He's Making a List, Checking it Twice

Aubrey woke up around 2:00 and Erin got up to give her a paci then she went right back to sleep.  Erin actually had to tell me that in the morning.  I think the nighttime medication I'm taking is really knocking me out because I normally wake up when the babies do, but I didn't wake up at all last night.  The babies were fed around 4:30.  Then we finished getting ready and got the boys up a little after 5:00.  We were running a little behind schedule this morning (mostly because I just didn't want to get out of bed).  I still managed to get most of my workout in before heading off to work.

It was a very warm day today.  I think it got up to the low 70s.  Hard to believe it's December.  Definitely nothing like Northern New York.  I was talking with one of the other managers at work and we were discussing how many people are from Northern/Upstate New York that work on the same program.  We were talking about how we should contact a few of the local papers from back home and see if they wanted to write a story.  Of course given the work that we do we would have to get it approved by our public affairs folks so we'll probably never do it.

The boys were outside playing when I pulled up to daycare.  They were watching a squirrel (which Brayden calls a mouse) run around and climb a tree.  They thought it was great watching the squirrel climb the tree.

We listened to Christmas music on the car ride home.  Dada tried to sing some of the songs, but it's amazing just how few words I actually know.  I basically remember the chorus and that's about it.  When we got hom Calvin didn't want to get out of the car.  He asked to listen to music some more.  I actually got him out of the car and he crawled back in.  Eventually I got him out by asking him to help dada carry the babies in the house.  Calvin grabbed on to Aubrey's car seat carrier and helped carry her in the house.

The boys barely ate any dinner.  Erin fed the babies tonight.  When Calvin and Brayden were as young as the babies are now we would each feed one of the boys.  We didn't really have a choice because they both would get very upset if we took more than a few seconds to give them another spoon full of baby food.  I have to say that Carter is most like Calvin and Brayden when it comes to food.  Aubrey is quite content to sit there and play rather than eat.  Carter will scream bloody murder when he is ready to eat.

Calvin and Brayden were much more needy and fussy tonight than usual.  I'm not really sure what was going on with them, but they wanted to be held pretty much all night.  It really makes for a difficult night when they behave this way.  I wonder if Santa is watching them...
