We survived week 1 without Brian

Not only did we survive but I'd say it was my best week alone with the babies so far.  Brian and I worked over the summer to get the babies on a nap schedule and it has really payed off. 

 it also helped that I had my mom and Marsha visit on Wednesday and Thursday because that meant that my mom came with me to our Wednesday baby group and also to James' eye appointment and both babies chiropractor appointments.  

We took James to the eye doctor again to confirm that his different sized pupils were not affecting his vision.  The doctor said that James' eyes are working perfectly!  We also took the twins to their third chiropractor appointment.  Josie has some stiffness in her pelvis but it is James who seems the most in need of adjustment.  He has a tight right shoulder and some tightness in this upper back that may be making crawling challenging or uncomfortable for him.  We have been going for 2 weeks now and we have definitely seen a development in James' crawling.  He is managing to pull and push himself all over our living room now.  

We also FINALLY had a visit from Uncle Mike.  

Josie had another milestone herself this week.  She said her second word: dog.  She said this about 20 times on Thursday while looking at Tramp and Xena. 

On Wednesday morning we also had a visit from my friend Holly with her 2 month old twin boys Hunter and Hayden.  It is so great to be able to swap experiences with another twin mom!  

Today the twins took their first trip to Waterloo to attend a bridal shower for Auntie Jenn.  They were very well behaved all afternoon.  

Church on Sunday!
