Caring Kids
This morning the kids came to dad's aide in a very cute way. I had made them breakfast, they all were eating at the table while i was unloading dishes. I bent down to put some away in a low drawer then stood up quickly hitting the back of my head on an open corner of a cabinet door above. It was (and still is) so painful that I dropped to the ground waiting and hoping for the pain to pass. The kids didn't see it, but sprang into action about 15 seconds later, when they noticed me writhing on the floor.
Zack came over and gently put his arm on me and asked if i was ok and what happened. The girls came over too. Zadie suggested that she get me ice and she and Zack debated which ice pack to get out of the freezer and then brought both. Zadie suggested that she get me a blanket to put on me, and then Zoe ran back with her blankie. Zadie then got hers and put it on me too.
At this point it was getting cute, so I decided to remain on the floor. The pain was bad but the ice was helping.
Zack stayed by me and suggested he go find a third blanket to cover my feet, I said that it wasn't necessary, but thanks. Then, Zoe brought in a music box they had been playing with earlier in the week, and Zack and Zadie brought in a second one and wound it up. Zadie said the music would make me feel better. Then Zoe brought in a large pillow from the living room and Zack asked me to lift my head and put it under my head. THEN, Zadie saw me move a bit and crouched down next to me put her hand on me to stop me and said "Just stay down and rest, OK?".
HA!!! I was cracking up, on the floor, listening to a 3.5 year old tell me what to do while two music boxes battled it out for musical caring supremacy.
It's funny to see how they behave. Zack even asked if he should go wake up mommy and tell her. I said no, but that's a good idea especially if something happens to me and I'm not able to talk. Zoe was the fetcher, Zack was triage, and Zadie was the caring bedside manner role. So cute (and painful!)

Overheard at the dinner table
Zadie (after farting at the dinner table): Put-put! I eat put-puts.
Zoe (correcting her): We don't eat put-puts, we eat dinner tables!
Zoe (correcting her): We don't eat put-puts, we eat dinner tables!

Zack's alien
He made this out of clay all by himself while mom was out and dad was

What a morning, again
All of this happened before 10am.
-Zadie knocks her mouth against the piano and almost gets a trip to the ER, but we are able to manage the bleeding.
-Zadie then pees in the toilet with a kid seat for the first time!
-Zoe, not to be outdone then poops in the toilet for the first time!
-Zadie then poops in her first new big-girl pants she got to wear
-Zadie then pees in her second pair of big-girl pants she got to wear
-Zadie, now wearing a diaper again, walks into a wall corner and knocks herself down and cuts her head.
I wonder what is going to happen next!

Zack swims in the deep end!
So I honestly think that after watching all the olympic swimming, it caused Zack to turn a major corner in swimming. Before, he was always wary of the "deep end" of the pool (which is 80% of the pool). He would be happy just playing in the shallow end and never wanted to venture out.
So the other day in the shallow end, Zack says to me that he want to jump into the deep end together. I quickly agree and suggest we swim back to the nearby edge after we do. We do it, and Zack is totally fine doing it all himself. Jen then daringly suggests that we try and jump in and swim to the other side of the pool across the deep end. Zack doesn't hesitate, and so he and I both jump in and swim to the other side! Zack didn't need any help! He did it a few times without even using his hands and just trying dolphin kicks and swim kicks. And he tried a few time with big arms. We couldn't believe it! He even climbed out of the pool all by himself after reaching the edge, so now he's officially waterproofed at 4 1/2!
He then wanted to dive down and touch the bottom and pick up toys at the bottom of the 9 ft pool. So I helped him, even had him hold on to my back like a backpack as we went to the bottom. He's now a super fish!

Zoe talks in sentences
Here's an update that is long overdue.
Around 18 months, Zoe said her first sentence. She picked up a wrapper on the table, gave it to me and said , "This is trash."
It's great to see that she likes identifying things, and also helping! Since then she's been saying many 3-5 word sentences. She knows how to correctly interchange "I" and "you" when repeating sentences she hears, for example if I ask "are you poopy" she will say "yes, i'm poopy". She's very happy about trying to say the whole sentence, and you can see a look of concentration when she tries it.
Zadie has picked up on the baby signing more than Zoe, and Zadie relies more on hand signs to communicate what she wants.
Zoe's become very opinionated when it comes to clothes, so that when I dress her in the morning, I have to present her an option because she often resists what I first try to put on her.

18 Month Update
Ok, so it is nearly 6 months late, but here's the 18 month update for the girls. I had lost the stats and just found them again
Zoe:
Weight: 23#1oz = 25%
Length: 33 3/4 in = 95%
Zadie:
Weight: 22# = 10-25%
Length: 32 in = 50%
I forgot what the tooth count was at the time, but I believe that Zoe still only had 4 teeth, even at 18 months, and all of Zadie's teeth had come in. We've started to see Zoe pull ahead in size, and she's becoming noticeably bigger.
The girls were described to us by their daycare teacher in one word:
Zoe=contemplative
Zadie=spunky
The 2 year update will be coming in a week or two!

