One more Halloween video.

Before I give a long overdue update, I wanted to post a Halloween clip that I intended to post after the one where Taylor walks. They love to put things into containers (and take them out again). Here we are putting the extra candy away on Halloween:

Taylor Walks!!!!!

Listen for Teddy's "uh-oh" when Taylor smacks him in the head with her CD player as he crawls past.

Happy Halloween!

We have some SUPER exciting news! Taylor can WALK!!!! She has been taking 2-3 steps here and there for about 2 weeks now, but today she has been walking like crazy. She still prefers to crawl, but we have never seen her try this hard. The video is uploading. While you wait, here are some cute pictures from the pumpkin patch that we went to on Columbus Day when Daddy had the day off.

Daddy and twins waiting for the hayride:

Here is Teddy making a break for the pumpkins:


Where did that pumpkin come from?


Hiyeeeeeeeee!

Bubbe and Taylor go for a walk.

Taylor is getting very close to walking. She took a few steps yesterday!! She was holding a toy hockey stick in one hand (dad was SO proud) and a plastic turtle in the other hand. I think the key is to keep both hands busy so she forgets that she has to hold onto something.

Anyhow, I recently uploaded a new video to YouTube from Bubbe's visit a couple weeks ago. Here she is taking Taylor into Sak's to show her some of the finer things in life.

Notice anything new?

I've been playing around with the background and I think that I found one that I really like. What do you think? I'm still searching for an updated picture that I can use for the top.

I wanted to post some more pictures from the summer...

Here we are playing with cousin Joely. She introduced us to the deliciously wonderful Baby Mum Mums (also known as baby crack).


Here's Taylor and cousin Dylan hanging out on the swing with their moms.


You may have seen this picture on Dylan's blog. Halloween came early this year.


More fun with cousins... Daniel and Andrew are dressed just like the twins!


Teddy & Taylor LOVED swimming in the lake in their floating ducks.


Here we are watching Elmo for the first time. We were wildly fascinated... for about 10 minutes.


Peek-a-boo! I see you!

Time flies when you're having fun!

I can't believe the summer is almost over. I am a bit behind in my blogging, so I will try to post more often. We have so many cute pictures of the babies from this summer. Here is just one of many.


The babies are now 14 months old! Nobody is walking yet, but they are both very good at standing. The last doctor's appointment was in August. Teddy weighed in at 18lbs, 3oz, and Taylor weighed in at 19lbs, 12oz. Teddy measured 27.5" and Taylor was 29".

He we are having some snacks in the doctor's office while we waited for the doctor.

Standing Milestones

Both Teddy and Taylor reached some standing milestones today. Taylor stood without ANY support for a good 10-20 seconds. It's probably only a matter of weeks until she walks! Meanwhile, Teddy finally learned how to pull himself up to standing. We were so proud of him. I tried to get a video, but he kept stopping every time I took the camera out. I finally got something, but it does not show his full ability. He can pull up and stay up. Check it out:
