The twins spent a few days in CT visiting, Aunt Sherry, Uncle Larry, Dustin, Autumn, Elena, and Auntie M to celebrate the holidays with them. And we think the twins did a pretty good job keeping everyone straight.
The twins loved their big cousin Autumn, who is so patient and sweet with them, she is 3 and twice their age. She is a great at sharing, even so much when her great grandpa gave her a gift of a baby doll and stroller and Orli made it very apparent that she wanted it she let Orli have the first spin with the new baby. Orli loved that little doll and really wanted to feed it a bottle. Zev kept calling for Autumn, saying her name so clearly that she kept responding "what?". They know who Sherry and Larry are and well Orli loved Dustin to bits, she kept reaching up for him so he could show her three very big fish in the 20 gal fish tank. "Bish!" "Agua". Again we thank our family for taking on the challenge of hosting a family of 4, overall it was a very nice time, Grandma Val would have been very happy that we were all together under one roof spending this special time with each other.
Auntie M got a real big surprise when Zev pushed a button with a big cross on it on her phone and auto dialed 911. We thought we hung it up before it rang, but nope, a nice police officer was soon at the door making sure all was ok. Imagine how many babies are dialing 911? And now that Zev and Orli got a new toy cell phone that teaches you how to call big fire trucks and police by dialing 911 I'm sure we'll have a few impromptu visits from our friendly neighborhood fire department.

Keys found!!
Yes, one week later we found daddy's keys. They were found on garbage day in the pail of the bathroom garbage. Good thing mommy dumped the contents into a new bag and heard the telltale "jingle-jingle".
Zev goes to an asthma specialist today, we'll see how that goes. It has been 1 month of daily treatments.
We saw GG this weekend, aunt Louise, Uncle Stanley, cousins Susan and Donna, Auntie Sherry, Larry, Dustin on our way through CT. They loved seeing everyone and saying hello. We stayed with Lee and turned his apartment into a tornado, so now all of his choking hazards are out of the way, breakables up high and he's left with a stinky garbage pail. Thanks for your hospitality and patience Lee.
Zev took his first real steps over the weekend, he is thinking of trying to walk about 20% of the time, he's so accustom to crawling he doesn't realize he can muster up a few steps. So now it is a matter of choice. He takes a few wobbly, hesitant steps to get to a surface he can pull himself up on or a wall. He's all smiles when he is walking, but crawling wins out because it is faster.
Orli has been very observant, she got a hold of mommy's keys and walked up to doors with one key extended and poked around the door knob with the key. She's watching and learning. Monkey see, monkey do.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our 21lb babies!!
The babies are 1 year. Today they got their one year check up and they are both 21lbs. Zev is just 1 ounce heavier than Orli and he is 1/2 inch taller. So he is not the "bigger" one by that much. They are still not walking yet, but Orli can pull you to where she wants to go as she walks. Before their birthday we got some photos taken at the mall, because they are our kids, they came out very cute despite exposure, focus, contrast and what ever else a real photograher may critique, you know who you are (hint hint, take some art photos of our kids). It was exausting, they kept crawling away, crying, trying to play with toys and never really looking and smiling at the camera. The poor chick did manage to snap a few good ones. Maybe we'll scan them in.
The party was on Saturday, Zev and Orli had their own cakes and a cupcake each to mush up.
Both tried to grab the flames of the candles and then Zev mushed his cake in his eye. It swelled up and had a bubble in it, that got better after a few hours. Then before bedtime he tripped and fell and smacked his cheek on a box.
They got tons of gifts, every one was so generous. They got puzzles, a cat and dog plush toy, a frog and penguin stuffed animals, finger puppets, something that makes noise from Auntie Faline, a pinic bench from fi_and_c, money, clothes, PJs, a jewish book, onsies that say "if you think I'm cute you should see my twin", drum and instruments (now we can throw away our ghetto water bottle filled with beans instrument), lots of adorable outfits you'll see them modeling this summer here on this blog.
We learned two of our dear friends are expecting, yeah more babies!! We can't wait.
Meanwhile other dear friends gave birth last Wednesday to a baby boy, name to be announced today at the brit milah. So they missed out on the party to say the least. Orli and Zev can't wait to meet him.
Oh and how could we forget. A surprise vist from their big cousin Autumn with her daddy and mommy all the way from Arizona, and Aunti Sherry and uncle Larry. Auntie Faline brought her adorable little man Lincoln with his huge blue eyes that made everyone say "boy he's going to be a heart breaker when he grows up". Benjamin was there, so was Nico and Alex, Nico is also 1 and can walk, Henry with his mommy and daddy were there too.

Twins are 9 months Old Today.
The twins saw lots of family this weekend.
First they visited with Grandma Val for lunch on Friday during a nasty rain storm. Orli pointed and smiled at Grandma and Grandma loved to see them smile and laugh. She got to sit them on her lap for a short while but she has a tough time because she is a little weak and they are very squirmy. Auntie Sherry was also there to hug and squeeze the babies and help with a feeding, we watched a movie during the rain storm.
From there we went to see Lee in Manhattan after a very tough drive from New Haven in the pouring rain. The twins were very well behaved at a late dinner at an Indian restaurant, the manager was also a father of twins. Lee had his share of holding a baby and being the designated sherpa while walking the neighborhood. We managed to turn his apartment into a pigpen in 3 seconds with clothes, socks, diaperbag, pack-n-play, baby food, bottles...They are so little but need so much stuff.
On Saturday the twins went and visted their GG (Greatgrandma) in the rehab center while she heals from her fall. She said "Kaynahorah" about a dozen times after she said they were so beautiful and healthy and happy. While we were in Brooklyn we got an opportunity to look at some old family photos that GG has. It is just wonderful to see how our babies resemble people we love. One picture of GG as a todler sitting on a pony reminded us of Orli.
We then went out to eat at Adelman's in Brooklyn on Kings Highway, again the babies behaved and lots of admirers stopped by to check them out, one lady, was a twin herself. The babies ate their first Matzoh Ball soup with noodles and seemed to like it. It was the biggest, most fluffiest, perfectly round matzoh ball we had ever seen, I wish we took a picture, it was about a little larger than a baseball. It the babies first Kosher restaurant and Mommy's first time eating poultry in public in more than 20 years. (Smoked Turkey sandwich three inches thick -- all Kosher)
Then we went to see Aunt Louise and Uncle Stanley, Cousin Craig with his pretty girlfriend Olga also stopped in for a visit. It seems other cousins couldn't muster up enough energy to get out of bed... you know who you are. The babies got to be held and cuddled by more people. Mommy and Daddy got to eat some good bagels for a change. See more holding two at once challenges completed by the very brave.
Finally we drove home, made good time and were able to go to a Superbowl Party which unfortunatly the twins did not get to enjoy their home team winning the game because the Pats played pretty terribly and now Orli and Zev are sad...
One really cool thing did happen during the game at least, Orli for a few seconds stood on her own unassisted not holding on to anything accept a football clapper noise maker in her little pudgy hand.