What a morning!
I had "one of those mornings" today, as a single dad. Jen left for work at 6:45. I had to get 3 kids ready and take 4 kids to school at 8:30.
Well, the short answer is every one is ok, but the family had an epic fail this morning. the only things missing were an injury or runaway dog.
First, Zack. Zack promised that he'd get dressed before his friend and classmate Gregory (and his new puppy) came over at 7am, but somehow that didn't happen. Poop #1 called and Zack was busy with that but made a mess and didn't clean himself well. Gregory was on the way in while I got a crying Zack back to the bathroom to get cleaned and into his bedroom to get dressed.
Then I go visit the girls, and am greeted with Zadie saying "uh-oh". Sure enough there is barf all over her crib and toys and a MED (massively exploded diaper) (which is Poop#2) to the point i couldn't tell the difference between the barf and poop. So she gets cleaned up up while Zack gets dressed and plays with Gregory. Zadie needs an instant bath because she has a mix of stuff all over her. Zoe is wandering around and trying to pull the soiled toys and stuff out of Zadie's crib so I try and quarantine the room and have Zoe wander with the boys while i clean Zadie. Zadie gets washed and dried (and gets upset that I used the doggie towel instead of the bunny towel) and dressed, then I tackle Zoe
Zoe was fine until I changed her (Poop #3) when it was clear she has a diaper rash which put her in a very foul mood. I barely got the diaper on, and she wouldn't let me put any clothes on her and began her Zoe-flop-tantrum. I left her alone in the living room because Zadie had just begun her tantrum. I close the door to the girls room to keep anyone else from going in there until i clean it.
Zack and Gregory had gotten some crackers out of Gregory's lunchbox, and Zadie saw them and wanted them, but she didn't get them and then became very upset. Gregory was nice to give her some to appease her when I asked and end the Zadie tantrum. So it's on to breakfast with a dressed Zadie and naked Zoe. I've run out of milk so I can't feed the kids what they are asking for (cereal) so it's apple juice and cereal bars and muffins for all. Zoe has calmed down a bit so it's off to get dressed again.
Back to Zoe's room I open the door and realize that the dog Tobey was closed inside. Not a problem until I realized that he had been "cleaning" the soiled bed toys and had decided to leave a small present (Poop#4) on the floor nearby. Zoe is calm enough now that she picks out her clothes (a pooh shirt, or should I say "poo" shirt). At this point I put on Sesame Street to enchant the kids while I clean up the house and try not to lose my breakfast. We got off to school and the drop off was fine. Zadie ate well, is in good spirits, no fever, and was totally fine.
By the numbers:
5 people in the house
4 poops (in the house)
3 full-fledged tantrums
2 dogs
and 1 barf episode

Blah Blah Poopy
That is the new phrase that is sweeping the household. Zack was playing around with those toy cell phones that you can record a bit of your voice on. The last thing he recorded sounded like he said "Blah Blah Poopy", so then the girls played with the toy and when they pressed the button for the replay of the recorded bit, they heard it over and over. So now Zoe's been grabbing other phones and instead of saying "Hello" in her cute voice, she now says "Blah blah poopy!"

Zoe goes
potty! At 21 months, Zoe has peed in the potty! a full year before Zack had done it. It was quite amusing how it happened too. We still haven't unpacked from our move, and the kids potty was up on a shelf, visible from the dinner table. Zadie saw it and started pointing at it and saying "potty! potty!" so we got it down and allowed her to sit on it, first with pants on, then without. Nothing happened, except for Zoe taking interest in what was going on. So Zoe came over to have her turn at sitting on the potty. We took her diaper off, and she was happy sitting on it for 20-30 seconds at a time and standing up and looking in. She repeated this a few times until we saw that she had peed! It was very shocking for us since we didn't expect interest from the girls this early, but it doesn't surprise us since they, especially Zoe, are very aware of what they do in their diaper and when. Hopefully we won't even need to buy size 5 diapers at this rate.....

Picture Day Drama
Today is picture day at school, and after struggling with a 20 month old Zoe who suddenly decided she had fashion opinions, I had to get Zack changed into a more appropriate shirt since he dressed himself. He asked me to help him put on his white shoes which he rarely wears, which I did, curiously. Then I said I was going to put on striped colored shirt on him, and he threw a fit saying he didn't want to wear that shirt, he wanted to keep on the tshirt he was wearing. I couldn't understand his strong reaction until he said that his current shirt has white on it, and the shirt I was giving him didn't have any white.
"Why do you need white on your shirt, Zack?"
"Because it is pitcture day and they are taking black and white pictures." he replied.

Ahh, fudgcicle!
From our friend Harry, who took the pics:
Zack has just dropped his fudgicle and the magnitude of the disaster hasn't quite dawned on him yet.
The waterworks are flowing now while the stunned crowd looks on. Zack got over it very well. Mackenzie shared her colonel crunch with him. Then we rinsed off Zack's so he made out like a bandit.

