Sunday, the 20th<\/h2>\n

\"Alex<\/a>

Alex continues in his quest for the perfect solid food.<\/p><\/div>Each day brings new adventures for Dominic and Alexander. On Sunday morning, the Twin-Daddy caught Alex using his crib rails to help him stand and reaching for his brother’s crib. We had been procrastinating lowering the mattress, but after that incident Papa lowered it before his next nap. The boys have been learning other new tricks as well. Alex is finally starting to get the hang of eating, and both have begun intentionally shaking their rattles – especially Dom. They have started using their teeth on their toys too – scraping them across things to make noise, so you have to be extra careful about what they put in their mouths!<\/p>\n

\"Alex<\/a>

Alex gives Papa a snuggle and Dom laughs at his daddy.<\/p><\/div><\/center><\/p>\n

They are each working on their own methods of moving around. Alex uses his sitting skills to slowly shift closer to items: sit, sprawl, sit, sprawl. Dom gets on his hands and feet and then uses his head as an extra limb. Every once in awhile one or the other will make it up on their hands and feet and move a hand forward (they’re good at moving their feet already). We expect them to take off any time now.<\/p>\n

\"Alex:<\/a>

Alex: That's our Papa! He's lots of fun!<\/p><\/div>

\"Dom<\/a>

Dom & Alex: We love our Papa!<\/p><\/div>We had planned to head to the zoo, but instead Papa and the Twin-Daddy worked on various projects around the house. They put in dolly-like shelves in the two large, corner kitchen cabinets which definitely helps with kitchen storage space. While here Papa also put a curtain rod in the nursery which lets the boys now take naps in a dark room and covered part of the back porch so we have an area that will stay dry even while it’s raining. He used materials that still let plenty of sun through. He got our minivan set up to open our garage door, and as always, Papa fixed a number of other things. Thanks, Papa!<\/p>\n

\"Alex:<\/a>

Alex: Can I play with your iPhone again?<\/p><\/div>

For their dinner, we mixed sweet potatoes with the carrots, so they wouldn’t be so runny. Both Alex and Dom ate well, and it looked a lot less like a carrot massacre at the end of the meal. Our little guys finally got to go out and enjoy their swings again too since the sun had come out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
