone!  2011 was a pretty great year.

***By the way... The weird mushrooms and trees on the wall came with the house.  We did not paint them!  There is also a sun on the ceiling and (I shit you not) a "portrait" of what I can only assume is meant to be God around one of the windows (we covered that one up with bookcases).  We plan to paint over all the weird crap eventually, but since it's in the library/spare bedroom, we usually just close the door and ignore it.

Crawling!

I was Sky.ping with my dad and step-mom the other day while J was at work...  I had the laptop on the kitchen floor so they could see the babies, and guess who decided he reeeeeeeeeally wanted to play with the laptop!  I don't think my dad fully grasped the fact that he was seeing his grandson crawl for the first time ever, but that's okay.  At least I had my phone handy and got it on video!  J was a little sad she wasn't here to see it, but she was still so excited for little Gman and showed the video to everyone at work.

H hasn't learned to crawl-crawl yet, but she still manages to slither faster than G can crawl.  Silly girl.

Now that they're mobile, they are everywhere.  They love the dogs and follow them all over the house.  This is their favorite place to hang out whenever the dogs are outside:
