Twinfest!

Today the boys had their first official playgroup! We've had friends with kids over before, but that was when they were smaller, and there really wasn't much "playing" going on. Now, at six months, they can roll over, reach for toys and coo at each other, so I figured it was time to get the gang together and see what happened.

Joining us were two other sets of twin boys, all around the six month mark: Jennifer, and her identical twin boys James and Sirius, and Cathi, and her fraternal boys Seth and AJ! It was a whirlwind of twin-tastic fun, as we all raced around to entertain, feed, and soothe six babies!

Favorite games included rolling into (and over) one another, grabbing each other's toys, and making loud noises to startle one another! Of course, halfway through the playdate, exciting hosts that they are, my boys decided to fall fast asleep, right in the middle of all the action!

After a couple hours, everyone got hungry and tired, so we had to call it a day. Unfortunately, we waited until the end to take pictures, so everyone (especially Noah, who didn't understand the importance of waking up to document the occasion) was a little cranky in the photo. But I got reports that all babies (including mine) slept well after our adventure (see photo of Noah passed out in his swing).

All in all, a great time, and I can't wait for more to come. I am, however, incredibly grateful that I don't have sextuplets!
