Baby's Room

We moved the girls out into their own room on Monday after my Mum left. The girls didn't seem to notice but we did - much better sleep now that we're not awakening to every little noise they make. The room looks great - this weekend we're going out to get a second crib. The girls are quite long and when we put them down at night their legs now touch and they enjoy kicking each other. Which would be fine - but they also rotate so some mornings I've come in to find Gwendolyn with this big smile on her face kicking away only a couple of inches from Rowan's face.
Having my Mum here for the week was great - if only for the adult conversion during the day. But having someone to help with feed the girls allowed us more free time between feedings to go out to the mall, walk to High Park and around Roncesvalles. Mum also left us with some meals in the freezer. The girls loved having their Granny here - which I found out the hard way in the afternoon after she left. They were no longer content to let one be fed first and they loved the constant attention but now a couple of days later they have slipped back into their old routine once I assured them that Granny would be coming back.Now that the girls have a steady routine - I've started looking for baby groups to join but they seem to shut down for the summer. I have found that Starbucks is a great place to find other mothers with babies. And having twins attracts so much attention that starting conversations is easy. Plus our local Starbucks is ideally setup for twins - the washroom are large to accommodate a double stroller and they are equipped with change table. They have big comfy chairs in a corner for feeding and the barristers are so helpful - helping me with the doors and bringing me my drink if the girls require attention. It's about a 20min walk up Roncesvalles - up hill one way to I'm getting some exercise was well.

We brought the girls and activity mat - Gwendolyn is doing very well - lifting her head up and pushing her shoulders of the ground. Rowen prefers to be on her back and working on turning over.

As busy was we are with the girls - we still find time to chill out.
