First trip to the zoo!

We had sooo much fun today at the zoo! The girls were amazed at all the animals...especially the elephants, monkeys and giraffes! Here are some pictures from the day.

Update

The girls did GREAT in their toddler beds!! I told them firmly NOT to get out and they didn't!! Yipee!! Kennedy kept repeating " No climbing out of bed" "no climbing out of bed" (She wasn't the one I was worried about!) They did talk for a looooong time last night, but that really wasn't anything new. I finally had to go in and tell them to go night night. (about an hour after bedtime!)
This morning I really thought they may try to climb out...I went ahead and got them up just a little bit earlier than usual (7:15) and praised them for staying in. Hopefully tonight will go just as well!

The chickens have flown the coop!

oh my! The girls have learned how to crawl out of their cribs. Yesterday morning I hear something funny on the monitor....the door knob rattling. I shot up the stairs as fast as I could, but not soon enough. I hear a thud and a scream/cry! I quickly realized that baby #1 was out and fine, (thus the door knob rattling) and baby #2 wasn't quite so agile and FELL out of her bed. (the thud and cry) I opened the door and discovered Kaitlyn, running around so happy to be free! Kennedy was wailing. She had a big ol bump on her head. Poor thing. She was just trying to copy Kaitlyn. See, Kaitlyn is our monkey....she can climb on anything and she is very good at it. No surprise she climbed out with no prob. Kennedy is our cautious child and would have NEVER tried this if Kaitlyn hadn't shown her.
We didn't convert their cribs to toddler beds last night..I wanted to see if it would happen again or if was just a fluke. I talked to them about not climbing out etc and put them down for the night.
This morning...I hear that familiar door knob rattle and I knew that they were out. I ran up the stairs and only Kaitlyn was out. Kennedy wasn't about to get out again and fall. (smart cookie!)

So, today Tony and I are converting their cribs to toddler beds. We will see how it goes. I'm a little nervous about all of this, but we will see.
I'll keep you posted.

Birthday party

Kennedy and Kaitlyn's b-day is on Mon the 7th, but we had their birthday party today (Sat). We did mostly a family thing. It was a lot of fun!!
We got the girls a kitchen. I can't believe my babies will be 2 in just a couple of days!

July 4th!

Tony's parents came down for the girl's birthday party and on the 4th we went to the Aquarium Downtown. We had a great time! The girls loved all the fish and sea creatures. (and tigers!) They also rode on a merry go round for the first time and the ferris wheel!

Gymboree

We took the girls to Gymboree yesterday! They couldn't have been more happy!!

Emma and the girls!

We are having such a great summer with Emma! The girls LOVE her! She is a great "big sis".
