Visiting Colorado

A few weeks ago we had the joy of going to CO for our friends' Robyn & Joe's wedding. We don't have any pictures from the wedding because I used Robyn & Joe's camera instead of mine. It was great fun. Both our families stayed in a gorgeous house that we rented in Breckenridge. The twins were loving life with four grandparents, a great-grandma, an aunt & uncle, and tons of friends to hold them and play with them. Needless to say, the first few days back were pretty rough - when we had to explain that we couldn't hold them every waking moment of the day! :)

(Thanks for the hat Aunt Lisa!)




The Godparents: many people and cultures have different definitions of Godparents. We see Godparents as being people who can add extra guidance and direction as our kids grow into adults. So you all probably already know that we asked T'Errance to be the twin's Godfather a while back. After lots of praying and thinking, we asked Erin if she would be their Godmother. We love Erin & are so excited for to watch her interact with the twins as they grow.







Ava & Noah loved hanging out with all of our friends.

What we've been up to

Here are few snapshots of what the twins have been doing over the last few weeks:

They've been cuddling:


Noah was listening to Appa's heartbeat or putting out the vibe - we'll let you decide which:


Ava discovered her reflection:


They've been eating lots of ceral & veggies... and drinking water from a soju glass:


Ava is learning to sit, stand, and crawl. She is also plotting her escape from her crib:








Noah is learning to sit, stand & is munching away on his teether - but no teeth yet!








We also had our first trip to the park!

How Twins play peek-a-boo

It has been a big couple of days in the Lee household. Ava is practically crawling! Noah said "momma"! This was very exciting but since Nathan recently changed his name to "blah blah" and Noah said that a few days ago, I apparently didn't win the momma/dadda race.

They are also entertaining each other quite well. As you can see in the video below, Ava was just cracking up the other day. She thought Noah was the funniest person she's ever met. And he thought she was pretty hysterical too!

Happy Mother's Day!

I must say, my first Mother's Day has been wonderful. I never thought I would relish this mommy-hood business so much, but I do. I couldn't hope for anything better. We have been truly blessed. And now I'm going to do what all mommies do... force you to look at pictures of my perfect babies! :)

The twins just started their first solids a few weeks ago (rice cereal). Noah was ready:


Ava was not:


They are still very messy:




They are getting better at sitting up and they love hanging out with Forrest:




Hanging out with Mommy:




Mother's Day!














I hope that all the other mothers out there had a fabulous day too!
