Growing up with a little of both and the lessons learned along the way

We didn't really get you anything, but we promise to try to coordinate our naps today...
Sunday was Megan’s birthday so with mommy’s help, Hannah and I threw her a little party yesterday. Mommy made the cookies and Hannah and I were the cute babies in party hats!
I tried to explain to Hannah that you only get to cry when its YOUR party (and even then only if you want to), but she didn't really get it...

Since I’m older than Hannah (exactly one month to the day), I sometimes help Megan out by reading to her. Don’t tell Hannah, but I totally make up the stories as I go along. I mean, yes, I’m older, but I’m still only 7.5 months old. I can’t read silly!
Okay Hannah, pay attention over here and I'll tell you a story...
Maile: See Hannah, that's a monkey and he's riding a yellow umbrella. Hannah: Why? Maile: How should I know? I can't read...

Will you be my valentine?
Today I celebrated my very first Valentine’s Day! The celebration actually started on Friday. Megan (our nanny) brought Hannah and I our very first Valentine’s Day gifts. She also helped us make gifts for mommy and daddy – how cool is that?!
Megan gave Hannah and I really cute Valentine's Day teddy bears! I love mine - its so soft and yummy!
This is me just double-checking that Hannah's bear is the exact same as mine - hey, a girl has to be sure!
Before mommy and daddy went to work, I gave them the gift that Megan and I made them. Its a picture of me of course, but with a home-made frame! We worked all week on it, I couldn't have done it without Megan (mostly because I don't quite know how a scissors works yet!)
All in all, we had a wonderful Valentine’s Day weekend – I’ll write more about it in another post. I hope all of you had a nice Valentine’s Day as well!
Happy Valentine's Day from Maile girl to all of you!

In addition to daddy’s birthday, Sunday was also Super Bowl Sunday. Since football is the only thing I’m allowed to watch on TV at this point, I was very excited for the big game. (Dad note: it’s true, we don’t Maile watch TV quite yet, but we turn a blind eye if a football game happens to be on…)
Even better than being able to watch TV, our friends Randall and Shalyn threw a big Super Bowl party and I got to see my good friends, Hannah, Allison and Wills! We were so busy playing with each other that we barely watched the game – but I was very happy with the outcome. And even cooler, Uncle Alex organized a Super Bowl prop contest. I asked daddy to help me fill out my entry and guess what? I won! $55 right into the piggy bank. Daddy says I’m a natural – I could tell he was quite proud of me. Woo hoo!
Wills brought over some footballs so we could get in the mood for the big game - I quickly grabbed all of them. I've been doing that lately btw - I pile up all the toys in front of me. Mommy and daddy say they are going to "work with me" on this tendency. I'm not sure if that means that will teach me new ways to steal the toys or make me share more - I hope its the former!
Wills started to get fresh again by trying to plant a kiss on me. I'm a little blurry in this picture because I'm employing some get away moves that daddy taught me.
Hannah (L), Allison (R) and me playing together. Hannah and I see each other every day, but it was great fun to play with Allison again - she can even crawl! How cool is that?
Congrats to the Saints on winning the Super Bowl - and me, of course, on winning the Super Bowl Prop contest!

Doesn't it look like Hannah and I were up to no good when this picture was taken? I swear we weren't doing anything ... but I have a feeling that won't be the case in the future!

Remember when I got a Wills for Hanukkah? Well, guess what? Yesterday, for my half birthday, mommy and daddy got me a Hannah!
(Dad note: We’re working with Maile to explain that technically Hannah isn’t “hers” – Hannah is Maile’s friend and we are doing a nanny share. So 4 days a week, Hannah will be coming over to the house and Megan (our nanny) will be watching both girls.)
I’m pretty excited that I’ll be getting to spend more time with Hannah – she’s exactly one month younger than me (her birthday is August 11th). I have a feeling we are going to do all types of fun things together in the months ahead. It will be a little hard to share all my toys with her – but daddy says it will be a good lesson for me.

For the past month and a half, Maile and mommy have been having play dates with some friends about once a week. It’s a great chance for the mommies to hang out and talk shop – and the babies like to … well, they pretty much do what they would do anyways: play, eat, cry and sleep. Sleep should actually be first in that list because invariably at least one of the babies is always asleep when they are hanging out. That is until yesterday – a milestone if you will – all the babies were awake at the same time!
Maile, Wills and Hannah are all awake!
