It takes a village...

So, remember how I said we were just waiting for Jake to take some steps? Well, he did. He sure did. He waiting until I checked into the hospital on Friday and then he took his first steps. I'm with him 24/7 and he waits until I'm gone. All kidding aside I'm so thrilled. They are both still very tentative with it and realize that they can get places much more quickly by crawling, so I can see that it will still be a while before they take off running. 

The last few days have been a little nuts. With quite a bit of extra help things have been going well. I am beginning to heal and really look forward to being able to pick the boys up and love on them. My mom is still here, my dad left this evening and today was our first day with Nubia. She's watching the boys this week and she is wonderful - they already love her. It's been really hard to be right here and not be taking care of the boys, but they are in the wonderful hands of Peter, my mom, my dad and Nubia. Next week Mirinda will be here to be with them. 

They seem to be growing by leaps and bounds. Walking, talking and getting cuter by the minute. They are obsessed with stars...we have some starlights in their room and the second they wake up they must have them turned on (I'll put up a picture of that later). Now they are identifying stars all over. Jake said 'peas' and 'fish' today to Nubia and my mom. Miles is big on 'dog' still. They are both sooooooo into 'Papa' and 'Dada.' They love their stacking blocks and stacking rings, any car or truck, playing peek-a-boo with each other, balls, and any and all books. Oh my goodness are they obsessed with books & being read to. Right now their favorites are the word/picture books. They will sit in their Elmo seats and look at books forever. I'll get pictures of that soon also.

So...I'm on the mend. It literally takes a village and we are lucky to have one! Hopefully I'll get some pictures posted soon.
