Bella weighs 14 pounds and Trey weighs 15 pounds and 6 ounces!!!!
Mommy went into the nursery today to find Miss Isabella standing up in her crib!
Mommy nearly had a heart attack as the crib was only lowered half way. Daddy lowered both cribs all the way when he got home from work today!

Friendly Competition
Trey learned how to go from the crawling position to sitting up today!
Trey and Bella both learned how to pull themselves into a fully standing position today by holding onto the couch and the leap start learning table! I think they are having a little competition!

Happy Father's Day
Happy First Father's Day to Daddy! Trey and Bella got Daddy some framed photos and we went out to breakfast with Pop Pop!
Mommy and Daddy tried putting Trey and Bella in their new inflatable bathtub inside the big bathtub tonight and they both screamed the entire time! I guess we will be using the baby bathtub for a while more!

Bye-Bye Sea Shore
Today is the last day of vacation - boo!
Bella went on the old fashioned cars while Trey was sleeping on the way to the water park, where we spent the day!
We then went to the casino to cash in our tickets for a prize for Trey and Bella and got an angel fish rocker by Step 2!
Then it was off to buy fudge and salt water taffy before heading back to the house to bath the babies and pack up the car!

Happy Anniversary
Today is Mommy and Daddy's 4th wedding anniversary!
Trey and Bella went to the swimming pool at the Cara Mara Motel and had a great time!
Grandmom and Aunt Kimberly took Trey and Bella to the boardwalk this evening with cousin Evan while Mommy and Daddy went to the Palm in Atlantic City for dinner!
This was the first time that someone other than Mommy put Trey and Bella to bed. Grandmom and Aunt Kim said they did great!

Cape May Zoo
Grandmom took Trey and Bella for a nice morning walk while letting Mommy sleep in today!
Trey and Bella went to their first zoo - the Cape May County Zoo! They saw a lion, a tiger, two bears, lots of monkeys, some peacocks, a hug turtle, lots of kangaroos, three giraffes, and many zebras!
Trey refused all baby food today and only ate grown up food! So much for the freezer stash!
Trey and Bella did not want to go to bed tonight and both stayed up late!

Water Park
Today was a beautiful day! Trey and Bella went to the water park for the first time! Trey loved the water! He splashed the entire time. Bella took a little longer to get used to it but then had a blast! Trey and Bella even went down the small water slide in the kiddie pool with Mommy!
We attempted to have dinner at the Wharf tonight, but all three kids (Trey, Bella and Evan) were all cranky so we got our dinner to go!

Rain, Rain, Go Away
It was very rainy today, so we stayed inside and took lots of naps!
Trey and Bella tried two new foods today! They loved hot dogs! The eggplant was just okay!
Once the rain stopped, we took Trey and Bella to Kelly's Pub for dinner and then went to the boardwalk and the Olympic Casino.

Baby food....no thanks
Trey and Bella napped with Daddy today while Mommy went to Samual's pancake house with the rest of the group for Breakfast.
Then we went to the beach, whick only lasted for 5 minutes since it was so windy! Trey hated the wind and so did Mommy so we left! We took a quick dip in the pool at Cara Mara Motel, where our family friend is the manager.
Trey and Bella took a quick nap before going to dinner at Little Italy, where Trey and Bella had chicken parm!
Trey and Bella have decided that they prefer grown up food over baby food and now get very made when Mommy tries to give them baby food! We still have a lot in the freezer at home, so we are going to try to push that until its all gone.
After dinner, Daddy, Aunt Dani and Uncle Bobby went home and Mommy, Grandmom and Aunt Kim took the three kids to the boardwalk where we rode on the Balloon Race!

Boardwalk
Today Trey and Bella went to the boardwalk with Mommy, Daddy, Grandmom, Aunt Kim, Evan, Aunt Dani and Uncle Bobby. Trey and Bella went to the pink elephants and the carousel. They also had their first experience at the casino ~ the kiddie casino where you get prizes instead of money!
Trey and Bella played a few games and Trey won an Eagles football player teddy bear and Bella won an Eagles football cheerleader teddy bear! Cousin Evan won a ball and won a Phillies Teddy Bear for Trey!
We had the famous Curley's french fries for lunch (not Trey and Bella since they are made with peanut oil) and went to Groff's for dinner!

