15 Months Old!

Brody and Brynn turned 15 months old yesterday! They have both been fussy over the past few weeks and I blame it mostly on teething. Brynn just got her first molar last Wednesday, so that makes her grand total of 9 teeth! Poor Brody still only has 6teeth:( I'm expecting him to cut a whole mouth full at once. At 15 months, B and B are really enjoying reading books, dancing, and climbing. We like to have dance parties at our house and watch B and B dance to different types of music. Brody really gets into it and has quite the "moves". Brody and Brynn are both climbing on everything, including us! They would love to climb up onto the couch, but haven't quite figured that out. I don't know how many times we have caught Brynn just sitting on top of the kitchen table. She is usually climbing to get something she wants. She has become quite the "cookie monster" lately and just helps herself to any cookies she can get her hands on:)B and B are also starting to say more and more words too, especially Brody. We are really having to start watching what we say around them because Brynn called Truman an "idiot" the other night. Hopefully, we start hearing more nice words:)

Getting Back To Normal...Somewhat


Things are starting to feel somewhat "normal" around here again from the holidays. We are starting to get back into our normal work week routines and daily routines. Grandma Farnan came down last week for the first time to babysit since last year. However, the house we are living in went on the market again yesterday, so we may be moving again soon. We have no clue as to where we will go. This is very stressful for us trying to keep a clean house constantly and to be ready to leave for a showing on little notice. B and B are developing quite the individual personalities! Brynn continues to "rule the roost", but Brody is starting to "hold his own". Brynn tried to take his bottle the other night and he told her "no no". We got quite the kick out of that! She is a very determined and strong-willed little girl! Her favorite thing these days is playing in the Lazy Susan and the pantry. Brody has discovered that he can climb and climb good. He likes to climb up on the kitchen chairs, the front of the stove, on top of the coffee table, and on the couch. He took quite the tumble yesterday off the couch. I saw it getting ready to happen, but didn't get there fast enough. The poor kid seems to always land on his face:( Today, we went out to eat at Jose Pepper's after church and B and B got balloons. They had the most fun with those balloons until Brynn popped one. Finally, the other balloon had to go bye-bye because Mommy and Daddy couldn't take the drama anymore. Oh, the joys of twins:)

McDonald's Playground




Today, we took B and B to McDonald's to play in the playground. They had a lot of fun running around and taking in all the action! Of all the things to do there, they wanted to play with the basketballs the most. Hopefully, I have a couple of "ballers" on my hands....and I couldn't be happier:)

Happy New Year 2010!








We hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year's! We celebrated New Year's at home this year. We have quite a few resolutions that are going to be difficult to achieve, but we are up for the challenge! Brody and Brynn have been quite the handful these last few days at home! They are constantly in to everything! Brody pulled our camera off the dining room table the other day and broke the lens. That was quite an expensive lesson to learn that we need to put stuff up better that we don't want them to have. We are running out of high places to put things that their little fingers can't reach. We have taken B and B outside several times to play in the snow. They just love the snow and being outside, but Brody gets upset and cries when it is time to come back in. We are going to have to get a swing set for this summer because I'm guessing we will be spending most of our time outside. Brody fell into the wood on our couch the other day and has a black eye right now:( It seems he is always bumping his head. Brynn also has a bruise on the side of her head from a fall. She runs most of the time now, but isn't quite as coordinated as she wants to be:( We are hoping for some warmer weather soon, so we can get out of the house more. Wishing everyone health, wealth, and happiness in 2010!
