Twins at 19 months!!!

The twins are growing up so quickly! They are already 19 months old! It seems like only a few months ago we were bringing them home from the hospital.
They had their 18 month check-up and all is well. Adam is about 28 lbs and 32 inches tall and at 74%! Adam is now walking and has been for a little while now. One night when we were going on a Buffalo Wild Wings date, the Perkins family came over to watch the babies. They brought their 3 pretty girls with them and within 5 minutes Adam was chasing them around the house doing 20 steps at a time. So, I was excited that he finally decided to walk. Well, come to find out it was only because he was chasing after the pretty girls! After that night he wouldn't walk but maybe 6steps at a time until we started trying something new. Instead of walking him holding his arms we started trying to hold his hips and this helped a little bit but then Jonathan decided to just hold on to the bottom of his shirt in back and pull just a little. He thought we were back there holding on and when we let go he would walk! Now he is practically running everywhere! He decided he didn't want to do it until he knew he could master it! It is so nice to have him walking now! Adam loves to read his books! He could read the many books he has for minutes - not hours but I can see him doing that soon! He loves to swim and they have been swimming with the Perkins girls twice in the last week! Adam loves his watermelon and strawberries! We can't put those in his sight if we want him to eat anything else. Adam has almost all of his teeth now. In fact, he is cutting an I-tooth now and isn't sleeping as much as usual because of the pain. Poor baby!
Mia is 20 lbs and 30.75 inches tall and only 2%! We are still working on getting Mia's percent up to at least 5%. She is just so active that she runs it off! But we still need to get her up to a healthy weight. Actually, you should see her running! She is so prissy in her run - up on her toes! It is the cutest thing! She if full of excitement, laughter, joy, and love! She loves to carry a purse or a bag around and put toys and other items in it! She also loves to put baby rings (ones that hold toys to bouncers and strollers) on her wrist like they are bracelets! I don't know where she gets this because I don't wear bracelets or hardly any jewelry at all! I am going to have to make her some bracelets, so she can wear them to church and out shopping. She is totally a girly girl! On the other side, she doesn't mind getting dirty! She and her brother make the biggest messes while eating. She loves beans, watermelon, strawberries, etc which all leave her very colorful after eating especially with the black beans! She also likes to dig in her diaper on accasion and paint art all over her crib! (no that she didn't get from me either!!!) Speaking of poo, last night was a first! The twins were getting their bath last night and we usually will let them play for a little while before we start bathing them. Well, Mia had decided that her daddy had taken to long to bathe her so she pooped in the bathtub! It was funny and groose all at the same time. We quickly got them out of the bath and cleaned it up and then had to start the bath all over again! This time we didn't let them play because you never know when round 2 will come! There's a first time for everything but hopefully that is also the last for that one! Mia has about 7 or 8 teeth now. She started late with the teeth but that is okay because I hear they are more healthy the longer they wait. Mia also loves swimming but when she is finished she will let you know as I found out yesterday!
Being a mom to these 2 wonderful little ones has been such a blessing in my life and well worth the wait! Hopefully, we won't have to wait as long for the next one though!
I will try to update this more often! Jonathan is the better blogger not me, but he is very busy training for a 1/2 Ironman in Oct and his new church calling as Young Men President.
New photos to be posted to facebook later today which will probably be titled Jonathan's sense of humor! You will see why!!!
