Personalities

If this doesn't show you the individual personalities of our Aidy and Patrick, I don't know what does!

Happy Birthday!

Today is Brittany's husband, Dan's Birthday! Here's our special birthday message, just for him!

Silly Aidan

I was playing in the ball pit the other day while Brittany was reading Patrick a story. After they were finished, I came out and showed them what I had been working on. :)



(Excuse Brittany's total giggle break down. I think she worries we'll only remember her as the crazy lady laughing in the back of most of our home movies someday!)

Twins?

Some days it can be hard to tell that we're twins. We have different colored eyes, we have different personalities and now that we're talking, both our languages sound much different! Here's a sampling of just how different Patrick speak and Aidan speak are.

Aidan speak is pretty much just blowing through whatever words you'd like me to say. I'll repeat just about anything you say around me, so watch out!

Patrick speak is very specific. I like to sound out every last syllable!

Happy Tuesday!

My new friend

This is my new friend Annabelle. 

She is SO cute and SO much fun to play with!

See how nice I was to her?

Can I get one just like her for Christmas, Mom and Dad? PLEASE!

Love, Aidan

Fun in the Snow

What is this?

I don't know, Patrick. Do you think we should touch it?

Okay. I'll give it a try.

Wow! It's really cold!

Mine makes a cool little ball. This is fun!

Here, Aidan - check it out!

Oops. Patrick, I think you dropped it.

Oh well. Let's make another one!

We sure had fun in the sun snow today and we hope you did, too!

When Brittany's away...

the Twin Boyz will play! Guess she won't be leaving us to run to the bathroom any time soon! :)

Crazy Hair

Alternately titled:

• Alfalfa
• The unfortunate hair scene in Something About Mary
• Ed Grimley

Happy Thursday!

Love, Aidan

Aidan Talking

Finally, here's some Aidan talking!

Important Milk Lesson

Brittany taught me a very important lesson today and I learned a new word! She says she's very proud of me and my new knowledge. 

Go Twins!

Love, Aidan

Then and Now

About this time last year we thought maybe we should be two deer caught in headlights for Halloween. Click here to see us practicing out look then, and here we are practicing it now!

We sure are getting old!

Love, Aidan and Patrick

Monkey Boy!

Graduates!

Today we graduated from our baby gymnastics class!

We learned SO much this summer at class, like how to do rolls:

Aidan

Patrick

And how to hang on the bar:

Patrick

Today Patrick even climbed up the mat while hanging onto the bar!

We played with balls:

Patrick

Aidan

And just had fun climbing all over everything!

We had a little ceremony at the end of class and all the ladies got all teared up when our teacher got all teary eyed talking about all that we have accomplished this semester. Can you believe when we started this class Aidan and just taken his first steps and Patrick wasn't even walking yet?! Now we're hanging onto bars and doing flips! Pretty impressive stuff if you ask us! We got to climb up to the top of a podium and get a sticker and a ribbon from our great teacher. Here we are looking so big and getting our first ribbon!

Patrick:

Aidan:

Checking out our cool new ribbons and stickers!

Yay us! We can't wait to go back in a few weeks and learn even more!

Love, Aidan and Patrick

Shoes!

I LOVE me some shoes! I've been getting peoples shoes for them for a while now, but I recently discovered that I can put them on too!

Be careful where you leave your shoes - I may find them and wear them all around!

Love, Aidan

Oh no...

Ladies and gentleman - we have a climber.

17 Months!

Holy cow! Today the boyz are 17 months old! Here's the quick look at what they're up to:

(Apparently 17 month olds don't like sitting still and having their picture taken)

(So what was a girl to do? Bribe them of course! Patrick's still not feeling it yet, though...)

You both are:

• Down to one nap a day
• Done with nuks! 
• LOVE books and reading, both with other people and alone
• Really enjoying songs with actions, especially Wheels on the Bus, Tick Tock, and Itsy Bitsy Spider
• Just starting to pretend. You love the pretend to eat the food in your little kitchen downstairs
• VERY attached! If Mom and Dad are around, you only want them, and if they're not there, I'm the substitute, but if someone else comes near you or we look like we are going to leave you are NOT okay with it!
• Fascinated with how I cook. You love for me to show you the fruits and veggies I'm going to cut up and feed you, or salt the water when we're cooking pasta

Patrick

(Really, have you ever met a bigger ham?! He didn't want to pose for pictures together, but on his own he was all about smiling for the camera!)

You are:

• WALKING!! We are all so proud of you, and you LOVE the attention and praise we give you when you take off! 
• Still in love with everything that has buttons, especially if they make noise
• A ham! When we go to play group, you pick out a skinny blonde (just like your mama!) and climb on on their lap and flirt! It's a different mom every week, and you just work the room! Every one loves little blue eyed P!
• In love with talking on the phone. If someone calls during the day, you insist on talking to them. You'll put just about any toy up to your ear and pretend to be chatting away!

Aidan

(Such a little monkey! You were not going to sit still - until I bribed you of course!)

You are:

• Still a big fan of balls. You love to say "ball" and you are way too good at throwing one across the room! You amaze me when we're at baby gym and you throw much farther than all the other kids who are older than you! Some days I think we should call the Twins recruiters already!
• In love with trucks and airplanes, and really anything with wheels. You are definitely all boy!
• Trying SO hard to climb on everything. You aren't quite tall enough to be able to pull yourself up on everything yet, but you are so close!
• A great shoe fetcher! Every day when your Mom and Dad come home, you head towards the door and get me my shoes. You are a great little helper and you are so cute!

Happy 17 Months boyz! I love you so much!!

Brittany

It's a bird! It's a plane!

No! It's Super Aidan!

He's faster than a hungry Patrick eating bananas.
His plastic doughnuts of furry will stop even the most hardened criminal.

Be on the look out, evil doers. You never know when Super Aidan might be lurking around the corner!

How much is that baby in the mirror?
