Christmas Preview

Mr. Taft

Our precious big guy can crawl!!! Plus, we couldn't help but share his BIG personality! Look at how messy he gets and how crazy loud he can be when excited and visiting!

Texas our Texas

Many milestones to report. The boys are growing like weeds. Our little men grow out of their clothes from week to week it is just crazy!They roll around like tumble weeds. Taft can crawl backward only??? They both stand..so we bought them walking wings yesterday to practice the balancing part. They chatter to each other and everyone around nonstop! Also, they are full blown celebrities! Everywhere we go people want to ask, touch, see them. I see other white girls with white twins and no one even looks their direction. I must admit in my former life I would love the attention...but in Target in my gym clothes with spit up running down my sport bra and Taft yelling..YELLING..dadada to everyone..the attention isn't always wonderful. Someone n Texas even asked to photograph them for free to use in the advertising. I know my kids are cute..but hello stranger...that is really out there! One preciosu thing..as you can tell from the photo they love to hold hands while eating, and babble to each other the whole time! Loving every minute with the blessed job I have!

Zeker

My name is Zeker, I am the squeker!!! Plus Meme taught Zeke to shake maracas, and he hasn't stopped since!

Post Conference

We apologize we haven't posted anything in quite a while. Tyler was scheduled to go to an engineering conference in San Antonio, TX and since that is our childhood home...we all went! Who could pass up meeting friends and family for the first time, hotel on the riverwalk and reuniting with loved ones? We had a blast...but our thankful to be home. The boys have been so sweet and smiley, and I can tell they are thankful to be back home, so our the parents! We missed having silly things like a changing table, high chairs, or even a place to set them down that was safe and baby friendly. They were fussy on the way back...Tyler claims they miss Texas already, but I think that was really HIS heart talking, not theirs just yet!

We have our first post adoption evaluation in our home this Thursday...excited..nervous..just glad to have it coming soon..means one less more in the future.

Then we found and connected with a therapist for little Zekey. The cutest little place called mealtime connections paired us with our new friend Mandy who is coming to our house this week and next to evaluate and consult how we can get him to eat solid foods. We have him currently no longer terrified of the spoon and here lately he has willing taken a few bites, but no where close to the garbage disposal we call Taft.

Will post pictures ASAP!

AMAZING ZEKE

Our little Zeke one morning woke up and can sit, not tripod, not balance and eventually tip..he went from no control to siting upright and playing for hours! The Doc said he would be far behind Taft since he was only 12 pounds, and called him floppy..well look who sits first and lets show her who is floppy! Plus, the boys went on a double date with us, Laura and Tom and they did GREAT!!! Smiled and waved to the people around, and fell asleep against us...proud parents might once again have a social life!

Amazing Taft

Taft is super talkative...he doesn't talk..he hollers,he has no volume other than LOUD!!! He is our little Mr. Social! Also, his laugh is to die for..everyong fell in love with laugh #1, so encore please...

Halloween preview

The costumes are adorable, the kids thought it was flat out torture. Then we had the brilliant idea with the pumpkins, and seriously they cried so hard they held their breath and it scared me half to death..then Taft's pregnant belly got stuck and we had to wiggle him out!!!Thank you Memaw and Pepaw for our Halloween outfits, socks and bibs..we ahve been wearing them to show how festive we are!Memaw and Pepaw are kind to buy normal gifts, not gifts like Mom and Dad, costumes that we cry at the thought of having to wear again next week!

My wild willies

Absolutely adorable videos of our boys: *Taft almost crawling!!! *Boys talking twin-like up a storm. *Pumpkin Patch madness. *Taft eating first real solid finger food..and hating it!

First ever pumpkin patch, corn maze, fall festival...

We went to Buckelew farms for a family fall day. The kids loved the hay(no one informed me that a little afro becomes Velcro to hay), scarecrows, the tractor rides, corn mazes, etc. If you can't tell form the photos the actual search for pumpkins out in the field they though was torture. We had a blast!

Videos

A few cuties to share....a couple of them just being themselves and then one with Taft showing you how he feeds himself "when the spoon in near he pulls my hand to his mouth", and then the difference in the boys eating habits!

The guys!

The boys first day of church!!!

Bath time!!!

Our little men love bath time!!!

Love is not a strong enough word