Vacation
Today is the first day of Trey and Bella's first vacation! Mommy and Daddy took them to Wildwood, where Mommy and the babies will be staying with Grandmom, Aunt Kimberly and Cousin Evan for the week. Daddy has to work, so he will be spending the weekend and then going home to take care of Cara and Mia before returning to the shore on Thursday night! Aunt Danielle and Uncle Bobby are coming down for the weekend too!
Today, Mommy, Daddy, Trey and Bella went for a long walk to the boardwalk. On the way home, it poured rain and Mommy and Daddy got soaked! Trey and Bella had a stroller rain cover over them, but still got a little wet and didn't like it very much!

Little Models
Mommy took Trey and Bella to Kiddie Kandid's to get some reprints of their photo session and their photos are in the display book! They are using the photo of the babies together that is at the top of this page and the close up of Isabella by herself. I guess we have little models on our hands!

NICU Follow-up
Trey and Bella had their NICU Follow up today. Everything went well and we got all of the same information as we did at the Pediatrician yesterday.
Trey and Bella tried yogurt today and loved it!
Mommy went to her first Moms of Multiples Meeting tonight. It was a lot of fun! There are 135 Moms in the club!

Check up
Trey and Bella had their "9 month" check up today! Dr. Dave said they are both doing great! He was amazed that they hadn't been in for a sick visit since their 6 month check up!
Dr. Dave commented on how well behaved they were, each sitting in the stroller patiently while Mommy was helping him with the other baby!
He was very happy to hear they are not big criers and will sit in their highchairs in restaurants while Mommy and Daddy eat. He encouraged Mommy to continue not putting restrictions on where we can take them since they are babies. He is a strong believer that they can be taken anywhere, and this is how they learn to behave in different situations.
Trey weighs 14 pounds and 6 ounces (3rd percentile for his corrected age), is 26 inches long (25th percentile for his corrected age), and his head circumference is 44 centimeters(50th percentile for his corrected age)!
Bella weighs 13 pounds and 3 ounces (3rd percentile for her corrected age), is 25 3/4 inches long (25th percentile for her corrected age), and her head circumference is 43 centimeters (50th percentile for her corrected age)!
Dr. Dave was very impressed with them at the visit and said that they are doing great developmentally, doing things that many of his 9 month old full-term babies are not doing (they both waved for him and tried to clap for him)!
Dr. Dave said they are ready to be taken off baby food! We will be finishing the homemade baby food that we have in the freezer and then Trey and Bella will begin eating whatever Mommy and Daddy (okay, Daddy!) are serving for dinner! Table food here we come!
Dr. Dave did say to avoid raisins, nuts, whole eggs, honey and seafood. Bella and Trey can now have some things that we have been avoiding until now, such as foods cooked with eggs, milk and cheese, yogurt, pudding, citrus, strawberries, and small amounts of whole milk!
Dr. Dave also said that Trey and Bella can be cut down to 4 nursing sessions per day if Mommy wishes! Or, we can continue on-demand nursing. They are now ready and able to have the majority of their calories from table food. Since many days, Trey and Bella only nurse 4-5 times anyway (not counting night time nursing), Mommy thinks we will try moving to 4 times a day when we return from vacation. We will also try to cut out the night feedings since Trey and Bella don't eat much then anyway. Mommy will try to just rock them when they wake up at night unless they really want to eat.
Trey and Bella also each got two vaccinations - Hepatitis B and Polio. They did great and only cried for a few seconds. Dr. Dave gave us forms to have blood drawn to test for lead and anemia levels, which is his standard practice at this age. We will review the results and the one year (yikes) check up on September 5, 2006 unless there is a concern.
Trey and Bella tried blueberries today! They weren't so sure about them! We will try again tomorrow at breakfast!