Leave it to the Beaver?
There is a new mystery scapegoat in Zack's life. It is The Beaver. No one knows where this beaver came from or how he started getting the idea that The Beaver is responsible for misdoings, but one thing is clear: The Beaver is bad. His teachers have no idea where he got this, we have no idea, however among his friends at school, references to The Beaver are sometimes overheard.
Two nights ago Zack got up to go potty around 10pm, I left him alone in the bathroom and then checked up on him since he was taking a while. There was toilet paper all over the floor. I asked Zack what happened and Zack said "The Beaver came in and did this. The Beaver is bad."
Last night while brushing his teeth Zack spilled a cup of water and then told me "The Beaver has a machine that bumps my hand and makes me spill water" It took all my strength not to laugh at all this while I'm trying to understand more about this elusive naughty Beaver.
I'm sure there will be more episodes...

Zoe helps clean up lunch
After lunch one of Zoe's teachers was cleaning the table and sweeping the floor. After reading books for a while Zoe came over, picked up a plate gave it to her. Next, she picked up an apple. The teacher said said “Throw it away in the trash.” She did and then picked up the spoons and cups from the table and tried to also throw them in the trash can. After the table was cleared she washed the table with water, helped sweep and pushed the cart out of the room.

The effects of sugar
Zack insisted that we make 'chocolate hearts' so Andy went and bought a heart cake mix for kids that we baked and decorated. Of course, Zack had also eaten as much of his Valentine's Day candy as he could get away with, licked a bit of the cake batter and tasted the decorations. So suddenly, Zack says (after eating his piece of his heart cake):
"Mommy, I want to run around the block."
So at 8:30pm last night, if you were in Redwood City, you might have seen Andy, Zack and Tobey running down the sidewalk.

The best Christmas presents
are sometimes the simplest. The biggest hits for the girls on Xmas day? A large cardboard box that was used for another gift, a can of 3 tennis balls, and those cards that play music when you open them. We could have pleased these 16 month olds beyond their expectations on a $10 budget.

How to get better
Zack explained to me tonight why he is now feeling better after being sick all through the night last night. The only thing I could give him this morning was ice chips, which he enjoyed.
"The ice made me get better. The ice was cold. My throwups shivered, and then my throwups died. And then there were no more throwups and I was all better."

15 Month Update
Just back from the doctor for the girl's 15 month checkup. Here are the stats:
Zoe (tall and skinny)
Length: 32" 90th percentile (30.5" @ 12 mo)
Weight: 20-14 25th percentile (19-7 @ 12 mo)
Zadie (not as tall and skinny)
Length: 30.5" 50th percentile (29" @ 12 mo)
Weight: 20-2 15th percentile (18-10 @ 12 mo)
Zoe is a monkey and climbs on everything. She can pull herself up on things that surprise us. We need to get her a play structure. Zadie is the social greeter, but also the accident prone one who suffers from her adventures by always having some sort of bruise, usually on her head. Zack likes to play with both, but usually Zadie is the one that laughs more at his antics, so he tends to try and entertain Zadie more.
Both girls are babbling and saying some words. They both say and understand roughly the same amount. When we ask "Where's ____?" they turn their head to the right person. They are using some basic baby signs, but still just the "more" "milk" "all done" "eat" ones. They have different favorite vowels when upset that allow us to figure our who is crying. Zoe just cries with a short-A sound "ayh" as in "Andy", Zadie will cry with a long-E sound "EEE". They both are excited when we hear the short-O "oooooo"
They are a fan of making animal noises like Zack was at this age. They can start to say "woo woo" when they see dogs, "meeyaa" when they see cats, "baaaa" for sheep, "Kak Kak Kak" for duck quacking.
Zadie can pronounce "Duck" and "Daddy" very very well, and sometime calls both mom and dad "Daddy". She will say Zack's name when she see him by saying "Dack" and interestingly when trying to say "cat" she says the consonants backwards like "tak". We've heard them put together two words before like "Hi Daddy"
Zoe eats very well, Zadie doesn't eat as much. They eat what we eat and both are very good with a spoon (Zoe is very meticulous!) Both sleep very well from 7pm to 7am, and Zadie occasionally wakes up at 10pm and cries for a few min and goes back to sleep. They have 1 nap starting around noon, Zoe sleeps for 1.5 hours, and Zadie can sleep up to 3 hours. Zoe doesn't seem to need as much sleep.
They are starting to play with each other and giggle a lot, they haven't ganged up on us yet, but I feel they are plotting something.

Sneaky Zack
At some point in the late afternoon while the whole family was playing around the house, Zack came up to us and said, "Guys, don't come in the family room. It's a surprise." So we all kept to other parts of the house, but were reminded by Zack a few more times. I was curious as to what he was up to, but he sounded excited. Well, at some point we needed to come into the kitchen which was near the family room, and discovered what he was up to. Zack had found his bag of Halloween candy (which we had put out of reach so we could ration out candy to him) and was just sorting it and eating in the family room! I guess that was a surprise alright.
Upon feeling he needed to explain things further, Zack held up a small bag of M&Ms and said "I was feeling a little sick, but these M&Ms will make me feel better"

Evil pumpkin man

While the twins napped, Jen and I and Zack created our "Property Defender" pumpkin. I don't think the girls wanted to come out and see it. See them standing in the doorway?
