Sleep Over

We had our second ever family sleep over on Friday night. Last time Hyrum was 2 1/2 years old so it's been a while! Our new favorite place to play the last couple of weeks are the couches smashed together. The boys call it their tree house. So we watched a movie, had ice cream, told ghost stories, & played games on the tree house. It was fun but I think it will be funner (is that a word? I don't think it is) when the boys are old enough to not be so cranky staying up until 10pm-3 hours past their bedtime! Jeremy & I drug our futon out to the living room to sleep on.

I still can't believe we slept on that thing for the first 3 years of our marriage. I just didn't want to spend money on a bed! I love our bed now.

Luckily Hyrum took one of his blue-moon naps that afternoon.

In twin news:

*They are 6 months today!

*They are sleeping a solid 11-12 hours through the night

*They are doing pretty well sitting up on their own, especially Justin. We keep pillows around them in case-I have finally found something to do with the 6 couch cushions we have but never use except for an occasional pillow fight.

*They love rice cereal & would probably enjoy more variety if I would just take the time to make/buy them something different! Justin has become quite the pro. Emma still tries to suck it down with her tongue like her bottle & ends up crying the whole time she's eating but she cries harder if I stop feeding her! Hopefully she'll get the hang of it soon.

*Justin is enjoying blowing raspberries, his exersaucer, & playing with Hyrum. He is completely ticklish & does (what we've dubbed) the Justin flap constantly. We'll have to make a video.

*Emma isn't crawling yet but she wants to so badly. She spends all of her time on all fours it seems & gets up on her feet with her hands on the ground. She is still the smiliest baby. Hunter will talk to her sometimes like he's having a conversation with her-it's so cute & she gets so excited. She loves to be social :)
