{"put em up, put em up"}

We have all seen the Wizard of Oz, right?  When M was a little boy, it was his favorite movie, probably still is.  He's got a thing for the Cowardly Lion and apparently, the babies do too :)

I just love baby giggles and daddy seems to get the best ones out of them!

And now for the snow.  I didn't get a whole lot of good "snowing" pics, so here is some of the aftermath taken down by my office.

This was after most of them melt, but my poor pumpkins got a nice little snow mask just in time for Halloween!

This is over in Lowry.  This was a gorgeous snow.  It rained first, so it was fluffy and it just clung to everything like a dream.  It looked fake, it was so pretty :)  

A view of downtown Denver with WHITE mountains in the distance.  All of us get a little excited when the mountains turn back to white.  Don't worry, we also get a little excited when they turn back to purple in the summer :)

More white peaks, who's excited for CHRISTMAS?!?

Annnnnnnd, they're asleep.  Yes they sleep with me, get over it.

I know, right?  Cutest thing ever!

Thank goodness for double sinks!

My babies are the best :)

Fancy GIGGLES!  We were playing with them on the play mat tonight and I had my hair in a pony tail.  I dipped my hair in her face and she stinking giggled!  I can't believe my sweet girl can giggle, one of the best moments in parenthood :)  I can't wait til Coach joins in.  He's got the most beautiful smile...well one of the two, and he'll make an absolutely precious giggle too.

I do have a video of the first (or second) giggle, but I need to pull it off my camera and I just didn't have time this evening.  I promise to get it up this weekend.  Remind me!

They're really "talking" these days too.  Holy cow its cute!  They understand "I love you" and "beautiful baby".  I get the biggest grins from those two phrases.  They also know their names...and all their billions of nicknames.  How they managed to follow all their nicknames, I'm not sure.

I seems Coach has developed eczema.  He's got some mild spots on his poor chest.  They seem to get better with lotion though.  I called the nurses line at my pediatrician today and she said just to watch it and if he develops a fever, stops eating, it spreads, etc to come in.  Hopefully it doesn't do any of the afore mentioned. I hate baby ailments with a bloody passion.  I never get a moments peace from worry.  I guess that comes with the territory though, right?

I think I mentioned that my OB was testing my thyroid for a cause to this wacky post partum crap.  I got the results today-NORMAL.  No call, just a message on my medical portal online (have you heard of these?  I love it!).  Pap is normal too.  Whew!  After pregnancy, childbirth (vaginal or section), paps tend to pop abnormal.  Safe for another year...I hope anyway!  Initially my delivering OB thought I might have a tiny piece of retained placenta.  That hasn't been ruled out yet, but I saw one of her partners for my annual and she doesn't think that's the case.  She did say if my strange spotting persists I need to have an ultrasound to check for the cause.  Fun.

I had a big long controversial post written out about all my parenting beliefs and how they don't line up with modern thinking (scheduled c-section, circumcision, vaxing, babywise, etc), but I'll save that for another day.  I'm not in the mood to blog fight with "anonymous" commenters tonight :)

Have a GREAT weekend!
