Swinging!

After church yesterday, we headed up to Lancaster to hang out with Grandpa Johnson, Uncle Trevor, and Aunt Katie for a little while. While we were waiting for them at the park, we tried out the swing! Kyle and Emily didn't really seem to care much about the swing; they just wanted to eat it. We took some pictures and that was about the extent of them being in the swing because they both had their mouths all over it!

We had fun with Grandpa, Uncle Trevor, and Aunt Katie. Emily and Kyle pretty much just wanted to be held by Mommy and Daddy, but enjoyed playing and interacting with everyone. We played in the park for a while, went for a walk, had Ritas, and ate dinner! It was a good afternoon - Kyle and Emily enjoyed the not taking naps part! They were two sleepy babies by the time we headed home!

Church Nursery

Over the past six weeks or so, the babies and I have been spending more and more time in the church nursery during the service. Kyle and Emily don't like to just sit and be held very often any more and they like to use their voices! This is all fine and dandy.... but it doesn't go well with having the babies in church. Our doctors recommended not putting the babies in the nursery at church until they were six months old.... and I really haven't been ready for it either. But because they were getting harder and harder to keep in the service at church, Kyle, Emily, and I have been hanging out together in the nursery during the service. It's been good for me to get to see the way things are done and get to know some of the people working in the nursery.
We were going to leave them in there last week, but there was no church due to Hurricane Irene, so we planned on it this week.
We took Emily and Kyle into the service with us to start. Church starts at 10:30am and they needed to eat about 11:00am. I'm not really a fan of letting other people feed them, and they really don't like to eat for other people most of the time. So, we planned on keeping them with us in the service until they ate their bottles. Brent and I both fed a baby during the singing and such. Once they were done and started to want to play, I took them into the nursery. I hung out for a little bit, as Emily wasn't too happy a first. Once the babies were content and playing (Kyle on the floor and Emily sitting with one of the workers), I went back to the service! I really didn't pay too much attention during the rest of the service as I was worried about Emily and Kyle. When we picked them up after the service, we were told they did fine! Yay babies! Emily was still being held when we got back, which kind of bothered me (because we all know how much Brent and I are against Kyle and Emily being held a lot), but they were both happy and content without us for a little while!

The Case of the Missing Pacifier

When we can't find Kyle and Emily's pacifiers when they are in bed, the first place we look is the floor. If not on the floor we look in the other one's sleep sack and that's normally where we find it.

Only a couple more days (five) and the pacifiers will start to go bye-bye!

Kyle Got His Helmet

Kyle got his helmet today! He doesn't seem to mind it too much so far, but we'll see how he does has he starts to wear it more. Tomorrow he is supposed to wear it for an hour at a time when he's awake, then two hours the next day, then four hours the next day and during nap times, then for eight hours the next day and during nap time, and then for twenty three hours a day.

The only issues he has had for day (he really only have it on for a couple days today) is that he seems to have a hard time rolling over in it. I was told that he would get used to it soon enough and roll over just fine with it.


We also had physical therapy today for Kyle. His therapist is very impressed with how well he is doing! She has seen great improvements and thinks after a couple more weeks that Kyle will be able to go to therapy every other week instead of every week as long as we continue to work with him so well at home!
