WE'VE CHANGED DIAPERS

Since July I've been sneaking into Oliver's room around midnight to change his diaper once more before I go to bed. Even so, he would be soaked through by morning almost daily. He does not drink excessively--but he has been known to sleep up to 15 hours a night. (I know; I couldn't love him more.) We got a tip about Pampers Cruisers and made the switch from Huggies. The Pampers have been doing a much better job for my little race horse. Plus they have a pleasant baby powder scent.

TWO BOYS, JANUARY '09

It's been a while since we posted any video. Here's a little montage of life around the house this winter.

LOOK WHO'S WALKING, TOO!

At 10 1/2 months, Lennox took off walking on January 9, 2009! The squat-thrusts he has been pounding since he turned nine months have paid off at last. His are some powerful little thighs, inspiring a new nickname: "OX." (As in "Strong as an ox.") He can walk across the room, but Oliver and Maudie rarely give him the chance.

WINTER FUN

Lots of snow this year: bundle up.

CHRISTMAS 2008

OVERDUE

For the past week or two, the babies have been alternating naptimes. After breakfast X goes down for his morning nap and then happens to wake just as I put Oli down for his nap (O's down to one day-time snooze). Then after Oliver is up for a while, X is ready for his late afternoon nap. I believe they're in cahoots to keep me from the daily shower I had started to take for granted. No overlapping naps also means no blog time during the day. I'm behind.
