Definition of a heart attack

Main Entry: heart attack
Function: noun
Date: 1928
: an acute episode of heart disease marked by the death or damage of heart muscle due to insufficient blood supply to the heart usually as a result of a coronary thrombosis or a coronary occlusion and that is characterized especially by chest pain —called also myocardial infarction

I'd like to revise this definition to add that the episode can also be the result of your one year old leaning over and flipping out of the crib in front of your very eyes. Yes, I was standing at Holden's crib this afternoon, and looked over just as Branson was leaning way over and suddenly fell out of his crib on to the floor. He was okay, but it gave me a @$%! heart attack.

*this weekend we will be putting his mattress on the floor inside of his crib

Happy Independence Day Weekend (early)!

Hope you all enjoy the holiday weekend. Hopefully, Branson and Holden will get to see some fireworks and not be afraid. Stay safe! Happy 4th of July!

There is an APB out for the cordless phone...

err, scratch that... we found it. Two days later and in the diaper pail!!! Gross!!! I'm not sure which little munchkin did it, but my money is on Branson. Both Branson and Holden love to play with the phone, but Branson is obsessed with it. Just wanted to share the latest and most interesting with you. hahahahaha

Two Little Rotten Eggs!

These boys have started to climb on everything. I thought the playroom was "babyproofed" and what I've now come to realize is that unless it's a padded cell.... nothing can be really, truly babyproofed.
They are keeping me on my toes and still cracking me up everyday. Both boys are now walking. They have very different and funny personalities and come up with different things to make me laugh. The latest thing Branson does when he is being shy or wants you to go away is to close his eyes. He'll look right at you and then just close his eyes, trying to 'blink' you away I guess?! It is so funny to see him do it. Holden got busted the other day, climbing up on his activity table and when I told him to get down, he just stood up on it and smiled; he was so proud. They are so rotten! They are so cute when they are being so bad... sometimes I have to cover my mouth with my t-shirt so they can't see me smiling when I tell them "no no".

It Is Hot!

It has been so hot lately that we have not been able to play outside much. However, we did manage to make it down to Charleston for a night to visit with GramBee and the boys had so much fun visiting, playing and cooling off in her pool! Branson is officially walking now, he is taking more than just a handful of steps and likes to walk more than crawl now. I think he is trying to keep up with Holden who is now running or "fast walking" most of the time! The boys play really well together; and we have had fewer little toy fights and biting lately so that is good. They are eating all kinds of real food now and Ashley and I have all kinds of fun surprises when we change diapers now. p-u! Both boys are little mimics and are easily entertained. Holden likes to look upside down sometimes and here he is showing off for his cousin Spencer. He likes to do Yoga poses and here is one with his head on the floor. They are doing great and just growing so much so fast.

Back Home and needing a fix

Well... we went one whole day without swimming. These water babies needed a fix! So today Branson and Holden got in their new baby pool in the back yard and had a blast. Once they figure out how to use the hose I'm in big trouble!
