"I love you and bye bye"

Geeze, I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. I guess we've been really busy doing alot of nothing and day to day stuff. It's been so nice having Sylvin home. I know the girls run to greet him when they get up from their naps. He's such a good Papi, he helps feed them and change them and bathe them. I'm sure the girls would argue that he plays with them the best. He sings songs to them in the tub with his ukelele or just plain ol goofs around with them on the floor in the living room. He got them the sandbox for Christmas, then we got a little plastic outdoor playhouse for $20 from the neighbor's and just a couple of weeks ago. Sylvin brought home their first slide he found at a garage sale for a steal. So now we can all got outside and the girls are happy for hours playing and running around the yard. We've even filled up the little blow up pool and put the slide in it and they've splashed into the pool going down it. Even Beans gets to come out and we'll throw his ball for him. The girls get in on throwing it for him too. We've had a blast outside lately. Their newest word is "play" which doesn't come out that plainly, but we know what they're saying. They've not put on a whole lotta weight, but I can tell they're getting taller. I measured them recently and they've both grown almost an inch in a month! They've grown outta shoes already since the beginning of summer and now they're growing out of their number 3 diapers. When they bend over, it's like a bad case of plummer butt. Just say no to crack, but baby crack is so cute! They've also gotten better at walking with us by holding their hand in through stores and such. Doesn't mean that they won't throw a fit and throw themselves on the floor in the middle of the isle or wherever the mood strikes them. They've been cutting molars like crazy lately and I don't think I can remember what they look like without their hand permanetly attached to their mouths. Half of the hand is missing of course cause it's buried deep within the teething machine. I've been giving them Tylenol at night and they love the taste of it. They'll sit there and actually pant with their mouth hanging open in anticipation of them getting it. Same thing with their "fluoride" drops. Guam doesn't have fluoridated water here so I have to give it to them after we brush their teeth. Oh, and one more note to add. Bananas were delicious! The girls enjoyed them for breakfast and I made banana bread and banana lumpia. Banana lumpia, a new recipe to share with ya'll when we get back home, it's YUMMY! Well, I'd better get for now. Love to you all and thanks for stopping by to see what we're up to.

Not good at stealthy but great at being a stinker!

This is Sylvin's usual position 10 minutes after he gets home from work around 2pm. Then he'll debate with me wether or not he was sleeping. So I figured I'd make sure he remembers taking a nap today and now I have proof that he snores too. Lucky guy. It's been great having him home. You can only scare or sneak up on the girls so much before they start having psychological disorders.
Can't remember if I really said anything about Christmas around here? Well, let me repeat myself if I haven't.
Besides the fact that we weren't home it was pretty good. Sylvin and I had so much fun watching the girls go from present to present. They still don't have the whole ripping into the wrapping paper down yet, but I'm cofindent they'll get it eventually. Probably by their birthday I'm thinking.
The weather here has been beautiful! Not too much humidity and loads of sunshine. An occasional rainshower here and there, but nothing like it had been all summer. It still gets terribly hot during the day though, but if you can catch a breeze you're doing alright. Sylvin and I spend alot of time outside on the patio watching the girls play. It's a blast watching them. They know "flower", "bird", "plane", "moon" and "banana tree" and will point and say the word over and over again until acknowledged. It's amazing how much they grasp mentally.
Have I mentioned how stinking cute they are?!
Alright, well more videos of the girls to come so check back. It takes a while to get the longer ones uploaded. Love to you all and have a good week, it's Tuesday here already.....I'll be glad when I'm back on "normal" time again.

Sandbox hooplah!

Here's a few pictures from Christmas, then a video below about the sandbox. Pretty good stuff.

So we buy into all the outdoor entertainment things for the kids to enjoy because we think they're going to LOVE them and won't be able to live without them. Well, here's two kids that are changing the rules on us.
You can mute the music at the bottom of the column to the right if you can't hear over the music.
PS.
The video quality isn't as good as my regular camera, but I'm not complaining. When have I been able to post a 2 min video!? Enjoy. These two are hours of hysterical laughter for Sylvin and I. Love to you all.
