Big Day

Today was a big day in the Ide Household.  Maren rolled from her tummy to her back for the first time!  She is still working on figuring this out for a second time.  We also introduced cereal for the first time.  I don’t know that any of the cereal actually made it into their mouths, but they seemed to enjoy the process.  Owen is a good little chewer, but is still working on the whole swallowing part of the process. Maren was a lot more interested in touching the cereal than tasting it.


In other adorable news -
  • Owen found his feet, and they are the coolest feet ever!  He is now working on getting both feet into his mouth.  The little man has goals!
  • Maren has started to twirl her own hair when she is falling asleep. Who needs a blanket when you have that much hair!  

Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks.

The coolest chick ever!

Owen and his feet!

Maren taking her last ride in the infant swing.  We replaced it with a shelf and mat for the kiddos.  

Cooper is pretty sure the new play mat belongs to him. (Check out the basket of laundry in the back - that is just a couple days with twins!)

Owen and Maren have also started to use a jumper.  Owen thinks the seat is delicious. 

Maren uses her hair as a security blanket, but Owen needs a few other things. . . He doesn't get any comfort items in his crib at night, so he goes all out when he naps during the day. 

A couple of sweet twin pics


And, finally, Cooper photobombed, and Maren is not impressed.

Five Months Old!

This weekend, it was Josh's birthday, and the twins turned five months old!

It's getting more difficult to keep them both in the chair!

Almost Five Months Old

Owen and Maren are almost five months old, and they are so much fun.  Josh and I have been trying to take them out more, which can be quite a production.  This weekend, we all went to the grocery store together.  Two babies, two carts, and we all survived!  We also went to the library, where Owen and Maren checked out books for the first time.  Other than some loud gas from our sweet little girl, they were very quiet little library patrons.  

Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks. 

Sometimes when you're helping mom with laundry, she puts a really embarrassing hat on you.

And, sometimes when you're helping dad with laundry, you end up in the hamper.

Maren was very happy to show off some adorable hand-me-downs from our friend, Annalee. 

It's not always fun and games on the activity mat. . . 

Owen had to nap after we took a walk.  It's hard work sleeping in a stroller!
