all the little fishies

...are swimming in the water...

this was July 2 - our first trip to the pool and we had a blast
the boys actually stayed asleep in the water which was kind of neat to see - we have noticed during bath time that they don't mind water on their faces or heads even when we pour it over their heads to rinse the shampoo - definitely got mommy's water baby genes

we've gotten some odd looks from people who think our boys are too young to be in the water but our philosophy is we'd rather expose them to it now so they won't be afraid of it later!
they definitely do not seem to mind - snoozing on the pool deck seems to be their favorite pastime

we have officially joined the mommy's circle at the pool (or i guess any where that we go where women [and men] congregate) - it was really nice to sit with a group of moms and just talk about our kids! it has always been us as babysitters trying to interact with other parents or simply being ignored while we try to wrangle crazy kids - from now on it's mommy and mama take on the world!

5 weeks

seriously? you're already 5 weeks old? wow...it seems like a lifetime ago and also like it was just yesterday.
apparently the boys wanted to wait up for mama's birthday because we couldn't settle down last night until slightly past midnight - so thank you boys for ushering in my birthday! it made it that much more special...birthdays are an interesting thing because it does feel like just another day...hopefully my boys are coming to see me at work today which is always appreciated and lovely!

i'm looking forward to a weekend of relaxing and spending some time with the boys. we will be taking our first trip to the pool this weekend as our membership starts today and the boys have been given the OK from the pediatrician to go into a pool. at least they are closer fitting in to their swim suits...so my boss thinks it's entirely funny that we bought bathing suits for the boys but they aren't allowed sunscreen and their heads are just too small for sun hats. speaking of which - i ordered smaller hats from buybuybaby about 3 weeks ago but haven't heard anything from them. i'm a bit perturbed (currently on hold with the store) and i'm hoping that i can track down these hats in time for pool time this weekend!
