Time Flies

Where does the time go? Violet and Lily are 10 1/2 months old! Updating my little blog has been on the back of my mind for quite a while, but every day is so full. When I do have down time, the last thing I want to do is write! Some find peace or relaxation in writing, but not me! Regardless, here I am. Let's do this!

Violet:
Sits up
Squeals in delight
Purrs
Says "Mama"
Has beautiful, fine, sandy blonde hair
Is very ticklish
Has a squeaky, high-pitched laugh
Is a monkey (loves bananas)
Can pick up and eat small things like puffs
Has one tooth
Baby hyperventilates when she's upset
Waves if she feels like it
Still loves the swing
Hates being on her tummy
Loves standing (with help)
Content to sit on your lap and chill
Started sucking her thumb at 8 months (nerd!)
Sucks only her left thumb with her palm up
Loves reading books
Sleeps like a rock (on her tummy)

Lily:
Sits up
Crawls all over the place
Gurgles and sings
Says "Mama", "Baba", and "Dada"
Likes to whisper
Has crazy long, thick brown hair
Laughs and giggles at everything
Eats everything!
Especially loves spaghetti sauce
Slaps the table when she wants more
Can pick up and eat small things like puffs
Smiles and squints her eyes at the camera
Has two teeth
Waves at everyone (even people on the news)
Is on the go (wild thing!)
Won't sit in your lap longer than about 30 seconds
Pulls herself up to standing and has started to inch around too
Loves bath time with Daddy (splashes, kicks, plays with toys)
Pulls the DVDs off the shelf
Loves reading books

 

I'm lucky I have such amazing, beautiful twin girls! I can't wait to see what is coming next!



Chocolate Balls

I know I haven't posted anything in for-e-ver (working full-time and twin girls keep me pretty busy). If you are reading this you really want to hear about my girls! Sorry. I'll update soon! This one's about chocolate.

 

I have a major sweet tooth after meals. I feel like I NEED dessert. I found these amazing chocolate balls at Costco that are perfectly delicious. They're dark chocolate with acai and blueberry or pomegranate inside. Doesn't sound too unhealthy, right? Well of course Costco stopped carrying them! They have some that are Kirkland brand now but they're just not the same! The chocolate isn't as creamy and the fruit is bleh. As I'm searching up and down the aisles in case they cruelly moved the good chocolate balls, I find dark chocolate and coconut covered almonds. I tried them today in my lunch. Yesssss! All is well. Sweet tooth satisfied.
