Stranger Anxiety
Today we went to visit my husband at work. It was the first time his co-workers had seen the Wonder Twins since they were 2 months old. Monkey Boy was sleeping when we went in. He woke to find a bunch of women looking at him. He immediately started crying. We let a friend hold Little Frog… She started crying too! The only thing that kept them calm was if Mommy or Daddy was holding them. They have never been like this before. Most of the time they are happy go lucky and will let just about anyone hold them.
So, I guess the stranger anxiety has begun!
Got the Giggles!
Sometimes the babies get into a laughing fit. Here is Monkey Boy cracking up. I can’t help but laugh when I watch it!
Who is that Baby in the mirror?
My mom said I use to love to look at myself in the mirror while bouncing. So, we put up a mirror next to ours. Bree will jump for awhile, then check out the baby in the mirror… jump… check… etc. She LOVES that jumperoo!!!
Tips for Moms or Dads
Periodically, I will try to post some tips I have figured out. They may not work for everyone, but it works for me.
Tip #1
Babies often fall asleep in the car. If it is soon to be nap time, and I am headed somewhere, I go ahead and leave early. I let them sleep in the car so they get more of a nap. I check out books on CD. So, if I am driving to get them to fall asleep, or I am at my destination but don’t want to disturb them, I enjoy a good book. I am currently listening to “Other People’s Children”. I am often sitting in my drive way, returned from some outing, listening to a story while the Wonder Twins sleep.
Little Tar Heels
My husband is a major Carolina fan… That makes me one by marriage… That makes my children ones by birth. So, here are our Little Tar Heels!
