Fun with the Leahy twins!

So while big bro Aidan was galavanting through rain with his Nana and poor Daddy Leahy had to stay late at work, Kristin brought the 6 month old twins, Addison and Alec, over to play at my house last night for dinner. It was so much fun watching them! Oma and Pop-pop came to visit for a little while too.

Beca got another birthday present! Tinkerbell exploded on our floor! Way cute stuff from the Disney Store! Kristin is AWESOME!

Beca was starving after swim lessons so my parents hung out with the twins while the rest of us ate my version of chicken parmesan. Beca's reward for eating all her food (or whatever amount of it we said she had to eat) was to get to hold the twins. They were definitely bigger than the last time she asked to do that!! She wanted to hold "the girl" first.

Alec is a big giggler. It's very funny - got some good smiles out of Addison too!

Beca helped Kristin try to feed Alec his solid food but he didn't really want a second meal that day (they are just starting solids) while I fed Addison who is totally into eating, even if she laps it like a doggie (her mom's words).

Feednig cereal early on is messy - I forgot how messy. Alec was done first eating so he got a bath first while I finished Addison's eating. I then took Alec to get him dressed and Beca helped wash Addison - she was very good at it. The tricky part was what to do with Alec for a minute when I went back to get Addison to dress her - thankfully they don't roll far, yet. Beca tried to help feed a bottle but it was difficult because alec was already trying to fight sleep. While Kristin cleaned up, Addison snuggled down on me and fell asleep and Alec just sat and watched the happenings, fighting sleep the whole way. He finally shut his eyes when we put him in his car seat and there was nothing interesting to see.

I can't imagine doing that every night but as my mom sent me recently - "The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God cannot protect you". At least some parts get easier as they get older!
