Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Trey and Bella got their Halloween Photo taken today dressed up as Peter Pan and Tinkerbell or as we like to say Peter "Trey" and Tinker "Bella"!

Trey and Bella went trick or treating for the first time tonight! They enjoyed it and got lots of treats!

Trey and Bella had their first taste of chocolate candy courtesy of Daddy while Mommy was cleaning up the dinner! They loved it!

Sick Kids

Trey and Bella have to miss their Twin Plagroup Halloween party today because they are sick.

Trey has a viral cold, which should go away on its own. He is on cough syrup.

Bella has two ear infections and a croupy cough (not the full croup). She is on Amoxicillin and cough syrup.

The pediatrician said they are not contagious since they do not have fevers, but that since they are not feeling well, I should keep them home for 24-48 hours.

On a happy note, Bella weighs 16 pounds 11 ounces and Trey weighs 18 pounds 4 ounces! These weights are a little off since their were each fully clothed in a diaper, onesie, jeans, shirt, socks and sneakers!

Accidents

Happy Birthday Aunt Danielle!!!!! We love you!!!!

Mommy had to cancel Trey and Bella's photo appointment today because Trey accidentally hit Bella in the head with the telephone and she has a bump and a scratch.

Fun Day

Trey and Bella went out to lunch with Mommy and Mary while Daddy and John played football! They also had a short visit with Mom Mom and Pop Pop!

All Even

Trey played with Mommy in the morning while Daddy and Bella slept in a little!
Trey got tooth number 6 today! It is his upper right lateral incisor!

Trey and Bella now have six teeth each!

Daddy Day...First Zoo Day!

Daddy took the day off work today to spend it with Trey and Bella! They were very excited to see that Daddy was home from his business trip when they woke up in the morning! Daddy played with Trey and Bella while Mommy slept in!

After a visit to the Eye Doctor for Mommy and Daddy, our family went to the Philadelphia Zoo for the first time! Aunt Desiree and Cousin Olivia met us there and we all had a wonderful time!

Trey went to bed without nursing tonight for the first time! Bella does this about 50% of the time. It looks like our babies are beginning to wean! Mommy was very sad about this at first, but now she thinks she may try to wean them of only this feeding so that other's can put Trey and Bella to bed. Mommy has no plans at this point to wean Trey and Bella unless they do so themselves.

Great Progress

Trey and Bella had Physical Therapy today with Miss Donna! They are both doing great!

Bella walked about 1/2 of the time and Trey learned how to string beads!!!!!

Playgroup

Trey and Bella went to playgroup today at Skyler and Raina's house. There was a new little boy names Hunter there too! It was fun!

Trey and Bella missed Daddy very much while he was away on business.

Visits

Trey and Bella visited Mommy's friends from Villanova University today!

Cousin Evan helped Mommy watch Trey and Bella while Aunt Kim was at a school lecture. Evan was a big help!

Trey and Bella slept over at Grandmom's house with Mommy!

Sesame Place

Bella and Trey went to Sesame Place with cousin Evan today! Mommy, Aunt Kimberly and Aunt Karen were their escorts. Then ran into friends Bella and Enzo while there!

Family Dinner

Trey and Bella went to Aunt Danielle and Uncle Bobby's house for family dinner tonight! It was lots of fun! Then they went to Grandmom's house to sleep over, with Mommy of course!

Secret Mission

Trey and Bella went on their first "secret mission" today with Mommy and succeeded!

Edited to add: We got the new game system that Uncle Bobby wanted.

PT

Trey and Bella were very happy to see Miss Donna today when she came to do PT with them! She was on vacation last week getting her new puppy!

Mommy and Daddy's Turn

Mommy and Daddy woke up not feeling well today! Trey and Bella slept a lot today, but only in short 20-30 minute increments. Hopefully, they will be feeling a little better tomorrow!

Colds

Trey and Bella definitely have colds. From everything I have read, a cold is contagious for 2-3 days before symptoms begin and then 2-3 days after the start of them. So, by Wednesday, they shouldn't be contagious anymore and we can go back to our normal routines!

Night Time Fun

Trey woke up at 3:30am with a runny nose and wouldn't go back to sleep. He woke up Bella so the whole family went downstairs to the playroom bright (or dark!) and early! Bella's nose was a little runny too!

We went to the SJ Moms of Multiples Annual Hayride and Pumpkin picking outing at Johnson's Corner Farm today. Trey and Bella had lots of fun in the pumpkin patch!

By late afternoon, Trey and Bella's noses were very runny and they were both cranky! Mommy and Daddy are hoping its just teething since its clear mucus.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a walker! Bella took 20 steps in a row tonight, pausing to get her balance in between some, but never falling! Mommy and Daddy think that now counts as walking!

Out to Lunch

Trey and Bella had lunch out with Mommy and Daddy at Applebees!

We also went to Target and bought "The Little Mermaid". Oh, and to Lowe's to buy a carpet for Trey and Bella's room!

Baby Steps

Bella took 4 steps today and Trey took 2!

Mommy took Trey and Bella to the monthly Moms of Turnersville meeting today! They had lots of fun playing with all of the other kids!

New Tooth

Trey got a new tooth today! This makes 5! It is his left upper lateral incisor!

Trey and Bella went with Mommy to Gymboree to use their Gymbucks! They each got one winter outfit and one summer outfit.

New Tooth

Trey and Bella are 13 months old today!

Trey got a new tooth today! It is his right upper central incisor! He looks like two more are coming soon, so we'll see!

Trey and Bella were very good and stayed asleep for Daddy while Mommy was at her Mothers of Multiples Meeting tonight!

An Ending?

Isabella had a check up today for her ear. Her infection is finally gone after nearly 4 months!

Bella went to sleep tonight for the very first time without nursing - her choice, not Mommy's choice. Mommy is very sad and hopes this doesn't mean Bella is starting to wean herself! She has been nursing for shorter time periods lately and never signals Mommy to nurse. However, she always gets jealous when Trey wants to nurse (which is still often) and wants to nurse with him.

Fly Eagles Fly

Trey and Bella wore their new Eagles outfits today in honor of Game Day! "Fly Eagles Fly!"

Mall Time

Trey and Bella went to the mall with Mommy and Grandmom! Grandmom got them each a new pair of shoes and each a new pair of sneakers!
