First Flight!

The babies all ready for their first airplane ride!

They did very well on the flight, they only cried for a few minutes when they got tired and we were both able to get them to fall asleep!  I don't think we annoyed anyone around us, it helps that they are both so darn cute that people can't help but love them!  We  constantly had people telling us how adorable they were and many people would stop and talk to them to (one lady talked to them for like 5 minutes).   So glad we survived our first trip!

Quick Pic!

We snapped this family picture real quick on Sunday, we all were kinda color coordinated so we just had to!  

Diaper Review: Maci Grace

I was asked by babyhalfoff.com to review a new diaper from Maci Grace.   This is the diaper I received:

 It's a one size black pocket diaper with multi-colored snaps!

Here's the close up of the snaps

It came with 2, 4 layer bamboo inserts.

 And here's the fit on my 12 lb little man

 In this picture it looks like its super tight around his belly, don't worry it's not I promise!  He just has the tiniest little waist and then his bellow is big, especially right after he eats!

This diaper is supposed to fit from 6lbs to 30 lbs, however I'm not sure that it would fit at 6 lbs.  I have one of the cross over snaps snapped and the highest rise setting snapped.  We have VERY similar diapers that we use and They are just now starting to get a good solid fit.   I think this is fairly typical of most one size diapers like this.      The first time I used this diaper I put both bamboo inserts in and we had absolutely no leaks!  I typically only use 1 bamboo insert in my other diapers.   The next time, I put it on Adella and tried with just 1 insert.   There was a little bit of wetness around one leg hole when I went to change her, but she had been in it for 3 hours.  I also think the insert had shifted a bit which may have contributed.   Like I said this diaper fits pretty much the same as our other pocket diapers which we love!  The multi-colored snaps are kinda fun and would come in useful for daycare as you would be able to tell them which snaps to snap.          Thanks babyhalfoff and Maci Grace for letting me review your diaper!  

Pool!

Adam and Uncle Daniel took Charlie and Adella for their first swim (I'm not allowed to yet as I had minor surgery a few weeks ago and don't want the would infected).

They were unsure of what to think of it all at first, but they got used to it.  I think Charlie actually kind of liked it after awhile.  The water is still not that warm, so it will be fun to take them more in the next few weeks when it gets really hot!!

The games we play

Charlie and I have a new game.  The rules are, Charlie lies down on the floor on his back. Mom looks away for two seconds and Charlie rolls over to his tummy, grunts and groans because he is unhappy.  Then mom flips him back over and the game starts again.  I don't know who the winner is because Charlie hates being on his tummy, but he's so good at it!

Here is a picture of the first time he did it, he'd been trying all weekend but didn't make it, then Monday afternoon I left the room for a minute, came back to find this!  I was so shocked!

I think he was so stinking proud of himself because he just laid there and held his head up high.   Now when he does it he usually just grunts and groans till you flip him back. Just so he can grunt and groan and do it again.  I took this video the first day he started doing it, he's MUCH faster at it now (but still grunts and groans a lot of the time!).  When he wants to roll, its a matter of a couple of seconds!

I can't put him on his play mat anymore because there isn't room to roll and he gets super super mad.   Here he was so mad because his legs got caught by the giraffe!
