They have decided they love to play in the swimming pool. They weren't so sure for a while. I think it was the water temperature.
The girls have been sleeping about 12 hours straight thru!!! Finally!!! They started about 4 nights before we went to TN and the trip messed them up. They kept me up all night the last 2 nights we were there and it took Maggie a few days at home to get straightened out. It is a good thing they are sleeping at night because they sure don't nap. They take 1 to 3 half hour naps during the day. It really isn't enough but we had our 9 month checkup Friday and the doctor isn't concerned as long as they are sleeping at night.
Maggie has passed Nattie up in weight. They are 6 ozs. apart just like when they were born. Maggie is 17.17 and 26.5 inches long and Nattie is 17.8 and 27 inches long. The doc said they look great.
We are a little over a month away from Nattie's scheduled surgery. I can't wait until that is behind us.
The biggest news...........we got a puppy!!! I have been saying no more animals for so long I don't know how Bri talked me into it. I guess because it was my birthday Saturday and I was feeling giddy and said "let's go get a dog"!!! So we drove out to the country and got a beagle puppy. He is cute but Bri has decided that I was right and dogs are alot of work. He peed in her bedroom floor this morning and she was not a happy camper!!! I tried to tell her but she just insisted that a dog would be such fun and she could take care of it. She was not happy when her Daddy got her up at 6:45 in the morning yesterday to take him out because he had been crying for hours either! Let's hope the little fellow stops crying soon and is housebroke quickly! Oh, his name is "Tugg" McGraw. After all of us calling out about 50,000 names we turned to the last names of country music stars. One of us said Tim McGraw and it just so happened he came on the radio about that time singing "Live like you were dying". Chet said Tug McGraw and Bri loved Tug so we decided on "Tugg" McGraw. He looks like a Tugg.
I had so many new pics that I decided to try something new and did a slideshow. I hope this works. I still couldn't do all the pics I wanted because it would only allow so many but I tried to pic the best ones. There are some at Dollywood, the girls in a little blow up boat with water in it and then in a little blow up pool, one of Bri and the puppy, all the girls on our back deck in the swing, my Mom and my sister and the twins on my sister's deck in a swing, my nieces and nephews are in some of them, and I can't remember what else.
I think that is all I can think of right now. Oh one new thing, the girls are holding their bottles!!! We still snuggle with them before bed and feed them their last bottle but during the day it is such a big help that they can do it themselves. They are kind of scooting around on the floor now to get to toys they want. I sure hope crawling will be soon. Or do I??
I can't get the slideshow to play on my blogger page. I think you can copy and paste it into your browser and it will play.
THANK YOU STACY!!!!!

i'm so dissapointed, i tried to copy and paste, but i couldn't get it to work :(. we have a beagle as well, ours is named "gabby". anyway, i can't wait to see the pics!!! try to go in edit the post, click on the edit html tab and put in the second code from your list of photobucket codes. i am pretty sure that's how i did mine??? hope i helped.
I am so glad you are having a great summer!!! You are incredible... how are you handling a puppy? We had a puppy a year before I got pregnant with the twins. It was harder than a baby, because you can feed the baby and lay in bed with them.
Also, I am SUPER jealous of your girls... sleeping through the night AND holding their bottles??????? NO FAIR!!! Mine do neither. However they do take 2 two hour naps, and are up only once in the middle of the night.
Question... what kind of bottles do you use? I am wondering if the standard bottles we use are too small for them to hold? Maybe my boys need the wide ones like Avent?
I just checked out the pictures. So cute!! I see you got your Aria Twin stroller. How do you like it?
Stacy how old is your beagle? Is she a good pet? Ours is wild and howls if he is not right on top of us all the time. Housebreaking is a nightmare!!
Debra I do like the stroller. It has taken me some time to get used to it, I had the graco down to a science, but now that I can load and unload it pretty fast I am liking it better. I think the girls really like it. My favorite is when they go to sleep I can slowly lay them back and they don't wake up!
Angie,
I am glad you are having a great summer! I think its great you are out an about with your girls. Kudos to you for getting a dog. I have to admit to not being a dog person besides I have my hands full enough as it is! He IS cute :) The girls are growing up so fast, I cannot believe it!
i'm so glad you got the slideshow to work. i hoped i was making it clear enough. sometimes i am not to good with explaining things. our beagle is 2 now. she used to howl alot, so much in fact that we almost had to get rid of her. our town has a "no dog barking policy". literally, dogs cannot bark at all! we came super close to giving her away because of our neighbors calling the town on us, but somehow it was like she just snapped out of it. we did nothing special to stop her from barking. she is an awesome dog and LOVES the kids! i am not a pet person, but my kids adore her and she is growing on me......slowly! :) anyway, i hope you have a great week! Tuggs, by the way, is ADORABLE!!!
