Our Playground

This little playground is on our street!! We just "discovered" it the other day. I mean...we knew it was there, but we didn't know there was a baby swing OR that the girls would like to crawl around on the mulch so much. Hopefully it won't get cold too soon so we can enjoy it a little more before the yucky winter comes!!

Leah

I was trying to get a picture of her hand but she was such a ham that I had to post all of these :)

First trip to the ER

Little Leah had her first trip to the ER yesterday!! She was playing in the kitchen during the afternoon, stuck her hand in the recycling bin (she is getting too tall!!!) and pulled out the top of a can that had been opened the night before. OUCH!!! I hope she learned not to do that again (ha ha)...I certainly learned a lot...

Things I learned yesterday:
1. Never leave sharp objects in the recycling bin...even if I think my "little" babies can't get to them!
2. Leah is a STRONG little girl...she was such a big girl and barely cried at all!!!
3. Leah has been eating A LOT the last few weeks! She is up to TWENTY pounds!
4. Kelly, our Nanny, is GREAT under pressure!! She handled the whole situation perfectly...she didn't even freak out about getting covered in blood (I think that would have put me over the edge!!).
5. I still love Frederick Memorial Hospital! Every experience we have had there has been positive. We were getting treated within 10 minutes of arriving at the ER and all the people we came into contact with were great (as has been our experience with all we have been through there).
6. Cesar is such a great Daddy (I knew this already...but it was confirmed even more yesterday). He was so sweet and so concerned for his little girl!! I love love love to see him father these girls :)
7. I have great co-workers who took over for me immediately and without question so that I could go home and take care of my baby!
And most importantly...
8. I REALLY want to put my kids and a bubble and protect them from anything that can cause them harm!! I definitely think it hurt me way more than her to see her covered in blood like that. However, I also learned that I don't freak out at the sight of my own kids blood as I do with anyone else AND I can handle situations like that better than I had assumed. Hopefully I won't have to put that theory to the test anytime soon!!

For Grandma...

Grandma can't see the push video for some reason, so here are some still shots of it!!

Pushing

Cesar took this video of the girls while I was at the grocery today. I LOVE IT :)

Urbana Park

After lunch on Monday (see post below), we went to a park in Urbana. The girls really just love to explore. They crawled all over the place. I love to see them get so excited to find new things!! Leah even got to go on the playground with Daddy!!

Dinner

Monday we went out to dinner with our friends Gabe and Ashley! The girls got to sit in high chairs for the first time and they had a great time! Well...it was fun for about 30 minutes..then they decided it was time for a nap and wanted to get back in the stroller...but until then, it was great!
