Nagymama Latagotasa!
Victor's mom (Nagymama is how they say "grandmother" in Hungarian) came to visit us in NJ for the first time. The babies were very excited to see her and we had lots of fun! Here's Teddy showing Nagymama one of his favorite books.
We took Nagymama to one of Jersey's most popular national monuments.... the mall. While Teddy was sleeping, Taylor spotted the Carousel and just HAD to go for a ride. She was smiling the entire time.
When Taylor says "cheese" for the camera she tends to squint her eyes up like this:
So after this picture I asked her to keep her eyes open and we got this shot:
Taylor really liked Nagymama's necklace with the pretty beads.
Nagymama brought them some really cute clothes. Taylor is modeling one of her new outfits in the picture above, and here's Teddy in on of his new outfits:
After Nagymama left, Teddy was so wiped out from all the fun that he passed out on his chair.

May Update & Pictures
Both twins are saying more and more every day! A couple weeks ago, Teddy finally learned how to say "no". At first it sounded like "DOH!" but he's getting the hang of it. Taylor has more words than I can count. Taylor's favorite word (and food) is "apple". Teddy's favorite word (and food) is "cheese". Although when he says "cheese" it's usually because there is a camera in his face. Check out the latest pictures.
Like father, like daughter:
Taylor wearing mommy's first diaper (that's the first diaper I made). I started switching over to cloth diapers a few weeks ago. It's so fun and easy. I really wish I had done it sooner! I even set up a separate blog to chronicle my diaper journey. Check it out.
Playing with the Thomas trains at Barnes & Noble.
Mommy and Daddy do a double diaper change (we're still in disposable diapers sometimes, like overnight and if we are going to be out for awhile).
Cheeeeeese! Our little musical prodigy.
We got some new patio furniture that is temporarily living in the living room / play room until we have our back yard set up. We're getting a fence to toddler proof the backyard. The new loveseat was a big hit!
Bubbe taught us how to do downward dog. Check out our fluffy butts. Taylor is modeling a one-size pink Bum Genius 3.0 and Teddy is sporting a medium blue FuzziBunz.
Standard crib shot. Bubbe likes to take one of these every time she visits.

A Day in the Life...
Most days we spend a lot of time hanging out in our playroom (translation: mommy and daddy's unfurnished living room). We have a wicked awesome time running around and throwing all our toys over the gate. In this video clip, Bubbe is talking to Taylor on the phone. You can hear Bubbe because she's on speaker phone. Meanwhile, Teddy is walking around being his cute adorable self. Watch Taylor demonstrate her advanced knowledge of anatomy.
Spring is here!
I realize that not everyone has Facebook, so here are the pics that I put up on Facebook a few weeks ago. Enjoy!

Taylor & Teddy at Build-A-Bear
We just got back from our first experience at Build-A-Bear. We were going to let Teddy and Taylor pick something out and go through the whole process. We showed them all the different animals and Taylor immediately became very attached to a lamb carcass. I think those things are kind of creepy without the stuffing, but she was hugging and kissing it like crazy.
Teddy, however, wasn't interested in any of the animals. He pushed them all away. So, we headed off to the stuffing machine with one lamb and two rambunctious babies. As you'll see in the video, Teddy fell in love with the little hearts that you stick inside the animals before you stuff them.

Updates Galore!
Taylor's vocabulary has been taking off like crazy! She now calls me "mommy", but sometimes it sounds more like "mee-mee". She also says shoes, night-night, it's mine, thank you, nice, and a bunch of other things I can't think of right now. Teddy talks a lot too, but you can't really understand what he's saying. I think it's because he is speaking primarily in Hungarian ;)
Get ready for picture overload! The first one is from our play group in early February. Here we are making some Tu Bishvat artwork. They are really good with crayons now, and they actually put the stickers on themselves.
For a tasty treat in February, Daddy put chocolate chips in our pancakes. We LOVED them and gobbled them right up.
Teddy sometimes gets very sleepy before lunch. Here he is taking a quick 15 minute nap on the couch in the playroom. You can see Taylor in the corner. She was petting him and saying, "nice, nice", just like how she pets Major Nelson (our cat).
We found this awesome Hannah Montana unitard for Taylor that she loves to dance in. The tutu was added for maximum dancing enjoyment. This little dance recital took place on March 1st. There's a video of her running around in it that I might post later.
A couple weeks ago we dressed up for our first Purim carnival. Mommy found a great deal on these super cute devil costumes from Pottery Barn Kids ($60 Halloween costumes on super clearance for $5!). Without the devil ears they kind of looked like little red dragons. Anyhow, here's a bunch of pictures from the carnival:
Daddy's little devil boy.
Temple Shalom's version of Plinko.
Taylor makes a slam dunk.
Teddy cruises the floor while Taylor noshes on a soft pretzel.
Last week the weather started warming up and we were taking a walk through the neighborhood. Some boys were riding on skateboards and the twins were mesmerized. We stopped to watch them for a bit. Taylor is wearing Teddy's hat because she took it off his head and put it on her own head.
After lots of looking in stores and googling, we finally found a desk for our kitchen! The babies are watching one of their favorite YouTube videos while admiring the new desk.
