Unsolicited walking

  The babies had their one year well baby exams and we proceeded to leave their "stats" printouts at the docs office.  If memory serves, Tayeb was 20 lbs 11 oz and Iman was maybe 17.5 lbs?  I can't remember, it was a whole week ago.  I know we were told to try and bulk Iman up a bit.  I think the fact that they have both almost tripled their birth weight in one year is impressive, but I guess it doesn't work like that.  The babies and I are ready for spring, every day I look outside waiting for the sun and warmth, for a day that begs us to go outside and play.  Until then here are a few shots of the babes hanging in the living room.

Lions and tigers and bears oh my!

Checking out the backyard for kitties and squirrels.

Iman manages to hold four of these "gears" in one hand and then spends a half hour trying to repeat the feat.  I think she is going to be stubborn like her mama.

I love the innocent look away as she dives her entire fist into her snack trap in search of more goldfish.
This little top is tricky, requiring a quick turn to get it to light up and sing, both babes are trying to figure it out.

A friend of ours heard how much Iman enjoys texting on her daddy's blackberry.  He works in I.T. and was nice enough to bestow the babes with blackberrys... (or would it be blackberries like the fruit?) of their very own.  Of course Iman needs to hold both of them, somehow with two babies you need three of really great toys so Bibi still has at least one.

The whole family taking a lazy Saturday morning nap.

We took a trip up to my old stomping grounds in NH, it turned out to be a beautiful day and we enjoyed a nice walk through the wilderness.  It makes me look forward to hiking and camping with babes this summer, is that nuts?  Can we camp with babies?

 

The Babies B, jammin' while they eat

And the "piece de resistence", Iman started to do some unsolicited walking over the weekend.

Not to be left behind, Bibi saw his sister and decided to follow suit today.  Please ignore mommy brain videographer.  I am so used to taking pictures vertically and seem to forget that videos don't rotate so easily, so turn your heads and enjoy.

Today I called Bibi "Captain Hectic", I just love this clip of him getting that booty in the air and then his walk with reckless abandon... that's my boy!
