Komarnicki Kids

We just got back today from a trip to my parents house. We spent 5 days there, and had lots of family time. The babies got to spend time with their Grandma, Grandpa, Great-Grandma, Uncle and Cousins! They loved it because they were pretty much being held the whole time. While we were there, they got to go swimming twice and they really seem to love the water, and didn't seem to be bothered by the heat at all. They also both discovered something new while we were gone. Addison discovered her toes, and wants to show them off to anyone who will look! Fischer discovered that he can "talk" really loud when he wants to. He's always been a loud crier, but he figured out that he can be just as loud with his other noises. It was pretty funny to watch!

They did pretty good on the car rides. It's a 5 hour drive, so we had to feed them along the way. On the way there we stopped at a McDonald's and let them roll around on a grassy area (on blankets, of course) before they had their bottles. On the way home today we stopped at a rest area so they could do the same thing. That seemed to work out very well. They both had some minor outbursts in the car, but nothing we couldn't handle! They just get tired of being strapped in, and who can blame them?!

When we got home today they got to try a new fruit! Prunes!! They both really seemed to like them, so they will have them again tomorrow and Thursday to make sure they don't react to them. Then they will get to try peaches. The oatmeal/veggie mixture at night is still working pretty well. While we were gone Addison woke up more than she had been, so it's hard to know if it was because she was somewhere different or if that's what she'll keep doing. I guess we'll find out tonight! She wakes up at 5 or 5:30 consistently though, but we can usually get her to go back to sleep until at least 7, usually 8.

That's about all from here. We are back to the real world now with just two sets of hands to do everything. It sure is nice having so many extra people around. :) I will post pictures soon!
