We had a great day yesterday. We went to the zoo with the girls. It was "Multiples Day" at Southwick's Zoo. They liked seeing all of the animals and were equally as impressed by the ball in the baboon's enclosure and the waterfall in the tiger's enclosure. They wanted to walk a lot of the time which made for a slow move through the zoo, but it was adorable. We met up with some of the other moms of multiples that I know from being in my twins group. The girls were very excited about all of the babies! O learned the word "alligator" last week and it is my new favorite cute thing that she says. So we went to see the alligators, but they were camouflaged in the water. Oh well.

Last weekend we made our first trip of the season to the beach. They really didn't care for the sand, but we had a good time anyway. They looked adorable! (Thanks to Auntie Heather for the super cute headbands).

The girls have been biters for awhile now. Whenever one has something the other wants, she bites her sister. They have been better lately, but today, while Daddy was cutting up the chicken, J decided that she wanted the car that O had. So she bit her face. Poor O has a huge bite mark on her face. I would feel really badly for her, except I know that she has given her sister quite a few nasty bites herself.
They are really into reading right now. They love any books with touch and feel kind of thing. They walk over saying "Book? Book?" and holding out the book for you to take. Then its "up!". And once one is on your lap, the other one comes toddling over "up! up!". It seems that the simplest books (like the ones with 5 pages and 5words) can be read over and over and OVER, while the more interesting books with lots of words just won't do, and get tossed to the floor after a page or two.
They are loving the pool. Memere and Pepere have a blow up giraffe (named Nathaniel) that floats around in the pool. They love to point at it and say "Giafe", but when it comes within touching distance, they lose their tough exterior, clinging and shaking their heads "NO!".
Walking and talking a ton (although not always in a language that I understand). They are so funny and so much fun. Tomorrow (0r today rather, as it is 1:30am) we are going to Southwick's Zoo for the first time. It is Multiples Day, 1/2price for families with mulitples, so it should be interesting!
