[kels09]

Sexes/Ages: Boys 16 months (13 adjusted)



ID/Fraternal: Fraternal



Current Milestones: They are both able to go get some thing you ask for now. If I say bring me your bottle or go get the ball they understand and do it!  That is huge for L. 



Funny stories/comments/concerns/questions: They both got haircuts this weekend. My sister cut their hair and it was hilarious because while I was holding them in my lap my mom was jumping up and down, dancing and singing to keep them still while my sister snipped away. My sister and I were laughing so hard. Also E has was streaking though the house naked and just stopped mid streak opened his legs and bent over with his head to the floor so he could stare at his family jewels. He has discovered he is a boy!



QOTW: What is your hobby/hobbies? I don't have a lot of time for hobbies anymore but I do love to read and scrapbook. I look forward to the day I can put the pictures we have taken of the kids since the boys were born in a few scrapbooks.

Sexes/Ages: 6 y/o twin boys

ID/Fraternal: frat

Current Milestones: Learning how to read!

Funny stories/comments/concerns/questions: In January my boys had separate birthday parties for the first time. "Oliver"'s party was on Saturday and he got a lot of Legos as gifts. He's amazed us by building most of the sets (all marked ages 7-12) all by himself just by looking at the directions. When we remarked tonight on what a great job he'd done, he said, "I've been working on these to make my brain more powerful."

QOTW: What is your hobby/hobbies? Social media. Reading, running, playing the guitar, traveling, experimenting with new recipes that are frugal/international/healthy/easy. I don't have a lot of true hobbies but I love getting together with friends for deep conversations, food and/or shopping. I love hunting for bargains.

My DH has been playing WoW since my 11 yr old DD was an infant. He was part of the beta and is currently beta testing another Blizzard game. I have never played but I know all the places and the different characters they have. DD plays now too. How long have you been playing?

[harti09]

Sexes/Ages: b/g 2 year old twins

Current Milestones: Understanding sharing and taking turns.

Funny stories/comments/concerns/questions: We had to separate them due to twin shenanigans shortly after making the transition out of cribs. They now have different rooms. DS tucks his sister in. He kisses her on the check and pats her head - totally mimicking the good night routine we do for the kids. He did it completely unprompted once and now does it every night without fail. He takes his job very seriously.

QOTW: What is your hobby/hobbies? Cooking. I was in culinary school, but twins and a cross country move have placed that on hold for a few years. Experimenting with authentic international cuisine and creating gorgeous plate presentations make me smile.

DH and I started playing in the summer of 2006.  He started and introduced me.  I've been a gamer all my life and instantly got hooked.  DH and I both played straight through until May/June of 2013, never taking a break from the game.  We only stopped because it made sense with the twins coming.  We just picked it back up just after Christmas - the new expansion pack was a gift to each other.  He likes to play healer roles, I'm all about dealing damage.

We're Horde side and hoping to make little Hordlings out of the girls in the future.

3.5 yo girls. We are not sure if they are identical or not.

They are starting to play together so much better lately. They are really into sharing and taking turns this week. I am really hoping this isn't just a phase.

My hobbies are crochet and knitting.

These are all great , loving the milestones and funny stories.

Sexes/Ages: 10 weeks pregnant with twins & a 2 YO son



ID/Fraternal: No clue (Do you find this out during a later US or after they are born?)



Current Milestones: Nada



Funny stories/comments/concerns/questions: I have my 2nd US today - I am nervous/excited. My first US is when we found out we were having twins - and to say that was shocking is an understatement. I almost cant even recall it...



QOTW: What is your hobby/hobbies? Right now just running after a toddler. I love to read ans wish I could do more of it. I finally got over the half way point in the 11/22/63 book by Stephen King. We are also almost done with our house renovations - I guess that could be considered a hobby!

Sexes/Ages: 7m old girls


ID/Fraternal: Fraternal


Current Milestones: G can sit unassisted, J is getting there. J is eating solids, G still refuses.


Funny stories/comments/concerns/questions: Still struggling some days. Both are still nursing, J loves solids and G doesn't want to try them so I haven't been giving them often. How do other MoM's handle that? Do you just wait until they're both ready, or just feed one and keep offering?

Another question... one is biting A LOT while nursing, no teeth yet (THANK GOODNESS) and the other doesn't. When I remove the biter and tell her no, it freaks the other one out. Anyone deal with this? I think we're going to have to start nursing one at a time, rather than tandem, but I really don't want to do that... but until she gets her biting under control, I may have to.


QOTW: What is your hobby/hobbies? I used to write, but haven't since... well, awhile. I like to read when I can, I used to play video games (RPGs) a lot. I sew, crochet, make wall pieces; I like crafting. I don't have time for hobbies since having the twins, but I'm hoping to set aside a little time before I lose my mind.

Sexes/Ages: Boys, 16 months



ID/Fraternal: Fraternal



Current Milestones: New words, learning to use a spoon, and we FINALLY seem to be making some sleep progress.



Funny stories/comments/concerns/questions: The other day we were getting out of the car. I put C's hat on and he said, "Hat." DH said, "T, can you say hat?" T nods his head, "Yes." It was funnier than it sounds. Lol



QOTW: What is your hobby/hobbies? Back when I had free time, reading, scrapbooking, and sewing.

[anotherdreamer]

I've been doing purées, both seemed uninterested in puffs so haven't tried more solid types. DD2 is a boob girl, she's a bit mommy obsessed, I think she just prefers that and the comfort it brings her. DD1 will seriously lunge at the spoon though, she has always been more independent (not very cuddly) and always nursed less. I've been offering puréed food about 1-3 times a week, not consistently since DD2 won't eat any. I feel like DD1 would like more, but this not being on the same page (even remotely) has me confused and yet laid back about it lol.

Sexes/Ages:
B/G 3 months actual, 1 month adjusted


ID/Fraternal:
Fraternal


Current Milestones:
They are both really holding their heads up well and starting to smile and interact with DH and I so much more' I feel like they are developmentally way ahead of their adjusted age, but not quite equal to their actual age. It's really exciting to see them starting to do more.
One question I do have- it seems like some days their naps are synched up and other days they are on completely opposite schedules. Any tips for how to get them on the same nap schedule at set times? We feed them both at the same time.


Funny stories/comments/concerns/questions:
We left them with my parents at our house to go meet some friends for brunch. Before we left I told my mom they could give them baths if she wanted to. A couple of hours later we got a text from my dad saying little man had peed all over both if them and my kitchen in the bathing process. I totally warned them to keep him covered with a wash cloth to avoid that happening, but apparently they didn't listen well.


QOTW: What is your hobby/hobbies?
I used to have lots of hobbies but most of them are getting neglected. I am really into digital scrap booking right now since I can do that one handed while holding a baby.

We've always done one up both up and tandem nursed... Mine have always napped when they felt like it. Sometimes it's at the same time, most of the time it's not. So no advice here, just commiseration and saying it's the norm here. Mine do go to bed together at night, but naps have always been hit or miss here.

Just saw your other post so this response isn't needed
