Our Little Litter

I've been over thinking these blog posts.  I sit down tonight to do some work for my marketing job, but I wasn't feeling motivated to do that.  Instead I thought ok, I'll write a blog post... but I don't really have much to say.  That's a lie!  I have some great things to tell you about. First and foremost, we have crawlers!  The babies turned 8 months old yesterday and today, as if they were watching and waiting on an 8 month countdown, they began to crawl.  Just a couple little crawls, they don't do much before laying on their belly's and crying.  Or in the case of Olivia, she just rolls everywhere.  Rolling is faster than crawling.  She's an innovator. Martha Speaks Wyatt still has only two and a half teeth, while Olivia has about 6 or so.  Wyatt is sleeping a little better at night.  We are up with him anywhere from 2-6 times per night.  It's usually 10pm, 2 or 3am, 4am and either 5 or 6am.  Evan gets up with them in the morning so I can

A lot of my friends are having babies.  I have been writing a million emails to friends who ask me, "what should we register for?"  "What do we need?"  Here you go, some of our favorite things.  Most of these are awesome for twins, but I'm sure they are wonderful for single babies too :) I should also note that in talking to other parents, I find that "splurge items" are different for everyone.  We choose to splurge on our stroller whereas other parents empty their accounts for the crib, organic products or whatever seems most important to them.   Favorites for Newborns 1.   Onesies - The onesies with long sleeves and mittens at the end were essential for us.  Buy a lot of them.   2.   Bibs - Bibs are NOT all the same.  We loved this one because it has a sponge ring around the neckline.  Wyatt was a big spitter, and before we had these he would get a rash around his chin/neck because we couldn't keep the moisture away.  This bib helped a
