barricade everything!

The boys are continuing their pursuit to the television. It is really hard to keep them away. Joy made a barricade but that was no match. The boys are quick to figure out how to get through.

We have a fireplace and recently they learned how to open the glass doors. Joy put packing tape on the door this week and that did the trick.

The china cabinet, which is another favorite of theirs is been blocked with a playpen and a chair.

The safest place in the house is the hall way to the bedrooms and bathroom. We have been rolling a ball down the hall and Joy put up some toys.

Sleeping has been way better. Although, each night it seem to be getting later. They have been going to bed between 8 and 9 last week. Then 11 this week. Last night they went to bed around 1am during a car ride.

We have had a couple dinners as a family now. This is really great. Last week, we had spaghetti. Joy put the spaghetti in the food processor. Last night we had veggies and rice.

To the TV!

We recently got a Blu-Ray player has YouTube on it. So now when the boys are acting up, we can pop on the Gummy Bears song, which is their favorite. Whenever it's on, they get glued to the TV (we used to play it on on phone) and forget about whatever was bothering them. They also discovered that they love Elmo but the downside is that now they are constantly trying to get to the TV. It has been been an exercising experience of constantly trying to get them away from TV.

Jasper has gotten really good at moving around standing up and onto things like the coffee table, couch, and chairs. During the week, Joy was putting laundry away and put a baby gate up in the hallway. She came out in the hallway after hearing him whimper. He had went from standing up with the gate to being against the wall and couldn't get down. Since then, both of them have gotten really well at sitting themselves down.

Yesterday, the boys had teething biscuits for the first time. My mom had given them as valentines. They weren't really sure about them at first but they loved them!

Speaking of teeth, we believe their top teeth are on the verge of popping out.

Joy edited the videos we took of the boys and made a really neat movie. She added songs to go along along with. It turned out really sweet! It is really amazing to see how much they've been grown in such a short period of time (8 months). She made a really nice slide show of tons of pictures. Joy made neat jewel case covers and is giving them the DVDs as valentines.

Sleeping has gotten a little better. They are now going to sleep around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Now, we're gonna try to push it a little later.

Monday, Joy and I are planning on going on our first date since July. We're going to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part 1. Grandma W planing on holding the fort with the boys.
