We bought her these pink flip flops to wear around the pool this summer.
She can't stop staring at them...
...or touching them...
...or showing them to Mommy.
I guess Clara and I may have a few things in common after all! :)

Making Cookies
George and Clara made their first Easter cookies this past week. They were big helpers putting the cookies on the baking sheet. They were extremely interested in watching the cookies bake. Every few minutes they wanted me to pick them up to look in the oven. And of course they enjoyed eating them too! Next up...conquering cookies from scratch!!

17 Months!
Communication: George added the words truck, down, duck, and quack quack to his vocabulary. Whenever he sees a clock in a book now, he imitates the sound of the clock at Grandma and Grandpa Hadjioannou's house..."dong, dong, dong." George also says "Vroomvroom" when he plays with or sees a car.
On the Go: George can walk down the stairs like a big boy holding Mommy's hand or the spindles. He is very cautious which makes Mommy happy! George is still a climber. He tries to climb an anything and everything!
Number of Chompers: 12 - with a lot of fussing and cranky days all four first molars are in! Woohoo Georgie!
On the Go: Clara is getting better at walking up and down stairs like a big girl. She is also getting better at running. She is a bit clumsy but I am sure there is a graceful ballerina in there somewhere. :)
Number of Chompers: 8 - with one first year molar which I think she handled better then George!
Mommy's Favorite Moments of the Month:
-Daddy was excited that George said truck. Daddy turned to George and said, "Give me 5!" With a huge smile on his face George gave himself five. Silly guy!
-Clara often wakes up from her nap before her brother. I swear it is so she can have one on one Mommy time. After nap recently I told her we had to be quiet because George was sleeping. We tiptoed past his room. Spoke in low voices. Played with quiet toys. Until an hour had passed and apparently she was done with Mommy time. She ran right up to his door, slammed both hands on it, and screeched. George woke up immediately but was not impressed with his nap interference.
-Clara's hair frequently falls into her eyes. When she and George are playing together, he will reach over and brush it out of her face. So so cute! Clara is already getting him ready for his future wife!

CLARA
Communication: Clara added the words truck, duck, quack quack, whoa, and wow to her vocabulary. When she hears a plane whether she is inside or out she stops, waves her hand slowly across the sky, and says, "Voooom." She also says, "Vroom vroom" when she sees or hears a car drive by.

KAMOM Easter Party
Today we went to the Kingwood Area Mothers of Multiples (KAMOM) Easter Family Party. It was so awesome to be around so many families with multiples. Most of the kiddos were twins but a very brave family ventured out with their quintuplets! Yep five 8 month old babies. Such an amazing miracle to see! While at the Easter party the kiddos played on the play ground, ate lots of pizza, participated in an Easter egg hunt, and met the Easter bunny! We had a blast!
Now where are those Easter Eggs?
Found one!
Georgie found some too!
Who cares about the eggs! I want to play!!
Enjoying the little kiddie playground.
Here comes the Easter Bunny!!
Clara waiting to meet the bunny.
George was unsure of the Easter Bunny. What a shocker!
Happy Easter from the Hadjioannou Family!!!
Fun, Sun, and Family!
George helped Daddy hang some decorations in Clara's room.
Good measuring buddy.
We went to Tye's first birthday party and left with a few of the twins' favorite things...balloons!
We love balloons!
It was really warm outside so we brought out the pirate ship water table.
The Inspector!
Pretty girl!
Having so much fun...soaking wet!
Mommy's little boy.
Then we discovered the hose.
Gotcha Clara!
Fun fun fun!

Play date!
Since moving I joined a Mom's of Multiples group. We have meetings, playdates, dinners, and family get togethers every month. Today we went to our first play date with two other sets of twins at Kids in Action. George and Clara climbed, swung, slid, danced, and laughed. They loved all the activity and new people. This is one of the many reasons I love being a stay at home Mom. I get to do fun things like this with my two sweet monkeys! Here are a few pics of the day.
George really wanted to climb the rock wall.
Basketball time!
Slam dunk!
Clara loved these big balloons.
Get it girl!
To end the play date they turned on the bubble machine.
The kiddos were in heaven!
Catching bubbles!
