September


September is almost over, but we still have some things to show you. This blog is dedicated to Caden and Ava, since it has been a while since they have made a presence. The first picture is Ava in her pig tails showing off her Play-doh jewelry.

Caden also has developed a need to carry things in his pockets or his hands. In the picture above, you see him with his favorite "McQueen" car (from the movie Cars) and in his left hand is 2 Chinese RMB coins. He takes them everywhere and is always looking for "money". Today, he took my money off my night stand and had it in his pocket. I think a piggy bank would make a good Christmas present - * hint * . Maybe CNN talking about Wall Street all the time is wearing off on him. This picture is of him showing off his muscles.

These days the twins are learning what the "potty" is as it sits right next to the big toilet in the bathroom. They are also starting to wear "un-dee's". Ava is way more on top of it and willing than Caden but we expected this from everything everyone has told us. Yes, girls advance faster. We figure he'll come around in due time. So far we have only had a handfull of mishaps. (No pictures here - you'll have to use your imagination.) We have also dismantled the cribs and they are sleeping in their own beds thanks to IKEA.

Today we spent some time at the pool as in September the weather is still warm enough to enjoy it. As you can see the kids have everything they need to be all decked out for pool and they love it. (Look out Brandon soon they'll be catchin' you!)

Caden has also developed a liking for music. Ava dances to the music and Caden plays the guitar when he's not dancing as well. Hilarious. I want to show Caden an AC/DC video so Caden can imitate Angus Young but Sabrina won't let me. I had Johnny Cash, why can't Caden have Angus Young...?? Actually, I think I understand.

Ava is more the color, sticker book, and artist type. As you can see here doing her finger painting. Most of the paint managed to end up on the paper.

Until next time...our kids will continue to grow.
