Two Babies Walking

Two Babies Walking? This changes everything. No not really, they are faster crawling still thankfully. For now anyway.

Raine walking

Yeah! Raine is a walking little boy. I am so excited for him. He loves to walk, he giggles everytime he walks. The boys are now able to team up and go seperate ways making it harder for Mommy and Daddy to reel them in. Did someone say leashes? Just kidding, I think.

Happy 1st Birthday to the Twins

Happy 1st Birthday to our wonderful boys. I can't believe Raine and Mika are one year old now. We had such a great day, the boys stayed busy swimming in their pool twice and playing with their guests. Grandma and Cousin Ian came all the way form San Diego, California. Miss Maria was a huge help in celebrating the boys birthday. We were so excited to have her, Melissa and Sebastian over. Grandpa enjoyed the day with us as well. After all the festivities were over Grandpa left to go back to San Diego, he has been with us in North Carolina since February. We will really miss him. Thank you so much everyone for making this the best birthday ever.

Raine giving kisses!

What a lovable boy Raine is. He wanted to give everyone kisses.

The boys sharing breakfast

Well, I guess teaching our boys to share will not be too much trouble, with food anyway.

Raine Standing...next walking!

Raine being the cautious boy he is has taken to standing. He seems to want to walk and loves walking when Momma and Papa hold his hands. It seems his fear for falling on his fanny has overcome his want to walk on his own. Mika on the other hand... well the video says it all.

Just another day at the Dulcich house...

Just another day in the Dulcich house... Mika is so excited to be walking. Raine says "Go Chargers". Papa is cleaning those messy, messy boys. Raine is coming out to play. and Momma and Mika are happy to spend the afternoon together.

Mika walks everywhere now!

Our Mika man is all about walking now! He walks everywhere, It is so cute, his sideways step. The question is, is this controlled falling or is it walking. Only time will tell. And by the way,Holy Cr**! I have been mugged.

Mika walking with his firetruck!

Mika loves walking with his firetruck! He has taken many steps on his own; however, he just doesn't have the confidence yet. Every day we are close to a child who walks on two not on all four.

The Fire Truck

The boys went crazy over their new Fire Truck. Thank you Grandpa, we love our new truck. Raine is the one crawling to see what Mika is up to.

4th of July

Another first, The 4th of July, we all had a nice time at a BBQ. Raine (in green), Mika (in red), Grandpa, Daddy, and Mommy ate burgers and drank beer. Just kidding, the boys ate their typical sweet potatoes, bananas, and whole grain bread. The boys got to play with a lot of babies their age and we got to talk to adults (that's a new concept). No fireworks for us this year, just a bit late for the boys to stay up. Next year we will try for fireworks.

Mika snoring

For those who didn't believe a baby could snore as loud as a lion, here's my proof! The Mika Man at his best.

Two of my favorite boys in the whole wide world! There's nothing like a little Papa and Raine Love.

An Amazing Visit With Auntie Brigit!

We had such a nice visit with Auntie Brigit. The boys really took to her fast. I'm not sure who had more fun Brig or the boys. Maybe it was me seeing someone love all over my boys as much as we do. We all went swimming which is always a blast with the boys. We can't wait to see her again it was really hard letting her go, that's right we LET her go, she may not be as lucky next time!

Mika TPing the Bathroom

Mika Man is always up to something! This kid will learn to clean up his mess sooner than later, that's for certain. Gotta love his spunk!

Splashing in the pool!

The boys are 9 1/2 months now and love to swim. Mika gets in and immediately he is trying to swimming like crazy. Raine takes a little longer to really get into it, he takes time to figure it all out before he begins to splash around. I think the older they get Mika's impulsiveness will stop my heart a few times. We have made it a routine when Momma and Papa are off together to wake up, have breakfast, walk to the pool and go for a swim. One more amazing benefit to living in this great community.

Lots of Cuteness!

Who knew so much cuteness could be under one roof? We had a nice visit with Raine and Mika's friends today. Melissa and Maria brought over Melissa's sister Hannah and her son Ethan. Hannah and Ethan live in our community. What luck that is. We are so excited to see all these kids grow together.

Our New Home!

Here we are in our new home! We are all so very happy, a place of our own on this big earth. The boys are now in their own room, this makes sleeping through the night less of a challenge. We have had more good nights than bad lately. The boys are on a feeding/eating schedule which is helping them sleep throught out the night most of the time. Sleep depervation was becoming the norm around here, glad that is changing. Woohoo to seperate rooms! Just realized we have no pictures of the inside of the house yet, we will post some in the next few days. Seems we are spending lots of time in the backyard, our favorite place. 

May is here!

These are the last pictures from this house. We are proud owners of a new home in Apex, NC. Our next set of pictures will be of our new house. As you can see the boys are doing great. They are getting so big; Mika is holding his own bottle now and Raine is sitting up just like his Mommy.

Day at Jordan Lake, 8 Months old

We had a nice day at the beach (Jordan Lake). The boys were confused about how to use the tube. "Water, we don't need water." Mika thought it was food, as usual for him. You would think the lake would have tired the boys out, but not a chance. As soon as we got home the boys cried to have "The Tube" back. What big boys!
