Guess what this boy did today?
I went potty on the potty chair all by myself!!!!!!
Britty was getting Patrick dressed after our tubby, so I sat myself down on the potty chair in the bathroom and did what I needed to do. When Britty came to get me to get dressed she got quite the surprise! I even got to call Momma and Nana on the phone to tell them what a big boy I am! I'm growing up so fast!!
Love, Aidan

Gold Medalists
Today we graduated from the next level of baby gymnastics and were given a gold medal for all our hard work! Before we get to the medal ceremony, here's some shots of us in action!
Patrick loves jumping on the Air Track! (In technical terms, it's an inflatable bouncy thing)
Aidan loves swinging on the rings
Aidan doing a forward roll with our teacher
And the most impressive? Check out Patrick's flip on the bar!
Pretty amazing, right?! In all fairness, Aidan can do it, too. Brittany was just too slow with the camera when he did it. We learned a lot this semester and we can't wait to go back and do more!
And now for the gold medal ceremony! We got to walk up the stairs and receive our medal one at a time. They were even playing the olympic ceremony music in the background! Up first was Aidan!
(those balloons looked so fun!)
Yay Aidan!
Then it was Patrick's turn!
(he didn't want to stand up...)
Hurray Patrick!
And now, your gold medal finalists, the McTwin Boyz!
And don't they look thrilled about it!

Baking babes
We were having kind of a grumpy morning, so we decided to make cookies together!
We were great stirrers!
We were great at dumping in the ingredients, too, but Brittany didn't get any pictures of that. She must have had her hands full doing something else.
We made a little bit of a mess, but like the sweet boyz we are, we helped clean it up!
Washing the table time!
Hope your Friday includes something sweet like ours did!
Love, Patrick and Aidan
A toddler first
There comes a time in every man's life when he has to pack up his most precious belongings and move out of his parents house....
and into a FORT! We made our first fort this week and we are loving it!
We think it is so fun to crawl out underneath the blankets!
Just be careful you don't bonk your head!
If you need us, we'll be in the fort!

A day in the life
As we're nearing two, we thought you might like to see what our days with Brittany are like!
We start our mornings with a yummy breakfast, usually including toast and bananas
Two mornings a week we get to head out and go to school or baby gymnastics. We love going to our classes!
When we get home from class, it's lunch time. This day we had yellow pea, carrot and ham soup. Yum!
After lunch, we head to our play room for a few minutes while Brittany gets the kitchen cleaned up
Then it's upstairs for stories!
and nap time!
When we wake up we are ready to play, but first we grab a quick snack.
Then it's off to play!
Then we have clean up time
We love our fun and busy days!

Sometimes not every one helps clean up...
Then Patrick says goodbye to all his toys and we head into the kitchen to get the table set and get ready for dinner!
