Museum and Brothers

Thought I would post some recent photos. We went to Chicago last weekend to the Field Museum. Eli has been infatuated with "Night at the Museum" so seeing "Sue" the T-Rex skeleton there was pretty awesome. Although other parts of the museum freaked him out, especially the Mummies. But it was fun and the deep dish pizza afterward was yummy!









Below are new pictures of the boys. The first one is a nightly ritual, the boys scream at bed time, most of it is sympathy crying, one will start and the other starts up. Fun times.
The next one is too cute. It shows the best of brotherly love. They have finally realized that each other exists and are talking to each other. It is priceless

Stella, Don't Leave Stella

Sorry to break all the young girls hearts out there, but Eli's heart has been taken by our 5 year old neighbor, named Stella. Eli and her have become playmates. She will come over to play and stay for a little while, then Eli and her will have a small dispute and she will leave. This leaves Eli in despair. wailing at the door, "Stella don't leave, I need Stella, I love her". It breaks a mom's heart to see him torn up like that. Oh it is going to be a long road ahead. the first picture was taken after Stella just left.
In lighter news, well maybe not lighter. We Frisbies are enjoying (sarcastic) Wisconsin's worse winter in like 30 years. It snows constantly and if it isn't snowing it is freezing cold. We are learning how to keep warm and find things to do indoors. Like make sugar cookies. We made them with, let you guess, (our neighbor Stella). They had a good time, and I learned how to step back and let the kids bake.

My Advanced Children

Can I just say that children are so smart and they figure things out way too quickly. Last night I was woken up from my deep slumber at 2 a.m.. Now this is not at all unusual, having babies and all, but this time was special. I went into the twins room to see who was fussing and it was Emerson. Now, it wasn't that he woke up that surprised me, it was the way that I found him. My boys sleep on their tummies (so sue me for wanting to get some sleep and that was the only way they would sleep well). But Emerson was not on his tummy anymore. He had rolled over to his back, and successfully unwrapped his swaddle, thus woken himself up completely. Thankfully after the belly was filled he slipped back into a deep slumber until 7:15a.m. Now this has happened several time recently (Emerson rolling over from belly to back). I can only imagine how quickly they are going to learn that they can move, and when that happens world beware. (Actually, it will be Brittany and Brittany's stuff beware.) Oh FYI, Oliver rolled over today too, during tummy time. They are too young for that.
Weight and height update. My little babies aren't so little anymore. They both wight about 14lbs and are 23 1/2 inches tall. They have doubled their birth weight and they aren't even three months old.
