Close ups of our teeth

So De was over tonight with her super-duper camera.

Both babies were happy to show the goods:

(Oh, by the way, Paige's SECOND tooth popped through today!)
























Aren't they pretty??




We Are Family....

Just posting a quick picture!




Paige is in the red sweater, Leah in the white.

We've got teeth!! And one of us is mobile!!

Well, in Leah's case, that's old news. She got her first tooth about 6 weeks ago, and her second appeared a couple of days later.

But Paige was a little behind in the teeth cutting - her first appeared on Saturday.

Gone are my gummy babies :(

Here's Leah, showing off her pearly whites:













And Paige, not showing her barely poking through tooth (but cute none-the-less.)















And finally, Paul & Paige being silly:









And our last little bit of news is - Paige is on the move. As much as I hoped that they would hold off until at least Christmas is behind us, I suppose I really don't have much say. She's not quite crawling yet, but she is slithering and able to move around quite freely. I suppose I'll have to pull out the playpen again - arg! Ah well, it was inevitable, I guess. Leah doesn't seem to be at all even CLOSE to trying to move (I think she only rolled once in her 8+ months) but she may surprise us...we'll wait and see.

A visit with Santa

Such a busy time of year - between Christmas parties and shopping and all, time is just slipping by. I can't believe Christmas is only a couple of weeks away!

Today we went to Bell's Children's Christmas Party. Little Ray's Reptiles, face painting, clowns, and .... SANTA! Oh bliss.

Peyton's been known for her attempts to convince others (her grandfather) to go tell Santa what she wants on her behalf - she's been a little too afraid to do it herself.
But today - she did it! Climbed up on his lap, stated she wanted the Little People Schoolhouse, she got a gift (Dora doll) and a picture taken, and it's all good.
The twins did very well - rather, all three did very well, considering we were missing the PM nap all around. Leah got a bit screechy towards the end, but if she didn't, I would wonder if something was wrong. Ha.

Paul & I have been out twice in the last couple of weeks for work parties - it's been a treat. Erin & Peter watched the kids last Friday night, and Rich & De watched them last night. No one missed us either night, apparently! (although I don't know how much Erin & Peter enjoyed the "poop up to her neck" gift Paige gave them.)
Rich & De have offered to overnight one of these days...we'll maybe take them up on it in January when the Christmas hecticness is out of the way. Having said that, I phoned De AFTER 10:00 AM this morning and WOKE HER! I can't remember how to sleep in, I think.

So that's the news for now - not too much to report.

And here are the kids....
