Leo rolling over

Tonight we placed the boys on the play mat for some tummy time and Leo started rolling over from his tummy to his back. He must have liked it because he did it five or six times in a row, much to our delight.

Topic:

Ran last night. Weather was good -- not too hot yet.

Saw two red cardinals.

100 days

Leo and Adrian will be 100 days old tomorrow! As I'm writing this they are sitting in their bouncy chairs, smiling at me. They will nap soon.

The 100-day milestone is pretty much the last one in the Excel sheet that I put together when they were just born. It's amazing how quickly they grow.

Here are a few pictures.

Interaction

The boys now really enjoy it when someone plays with them. They smile and they coo and it's a lot of fun to interact with them. Nora feels that too. In the beginning she needed some encouragement to talk to them, but yesterday over dinner when Leo was on my lap and I was talking with Sasha, I noticed that Nora was talking to Leo.

Earlier, when I was holding Adrian to practice sitting up, the boys were facing each other and they started cooing to each other. They definitely notice each other now, which is very cute.

Bunnies in the backyard

We have six cute bunnies in the backyard. The proud mother made a nest behind the A/C unit and they're hanging out in our yard.

Fairly cold

Yesterday it was a pretty cold day. I even wore my winter t-shirt. That was a little too much. Nice run though.

Run in Santa Clara

We stayed in a new hotel, in Santa Clara this time. Not sure I want to do that again -- it was quite far to the office -- but there was a nice trail nearby (San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail) that led to the baylands.

Three months old

The guys are now three months old, so we've made it through the hectic first quarter of life with them.

The boys are getting more adorable by the day. They smile, they coo and they follow us intently with their eyes, especially Sasha.

They are sleeping better and better, and recently going to bed is getting easier also, which is great for everybody. Almost exactly three months ago I wrote: I woke up at 5.00 am but told myself this would be the last full night in a loooong time so I went back to sleep. That was true, especially the first six weeks or so. Thankfully we now get pretty good nights of sleep. Not every night yet, but they often go to bed around 11.00 am wake up between 6.00 am and 7.00 am which is excellent.

Vrachtwagendag 2015

We went to the library's truckday yesterday morning, or vrachtwagendag in Dutch.

Nora was still a little tired from her cold but she enjoyed seeing the trucks from the safety of my arms. The boys slept well.

Once at home Nora retreated to her blocks and toys to spend some time by herself. Then she told us she liked it -- especially seeing the garbage truck.

First colds

The boys had their first cold. Nora's cold started on Saturday night, and though we tried to keep her and the boys apart, they started coughing a few days later. They had some fever also, but thankfully the symptoms were pretty mild.

The kids have now recovered, and Sasha and I had a light version of the cold but it's getting better also.
