Mobile babies

It was bound to happen. We have some mobile babies. They're not crawling - yet. But they are rolling at will now. Both Hannah and Scott are twisting around in their cribs spinning 360 degrees on their sides around the crib. They use their feet to propell them into a new position. Scott has been doing that for a month or two... but last night Hannah figured it out too.



We set them down for a nap this morning - and when I turned on the monitor, Hannah was 180 degrees from the position I layed her down in... and she had rolled onto her belly.

Oh... and Hannah has her helmet now. I'll have to post a picture of it soon. Here's a generic picture of what they look like...

Pauline has added pretty flower stickers to Hannah's helmet so hers is very beautiful now. ;-)

How's life

There's not much going on in the exciting lives of the Super Mueller Wonder Twins. Hannah is going to get her skull cap tomorrow morning. Scottie still only has 1 tooth.

Hannah (thankfully) is still toothless. Scott still enjoys putting other peoples' fingers into his mouth... but the other people enjoy it a lot less now that he has a tooth.

Pauline and I are doing fine... nothing big to report there either.

After the last year or so... it's kind of nice to have a quite stretch. ;-)

First tooth

Scott is racking up the accomplishments this week! Aunt Amy swore she felt a tooth coming through last night. Today we were able to see it start to poke out of his gums.

It's official... Scott is cutting his first tooth. He's been really unhappy the last few days - especially around dinner time. Now we know why.

Hannah's been very fussy today... so we figure her first tooth can't be more than a week or so away.

So that's what those are for!

The twins have reached another milestone - they've discovered their feet. About a week ago Hannah started playing with her toes - now she's constantly holding one or both feet.

Scott has pulled ahead in the "foot race". He was the first to put his foot in his mouth last night. (Being my son, I'm sure it won't be the last time he does that - figuratively or literally)

He's no son of mine!

I had a shocking, disturbing encounter with my son this weekend. I was watching the twins as they napped - and I happened to be nibbling on some Cheetos. Scott woke up, so I went over to play with him for a little bit and he grabbed my hand (like he usually does) and put my finger in his mouth.

I had forgotten about the cheetos... until I saw the look on his face. It was as if I has just given him the worst tasting substance known to man. He ripped my finger out of his mouth and gave that sad little frowny face. I picked him up and rocked him until he was happy again.

Imagine that - my son... he doesn't like Cheetos!?! I don't know where he gets it from...

What's in a name?

The twins may only be 6 months old... but they already have a lot of nicknames. Here is the first installment for your enjoyment:

Hannah...
Hannah Banana
Bubbles (she loves blowing them - even when there's no spit)
Fuzzy Bubbles (long story)
Cutie
Elf / Santa's little helper (Just look at those cute ears!)

Scott...
Daddy's little linebacker (This kid is built! I have no idea where he gets it from... certainly not me!)
Little Man
New Scott / Little Scott (we already have a few in the families)
Giggles (he was the first one to start laughing)
Wiggles (I need to get this one on video. He loves to move around - sometimes 360 degrees - in his crib. It's hillarious.)

Changes...

We've had more changes than we can handle over the last year and a half! ;-) We moved to a new house... bought and sold a home... we got pregnant - with twins (well, Pauline got pregnant... but I helped)... We've changed jobs... put the kids in and pulled them out of daycare. Whew. We're ready for a calm 18 months here.

Pauline is now officially a stay-at-home mom. She's loving the time with the kids and plotting her next move. She's both looking for a new job and considering an in-home daycare.

I'm plugging away at my job. I run the voice-over department at Unity Works Media.

The twins are doing great! Scottie is laughing now. Hannah is starting to reach out when she wants to get picked up. We're starting cereals - what a joy! ;-) We're going to shoot some videos next weekend and post them so you'll have something a little more current then September to look at.

Santa Saga... Part II

* Whew * We've recovered the original Santa photos!

(click on image to enlarge)

Now we have to find a way to explain to the kids why they are sitting on two different Santas' laps for their first Christmas. Oh well... maybe they won't be very observant, right? I mean, my parents switched a cat on me and my sisters and we never noticed.

Play and Cuddle Time

Here's a cute video of the twins playing and cuddling with their Mueller Aunts...

Video is coming

Prepare for a video explosion! I finally have my ducks in a row and I'm getting lots of video ready to post. This stuff goes all the way back to August and includes some stuff in September and I think October of this year.

Santa time and other Christmas video will come soon - hopefully by next weekend. Enjoy!
