Berlinsky Twin Play Date

An old and dear friend, Elizabeth Berlinsky, also has twins. The girls are 6 weeks older than our boys. The Berlinskys live in Charleston too, though, this was our first get together. Pitiful, I know. Elizabeth and I talk weekly and did during our pregnancies. The challenge with getting 4 infants and 2 mommies together with everyone well, in a good mood, around naps, pump breaks and feedings has been crazy! Now that I am pump free...yep, after 11 months, I was finally ready and gave it up!!! (Hence my slackness on the BLOG because I have been going out with my hubby and friends, cooking and just lounging with Ben instead of pumping, facebooking and blogging.) Taylor cautiously checks out Lela (their Baby A like Turner)
Turner and Lela playing together

Meddin and Lela Berlinsky--cutie pies!!! They even shared their sippy cup with Taylor. It was so fun to see the difference between girls and boys. They are not walking like the boys but climbed up and down safely to and from our couches. Thankfully, the boys have not figured out that that is an option!!


Turner and Taylor telling good ole Georgia about their "date"...PLAYDATE that is!!!

Outing with the Cousins!

Carrie and John came into town, so the ladies ventured with the kids to the North Charleston Fire Museum. Impressed, we were! Big firetrucks with lights, a slide and pole to ride down, and free fireman hats for all! BEST of all was the fabulous "Boo"!! Carrie and I shopped with Savannah and the twins at the next door outlets, while she chased John 5 around the museum. Think T and T will need a little age on them to thoroughly enjoy it, although the lights got them both to grin! T and T enjoying their bottle after a 5 minute visit through the museum! Guess all the walking is making them really hungry!!!
Sweet Savannah--7 months

T and T munching on biscuits, while Savannah licks her lips after finishing some green beans.


BUSHED--Taylor has re-discovered his pacifier. We forgot one in the crib and now, he sleeps with one again. Think he must be dreaming that the Falcons won the pre-season game today. And losing to the Lions...least that is good for Georgia's ex quaterback, Matthew Stafford. We love him!!!


Turner with his rump up and his blankees!!!



Turner is walking too....

Taylor is cruising.....

Another weekend at home!

Our neighbors came to see the boys. You should have seen the boys , all big eyed, as the kids played with their toys and tried to entertain them. Then Sterling (the oldest) laughed that if they were all ours, we would have 9 kids. Ben and Liz Plus 9. NEVER!
Lauren and Taylor; Turner with Sterling!

Lunch at Momma Brown's...cooking is not for weekends!!! Plus, babies eat for free. Good thing they agreed for it to be free before seeing Turner stuff green beans, peas, lima's, chicken n rice, mac n cheese and turkey down! Even picky Taylor devoured it!!
SNACKTIME! We love how sweet Taylor is always looking up toward his brother!



Bottletime! I know, it seems that all we do is feed these boys. Mealtime is so entertaining that we find we take lots of video/pictures during their 3 meals and 4 bottles a day!

Turner's latest love is pushing his lion while dragging this old dog leash along beside him.


Taylor is trying to take some steps. ....after he snacks on his thumb!

Here is my latest plan to get Taylor to eat. He is so picky. Turner shovels it in like it's his last meal. Yet Taylor carefully brings it to his mouth, tastes it and either chews it or spits it out while shaking his head "no". Today, I convinced Taylor into eating a grilled Brie cheese and tomato sandwich by putting he and Turner facing each other. As you can see, the sandwich and pears were a hit!

Happy belated birthday, my ladies!!!


Happy birthday to Aunt Betty and Ms. B!!! Hope ya'll had a great day. Since we were sick, mommy and daddy missed going out for their 2nd anniversary!!! Good news though...the vomiting, diarrhea and "pink eye" is all gone!!! Yippee!!!!!

Playing at Boo and Gan's

Daddy went fishing for last weekend, so mommy and the boys spent a few days playing at Boo and Gan's. Mommy needed a change of scenario and the extra hands, so off we went!! Here we were entertaining ourselves with our sippy cups while mommy loaded the car.
"Zoom-zoom".....

Gan and Taylor!

Lunchtime! Poor Boo and Gan. Their neat house was terrorized in a matter of minutes. The worse came after our lunch! Don't you love the eating arrangements!!!



Taylor: "Yummy in my tummy!"

Turner: " Where are the dogs because I am so done with this meal?"

Wanna ride, Taylor?

Girl's Night!

It was my night to host my monthly girl's night. So along came the children....how things have changed! Here are some of Tand T's playmates for the night! Although, Evie and Noelle arrrived after their bedtime. Better luck next time, boys!!! Baby Noelle enjoys the boy's exersaucer!
Evie enjoys the boy's books. Thank goodness Evie wanted to see "the puppy" that we were dog sitting. It was a big shocker to find that she had escaped when Ben took her outside in the unfenced front yard. An hour later, in the pouring rain and after missing my gals, we found her. GGGRRRRR is what I had to say to her! Turner, who is leaning on good ole Georgia, plays with a wooden rice spoon as Aunt Sabrina helps me prepare the food for the night!!!


The boys: " We can help prepare food." BAM-BAM. "Never mind, we are going to play in a band as the girl's night entertainment instead!"
