Courtesy of Teagan!


This morning I had the babies sitting on the couch with me. I give them a pile of toys and sit them up on the couch like little people. I turned away for a second to read something and when I looked back - Wyatt was on his side. So I sat him back up and discovered his new hairstyle. Apparently while he was down trying to get at a toy - Teagan thought it might be a toy to chew on - so she sucked on his head!

Thanks Sis.

Uh, We are big kids now Mom....

It is official - the babies can sit up on their own now. Yippeee!!! They are still a bit wobbly - and we always think of that song: "Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down."


Wyatt can sit up great - but he much prefers to be on his tummy rolling around the room and getting ready to crawl. He can get up on all fours and rock back and forth...but no crawling yet. It is coming though...! Too soon...I am not sure we will ever be ready for two of them crawling at the same time.

The babies are growing so quickly. I took this picture of them at their Learning Table the other day for Travis while he was in London - and I was amazed at how grown up they looked. They just look so sophisticated sitting there!

They love playing together these days. It is the cutest thing to see them laugh at something together - or - laugh at one another. More often than not - Teagan will let out a big scream and Wyatt will be a little startled then laugh at her.

Here they are: Six Months and Four Weeks.

We have teeth!

We last posted that the babies were getting their bottom teeth in at the end of November/beginning of December. I finally have proof!
Can you see Teagan's two bottom teeth?
It is really tough getting Wyatt's teeth - but I finally did it!

Here is a photo of them - snapped on Christmas Day - they don't look anything alike.

Thanks to their Ga'Ma for these adorable little outfits. How mad are these kids going to be at me when they are teenagers for all the butt shots?!

6 Months Old


The babies had their 6 month check up today. They are perfectly healthy and developing right on track. Yeah! We always love good Dr.'s appointments.
Wyatt's stats:
17 pounds 1 oz (4 pounds more than his 4 month check up) - 50 % for Weight
27 3/4 " Long (3 3/4 inches longer than his 4 month check up) - 90 % for Height

Teagan is:
18 Pounds 7 oz (3 pounds 4 oz more than her 4 month check up) - 90 % for Weight
27" Long ( 2 inches longer than her 4 month check up) - 90 % for Height

Wyatt is gaining on his sister! He is now longer than her - which is pretty good because he was born 1/2 inch shorter - and he is only 1 pound 5 oz lighter than her which is basically where they started when they were born.
Happy Holidays Everyone! Cheers to a Happy and Healthy New Year!

More Holiday Cheer!


Teagan and Wyatt in their "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" outfits.
Not sure if you can see - but Teagan has been working on getting her two bottom teeth in for the last few weeks. Wyatt also got both his bottom teeth in too. I am TRYING to get his on film - but so far - it has proven to be impossible!
So when we were pregnant we went to a class on "Expecting Multiples." Travis ran into a friend that he grew up playing baseball with as a kid - Brian Affrunti. Brian and his wife Gina were expecting identical twin boys. We kept in touch with them throughout our pregnancies and I became instant friends with Gina. Her and I actually had the same horrific last few weeks of pregnancy together over the phone since we were both housebound!

The Affrunti boys and the Goodrich twins are just 10 days apart. The Goodrich twins made their debut at 36 weeks and the Affrunti boys made it to 38 weeks (way too comfortable in there!)

Chase is on the top of the photo - he is wearing the green stripes. Blake is wearing the yellow stripes. We are waiting to see if they are "mirror image" identical twins. Meaning, one is left handed one is right, their hair parts on different sides, etc.
Since the babies are so close in age - it makes for a perfect playdate. Which is basically an excuse to break up the weekly routine and go explore new toys! And it is always a challenge to see which baby will win the "crankiest" award for the day. I think Teagan won today - she is sort of going through a "stranger anxiety" phase these days. Oh well.

Chase, Blake, Teagan and Wyatt

Fun times!!

It is pretty funny - but lately Teagan and Wyatt have started to play the "hey - I want that" game. One of them will have a toy and the other will see it - drop their toy - and grab for the other toy. Oh boy....it is just getting started right?!

December Update













Happy Holidays!

Here are some recent pics of the babies. They are getting so big...it is amazing how quickly they grow. Everyone told us "it all goes by so quickly." And it sure does. They are so much fun these days. They have started to laugh whenever you do something goofy or make a funny sound. Teagan has this oh so cute habit of actually grunting when she has to poop. Wyatt has this really cool raspy little voice. They are really starting to develop their own personalities.

Here they are in one of their Holiday outfits. Notice that I did not put the "Ho Ho Ho" on Teagan. Couldn't do. Wouldn't be prudent.



Friends of ours - Doug and Iliana - got them these camo outfits that we thought were hysterical. They are all ready to go duck hunting with ya Doug!

By this point - we think both of their eyes will be blue. Teagan's are a very light blue - which I think she gets from my Dad. Wyatt's are a very deep blue which we think comes from Travis' side.
I am not sure if you can see them or not - but Teagan got her two bottom teeth in at the begining of the month. She got both at the same time. She is a pretty intense little baby. Whenever she wants something she grunts and throws her right arm towards it.

Wyatt got one bottom tooth in about five days after Teagan got hers. He tends to be a little more mellow. He can just hang out, lay on the floor, stare at a toy and be perfectly content.

Here they are!

On the move!



This is a picture of Wyatt and Teagan in our new stroller. Travis - being the loving husband that he is - bought me a "Bob" stroller. For those of you not in the baby world (which was us!) the Bob stroller is like the Cadillac Escalade of strollers. It even has its own shock system. No kidding. It is sooo much easier to take the babies out on walks now.

How cute are they?!


I snapped this photo of Wyatt and Travis watching football on Sunday a couple of weeks ago. Any doubt that Wyatt is his fathers son?!
