We spent some more time at Gramma and Papa's house and the girls got to hang out with Aunt Carol and Uncle Tony too. Leia has a new favorite person, Aunt Carol. They took a 2 hour nap together and Leia's been in love with her since. Mira seemed to really like Tony, and Adia loves them both. We went to the beach and Mira didn't eat quite so much sand.


The twins didn't like it when Adia took off to the water with Gramma though. They wanted in on the fun too.




They didn't get too far before Leia took a header into the sand so I had to pick them both up. We had fun though.




Adia let us know it was time to leave, but telling us she had too pee. Too bad the hike back was just a little too far. We made it into the bathroom and just as I was unzipping her jeans, she couldn't hold it anymore and she peed. I felt so bad for her.


Adia's had some fun at home too. DiDi took the twins and Adia and I hung out. Mostly she sat in the sun on the porch and played with water and chalk. She was soaking wet, ice cold and covered in chalk, but she played for ages and was so happy. Luckily, I was able to get the mess off her clothes too.


Yesterday, Daddy took Adia on errands while I took the twins to Costco. They rode in the cart and studied everything. They were actually pretty easy. I wish all stores had double carts. It would make shopping way easier.


Today was the twin's 9mo check up. It's almost a month late, but it's nearly impossible to get 2 appointments together with their pediatrician anymore. Mira is 27in and 18 lbs 10oz. She's 20% for height and 35% for weight. Leia is 27.4in and 17 lbs 9.4oz. She's 35% for height and 20% for weight. I thought it was funny that they were complete opposites percentile-wise. Both are completely healthy and hitting their milestones ahead of schedule. She was surprised to know that Mira claps, Leia loves to bang toys together and both babies crawl, pull up and cruise. She also couldn't believe that Mira's standing unassisted now. No shots today (Yay! Adia was worried they'd need some) and they're not anemic. I can't believe that their next appointment will be at a year and that's only a couple months away! How did that happen???

Wild Weather

Our weather has been crazy lately. Sun half the day and rain the next. That happened to us a couple days ago. I promised Adia a walk when Mira woke up, but then it was raining! We took a walk anyway, but it poured. I’m very glad my stroller came with a rain cover.

A few days before it had poured rain as well so Adia and I managed to make some cookies,

and paint some pictures.

We were very grateful it was nice yesterday though. Papa had the day off and Gramma wasn’t subbing so we decided to visit. Adia was happy to have Papa to play with.

The twins got to experience grass for the first time too. We discovered that Leia is the grass eater and Mira was just confused by the stuff.

As usual, the girls had fun playing in the living room after dinner too.

Let’s Go Fly a Kite

We had another impromptu coast trip last week. The weather was gorgeous and Adia wanted to go to the beach. We picked up Gramma and headed to the beach. It was absolutely wonderful. Hardly any wind, lots of sun and warmth. The twins experienced sand for the first time too. We set them down and they attempted crawling. Mira is our sand eater though. Yuck. She just kept eating it, no matter how closely we watched her.

Adia and I played in the water. It was freezing, which is pretty typical for the Oregon Coast. We splashed and ran from the waves.

After playing in the water, Daddy and Adia dug a deep hole. That eventually led to Adia chest deep in the sand. I think we’ll be finding sand in her pockets for months.

Then it was time for kite flying. Adia’s never flown a kite before and she was so excited. Daddy helped her get it in the air and she ran all over the beach with it.

  The storm clouds started to arrive so we knew it was time to leave. I don’t think Adia ever wanted to leave.
