Check in

I'm still here albeit my lack of posting. We are still going strong on our spousal weight loss challenge. Next week is week 10 and also our 5th weigh in. I've lost 7.8 lbs as of today, very close to my pound a week goal, but I was sick for two of those weeks so I've got some catching up to do. I'm finally back to my weight when I found out twins were on the way, so I'm excited about that milestone. 9 months on, 15 months off... Isn't that how it goes? Baby steps.

Life is still insane on a daily basis and I'm assuming will stay that way for at least another 17 years, so I really should just stop saying it. The boys are at my most favorite stage thus far. In January they started 'for real' walking, and haven't slowed down since. I thought them walking would be very scary, but their new found independence is awesome. They love to explore and be themselves. They play hide and go seek with each other, thus beginning the major perk of the twin game-a constant playmate.

Yesterday was our 15 month appointment, and the boys are 22 lbs and I think 29 inches. Graham's head is a solid inch bigger than Hayes, thus officially making him Jordan's clone. They can say 'light' 'dada' and sometimes 'dog'. They love animals, with goats being the long shot winner during our recent trip to the zoo. Graham is my bashful momma's boy who loves to cuddle and show we whatever he can find. Hayes is much like the goats he loves at the zoo because the child climbs on anything he can, and he has amazing balance while doing it. They are finally using sippy cups, and still eat like pigs, with sweet potatoes being their favorite food by far.

I've got a few pictures on this iPad I'm going to try and share more for posterity really. Enjoy.
