We've Moved!

Lots of changes at Boston Twins - including moving out of Boston! That's right, we've left the life of the big city, skipped right over the suburbs, and landed in the country of Central Mass!

Last days on the old back deck...








Colin thinking, "I need more space..."








Ava becoming impatient... when will we move???




Daydreaming of the new house...


Ava helping us pack!


Keeping a close eye on that "Toys and Blankets" box...





The other big change is that Mommy is now a SAHM (that would be "Stay At Home Mom"), leaving her job to stay home with the babies and help them learn and grow over the next few years!

We're very excited but at the same time we'll all miss Brianna. We look forward to her visits and convincing her to come out to give the SAHM a break every once in a while!





We made it!


Wooohoooo! We have lots more room now. And a BIG YARD to play in!!!


We love it here, we are already sleeping and napping better and we love all the carpet we get to play on. We have less forehead bruises without the hardwood!



Mommy and Daddy are finding it much more relaxing, too.

More to come now that we're settled!

Random Pics

Sorry Sorry Sorry. We are such lazy posters. Well, we're not really lazy -- we are in the middle of selling our condo and buying a house, so we're not exactly slackers!

Here are a few random pics of the twins...enjoy!

At the Playground

It is a bit chilly out this weekend in Boston, but last weekend was gorgeous! We took advantage and went over to the playground...





We love the swing!

Colin Getting Around

Colin has an unorthodox way of getting around the house... but it works.



He loves standing, too... often for a couple minutes at a time. Steps are near!

15 Months!

Hello, Elmo...

We are a bit late with this post, let's just say we've got a ton going on. More news soon...

So let's get to the important stuff! Our stats! This was the first time we got to stand on the big boy/big girl scale! No more laying down sans diapers on that baby scale, we're toddlers now!



Little Miss Ava still hasn't broken the 20lb barrier (she's weighing in at 19lbs 9oz), but she did gain 1.75lbs in 3 months and now is registering in the 7th percentile for weight - up from the 5th 3mos ago! She's amazingly long, charting at 31" which is 66th percentile! Talk about growth spurt - she was only 28 1/2 inches last time.



She's finally off formula, and so we begin the transition off bottles completely. This week we'll be going down to only morning and bedtime bottles, putting milk in sippy cups during the day. Our goal is a bottle-free household by 18 months.



Mr. Colin only gained 3/4 pound in 3 months, but this is not surprising. Kids tend to level off after a year - none of this exponential growth we see during their first year.



He weighs in at 21lbs 12oz which is 13th percentile, down a bit from the 23rd last time, but that's okay since he transitioned off formula since then. Colin is 31.25" tall which ranks him at 54%. His noggin has also stopped growing exponentially which puts all previous concerns to rest.



See you soon!
