What I Do All Day

OK - so my day can sometimes be a constant cycle of feeding, cleaning up, changing poopy diapers, feeding, cleaning up. You get the picture. If you need any more proof...please see below pictures. I PROMISE YOU: I do not make this up. I DO NOT embellish these photos one bit.
Besides the nice Mohawk he created with the cream cheese off his bagel, notice the spike in the very back of Wyatt's hair. I think I am going to start our own line of hair products. Who needs gel?!

Picnic in the Park

One of the things we really enjoy on the weekends is loading the babies up in the Wagon and walking up to the park. We pack a lunch and some toys then let the babies run around the park to try and tire them out! :-) Works for a little bit!

Wyatt is ready for T-ball already! He loves his bat - don't try and take it from him while he is awake. We wait until he has gone to bed, then we hide the bat until next time.

Teagan loves to push. She will push her wagon - push the stroller - push her brother off ride'em toys in the house - whatever she can get her hands on.

Summer Fun!

It has been an exciting, fun and BUSY summer. Not sure how it happens, but it seems like you never have enough time and it just goes by too quickly. These are the babies playing in their new cars that they got for their birthday. They love to sit in the car - climb through the car - open and shut the door - too much fun.



These are the babies getting into trouble. For some reason, they love to pull open their drawers then they proceed to pull out the drawer's contents and carry it around the house. The current fascination is their bath drawer. They will pull out the washcloths, carry them around the house, put them on their heads then walk around with the washcloths on their heads...laughing while I walk behind them and pick it all up!

We belong to the local chapter of the Twins Club - also know as Parents of Multiples. They had their annual summer BBQ - so we went with the babies. The babies had fun. Lots of other "toddlers" there for them to watch and play with.

My Sweet Sweet Miss May....This girl truly lives up to her middle name. She is named after my grandmother who was a handful. You can't tell from this picture, but this was a plate filled with bubble solution that the other "bigger kids" were playing bubbles with. T.May went over and picked up the plate - dumped out all the bubble sauce, then ate the plate! Yummy.

This picture of Travis and Wyatt melts my heart....I dreamed of this picture for so long...I just love seeing Travis walk with his mini-me. Love you both.

Wyatt Walking

These shots not only showcase Wyatt walking - but they also showcase the babies intense love affair of blueberries. The babies just adore blueberries. It is hands down their favorite food. Well, next to Pirate Booty, it would be a tough call. In these photos Daddy gave Mommy the morning off - and gave the babies all the blueberries they could eat! :-) I usually limit them - but Daddy just gave them whatever they wanted. We ended up with a couple of blueberry stains - but lots of memories!

Wyatt started walking just after their first birthday - the first few days of July. I think he was under intense pressure because his sister had already started walking - or - he saw her and thought that was a much cooler mode of transportation. Whatever it was - he started walking - was VERY wobbly - but "worked it out" and has been walking ever since!

Big Babies!

I am a little late on posting this - but we had the babies one year appointment a couple of weeks ago - both babies are 100% healthy and on track. Love a clean bill of health!

We learned that both babies are on the large side...which is amazing considering how small they were when they were born.

Wyatt Clinton Goodrich - born at 4 pounds 11 ounces - at one year is now....

23 pounds 11 ounces (75%)

32 inches tall (95%)

Teagan May Goodrich - born at 6 pounds - at one year is now....

23 pounds 3 ounces (75%)

31 3/4 inches tall (Not even on the chart!)

It has been so nice and summery these days - I have set their traveling high chairs up on the patio table. So we go outside for lunch or dinner and eat. Of course the dogs love it because the babies drop their food, I like it because it is less to clean up and the babies like to watch the dogs while they eat!

First Birthday!!!!

The babies turned one today - June 25th, 2008. We are elated. I can't tell you what an amazing, challenging, and rewarding year it has been. We are in constant awe of the babies....so proud to be their Mommy and Daddy. Happy Birthday Teagan and Wyatt. We love you. We are looking forward to the next year.

First Walker

Teagan is walking. She took her first steps the beginning of June. Just after her 11 month birthday. By her first birthday - today - she is quite a good little walker. I need video to show you...but for now...this photo will have to work.
