Tula

At long last a big grin from Tula!

Junior in his new outfit.

Tula waiting her turn for a bath.

Inka watching the twins.

Inka getting cosy.

And this is the best thing since sliced bread!!!! I can do almost anything :)

I didn't realize I would have postpartum munchies for weird food - I just had THREE strawberry sandwiches. Had to have them. With butter on the bread and nicely sliced juicy strawberries.


Anyways... a couple of cute videos, this time we got Tula smiling. I don't know if she was happy to be punching away at Junior, but I'm sure he'll get her back for it someday. And some new pictures through the Flickr link.


Other news

- both kids are growing out of their clothes faster than I can pull out the bigger stuff,

- Tula has a birthmark on her tush (is she going to kill me for posting this?) and

- they've both found their fists and are actively shoving them in their mouths
- cute little smiles are slowly changing into full blown giggles!

xoxo to all

vaccinations

Tula and Junior had their first vaccinations yesterday. They were very brave and cried only briefly. The doctor and nurse were very surprised when I asked that they allow me to breastfeed while they give the injection but afterwords admitted that the kids cried much shorter than usual.
Today we're off to the summer cottage for the long weekend where we will have tons of help from the in laws.

There is actually a little smile in there, but she just loves to yawn.

This smile is especially for my aunt Agi - I miss her!!!

first flight

Last night we returned from our first long trip - the twins and I flew to Stockholm for a vet cardiology conference. My mother in law came to help me out with the babies. Needless to say I was a little worried how this would all work. But all went well. Junior and Tula are the bestest!! No hysterical crying, no troubles, they didn't even poop until we got to the hotel (he he, just kidding). We were all tired when we got home and couldn't be happier to be here, but very satisfied with the whole trip. Couldn't have done it without the institution of 'Grandma'. She was great and the babies loved her. Here's a couple of pics of the two traveling buddies and later, when relaxing while mommy is listening to smart people talking about smart things.

smiles

Hi all,

Agi just left :( - sooo sad. I didn't cry until I got into the car. We had a great cry, the three of us, Junior was the loudest. He was probably upset that Agi left right before he gave her a big smile.
Both Junior and Tula have been smiling for about a week now, but in the last two days the smiles were a response to my babbling - it was really exciting! Bet you're wondering where Tula came from. It's short for Agata -> Agatula -> Tula.
Gotta finish, somebody is calling for food...
