So sleepy!
We're going to update on the Pittsburgh trip and the kids' milestones.
As soon as we can get them back into a routine that doesn't involve us staying up until the wee hours of the night. And the kids deciding that naptimes are no longer necessary. And the kids feeling like they need attention from at least half a dozen people at a time, all.the.time. Which isn't going to stop anytime soon because we're about to leave on our family camping trip, which will mean more spoiling by adoring aunts, uncles, and grandparents.
*sigh* Our nice little routine has been temporarily suspended. Which is totally worth it to spend time with friends and family, but still...
After fighting her morning nap until nearly the afternoon, Elanor finally caved in. No pacifier. No swaddling. No music.

Yep, it's one of those pesky bees again.
This is what happens when A Little Someone decides to rock-around-the-clock the night before...

rasslin'
I heard an angry cry from Elanor and rushed into the living room to find this.
It's WWF baby style! Ian the Enforcer is hulking up with his no holds barred approach. Will Elanor the Baby Faced Diva pull a two-and-a-half count or is she busted open? Is this flat back bump the end of her wrestling career, or will she come back with a flair flip? Stay tuned next time...

New skill
Elanor now knows how to unfasten her diaper.
Pretty cute trick.
Except when I went to refasten it, I found she had deposited a present in there.
A few more moments and the Pretty Cute Trick would have become a Massive Diaper Disaster.

Ian & Elanor Celebrate
Ian: Why do they have us dressed up in our adorably coordinating duds?
Elanor: I think it's for our third month anniversary.
Ian: I'll toast to that [with non-alcoholic milk]!
Elanor: And I'll second the motion!!
Later on...
Elanor: Woohoo!!
Elanor: Yeah, baby!!
Ian: Are you sure there wasn't anything in that "milk" they gave you?
Ian: Put that arm down. This is embarassing both of us.

Mirror, mirror on the couch
Joanna: The babies are at a really fun stage. They're smiling, and cooing like they're trying to have talk-time with us. They've just discovered themselves in the mirror, too. It's hilarious--Elanor tries to talk with herself, and after awhile, she starts to whine to herself in the mirror, like she's telling that girl all her worries. Many times, she'll reach out to touch the girl in the mirror, knock it over, and start to cry like she lost her best friend.
Actually, this afternoon the two of them seemed to be working on their first fight. I gave Elanor the mirror during the morning play time, and gave it to Ian for the afternoon play time. Elanor whined most of the way through the play time, until I arranged the mirror so they both could see it. Then I wrapped her up for nap time, letting Ian have the mirror to himself. As soon as I picked him up, he screamed his mad scream, one that he reserves for special occasions. They both were fussy until finally I tied the mirror to the swing so they both could look at it. They stared into it quietly until they finally drifted off.
Tim: We took the twins to their doctor a couple days ago for their first round of shots. They were all jolly and gay until the time came for the nasty needles. They were crabby and sleepy during the afternoon but by evening they were back to being themselves. They both have become a lot more responsive in the past week. Ian will smile, laugh and coo back us when we talk to him. Elanor isn't quite as loquacious as him but she smiles and crinkles up her nose, which is really cute.
