Nine months...

For one, we were sticklers about the "no screen time" until two years of age with Chloe. With these guys, I have no problem putting one in the exersaucer while Chloe is watching PBS so that I can have a tiny break--I had no idea it would captivate their attention as well as it does! Another big difference is feeding solids. With Chloe, I was steaming, pureeing and freezing everything for her. Since P&S started solids I have made 1, maybe 2, batches of baby food. The rest has been from a jar--so much faster and simpler, and I'm buying it by the case, we go through so much! The other big difference is getting out. When Chloe was between 3-24 months, I was doing at least 1 or 2 scheduled outings per week--varying from Sign and Sing to Little Gym, plus playgroups and visits to the Children's Museum and the like. Getting out with all 3 right now is a little daunting--it can be done, but we haven't braved any museums yet. And as for classes, I did a Moms-of-Twins class when they were newborns, and then tried another with singletons, and there was just no way of handling 2 babies--someone was always getting short changed! Given, they couldn't even sit up at that point, so if I wasn't holding them both, one was lying flat on his or her back staring at the ceiling. Not so fun...

Free Kid
Which one do you want...?
The one that's 2 steps away from walking and already nicknamed "Mr. Trouble"?
Or the one that's cutting 2 teeth and has been up at night all week?
Sorry, you can't have the one that's potty trained...I'm keeping her :)

Distressed Paper Frame
Here's a Prima layout, made using the gorgeous Sew Cute pre-stitched patterned paper. I love that it is so detailed and artsy looking right out of the package--makes it hard to go wrong no matter what!
I'm going to show you how I made the inset frame on this page for a distressed and slightly shabby look. First, I cut a piece of paper to fit behind the picture about two inches larger that the photo itself.
Then I sewed that paper, face down, to the back of the patterned paper using my sewing machine and going around several times.
On the right side of the patterned paper, I cut an X using my exacto knife.
Then I could begin to peel up the background paper revealing the underlying later beneath. You can see I used a bit of adhesive to hold the papers in place while I sewed, but this is probably not necessary.
Continue tearing away at the top layer of paper, being sure to leave a small margin close to your sewed line.
Add your picture, embellish and fold/tear the paper to create your frame. The nice thing about tearing the mulberry paper that the Prima Sew Cute line is made out of is that it leaves a really nice feathery edge with a lot of texture!

August is here
You'd think it'd be my favorite month, what with having my birthday in it and all, but really August kinda gets me down. Too much heat+humidity will do that to a girl...
This is my *first* Peter layout...I think I have been so excited to scrap some boy pages I got "scrappers block" so to speak. Anyways, I just think he's adorable, and I have so many great pictures just dying to be made into scrapbook pages--this is just the beginning!

Pretty typical scene--Peter on-the-move crawling, Sadie sitting and playing.
