Toddler Time!

Reese came over tonight while her brother got to go to Cirque du Soleil with the parents.  The only problem was that I was in class all day and wouldn’t be able to get home in time for the drop-off.  So, Jes had to fly solo with her for the first 30 minutes until Bang and Vyl came over with Rowan to do some laundry and then I arrived another 45 minutes later.  I’ve had Reese in my care before but she’s usually asleep while I’m entertaining Jack.  This was the first time I’ve had to entertain, feed, and change her and she was so much fun.

She’s crawling, standing, and babbling up a storm.  She also ate really well and surprisingly didn’t make much of a mess.  Jes even made an attempt at feeding her for the first time.

Rowan started off kinda grumpy but warmed up to the action.  He even helped rearrange our furniture a bit.

Double Trouble

This evening I drove down to visit Ishya, Billy, and the babies at the hospital.  The new mommy and daddy looked exhausted and were running on fumes but had enough energy for some photos with Sadie and Theo.  I also had the chance to log on to the hospital’s WiFi long enough to get a FaceTime call to Ranee and Jamie so that they could say “hello” to the happy family.  Once again, technology proves its usefulness in these special occasions.

Ishya looks great and is recovering the best she can while Billy is helping out and now the Super Swaddler.

Ishya was even brave enough to take a photo while holding both of the babies at once.

Here’s a photo of me with the little ones.  It was so fun meeting them for the first time.  Sounds like Sadie is the feisty one and Theo is the laid back one for now.

When I placed them together, they seemed to soothe each other and took turns fussing.  Sadie is on the left with the bow and Theo is on the right.  Billy and Ishya have a lot of work in store for them but it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun too.

Here are the rest of the photos from their second day of life.
