We have been to disneyland, started solids with the babes, and begun the preschool adventure. We ventured down to disneyland for Peter's mom's 60th birthday adventure and yes, we took all 3. Peter's parents were amazing and took Anna in the air with them and Peter and I drove down with the babes. Who, not to forget were absolute champs! They only woke up to feed once. Although, the battery powered pump made it possible to meet their feeding needs without even having to stop! We met the fam at the gates at 7:30 AM and hit disneyland with full force. Anna is still talking about Dumbo and Peter Pan and currently flies everywhere she goes, "just like Peter Pan mama." It's pretty cute. She's also loving her cape "just like Snow White." She's getting quite good at matching her princess outfits as of late as well. We met the princesses of which "Sweeping booty" was Anna's favorite. It was magical, more so after nap time with our sweet little lady. The babes were such good troopers, hung out in the stroller and loved riding in front packs. They also were compliant with a good nap at the hotel while Anna slept as well. Shocking yes as napping is not their strong suits, especially our Abby.
As for the preschool adventure, Anna started at Little Sprouts Preschool on Sept. 1st. I must say my mommy guilt kicks in once again and I have yet to get a picture of her heading to preschool and ready. I had great plans of taking just the right shot of her as we left the house but our time out the door was rushed, she slept in later than normal and it was just a struggle to get her dressed and fed before we had to leave. So, I chose a cute outfit and a full tummy over just the right picture. The important things right? So, I will get a picture soon....still working on it (: As for going to "school," she abosolutely loves it! It's a great environment for her, they are a "green" school so it's all used toys, they do crafts with recycled paper and paper towel rolls, they garden and eat organic good for you foods which I abosolutely love. I love that they teach the little ones that you don't need something new to have fun. She comes home singing songs and when I ask her what she did it's always followed by "played with kids mama."
As for my sweet sweet babes, they just get sweeter by the day. Mr. Daniel is just such a love and I can't help but snuggle him every chance I get. He's my snuggler. He loves to wake up slow and cuddle me until he's ready to play and spit out his paci. As for my happy Abby, she wakes up and is ready to either scream, get held and then play or wakes up happy and ready to play, she's not too into snuggling unless it's 2 AM and she's full of mommy milk and ready to go back down. Daniel is loving the exersaucer as of late and especially loves the rattle bear on it. Abby still loves just rolling around and the activity mat and is just starting to warm up to the exersaucer. Daniel is beginning to scoot a little bit, more getting his feet under him, pushing off and then face planting but he makes it a few feet. Abby, not even close.
We did start feeding the babes. I was working one night and Peter decided it was a good idea to start food in lew of getting the babies to sleep longer. Did it work, NOPE. So, they started brown rice cereal first then onto Avocado, banana, butternut squash, prunes, peaches and today was peas. Daniel is a little unsure about the whole eating thing and loves to just make a mess. He loves holding the spoon and getting it into his mouth. It's a must to make him eat naked otherwise it's just a mess even with a bib. Abby, aka "Jabba" (because she's quite rolly these days) loves to eat. The babe loves to eat anything and everything! On the downside, she has been beyond constipated and it's been so sad to watch her struggle through a little poop. We've been through the ringer with her so far just to get her pooping and today, I almost did a happy dance because she pooped. So, for Abby no cereal for a couple weeks until we restart her system. Daniel continues to be the happy go lucky little guy and poops at least every other day without blinking an eye. Abby just has had a rougher time adjusting to everything but is such a love. She continues to just love to be with you, she loves just gazing at me while I nurse and she's started to grab my face. She loves to just be with you. Daniel just loves to laugh and "tell jokes." He grabs my face and just cracks up. Ug, these babes are just loves. And my sweet sweet Anna is just so fun to be with. She's so fun to have conversations with these days and listen to her stories. I just love my littles.....and my rockstar husband.
