It's been awhile..

I really fell off the whole blog thing. The past couple of months were hectic and busy - full of traveling, events, and visiting family. We drove to Michigan in April and pretty much stayed there for the month (at least, me and the kids did). We celebrated Miles' 3rd birthday there with a handful of little kiddie friends at a playplace. I was also a bridesmaid at one of my best friend's wedding on April 25th. It was a beautiful wedding and a really fun reception.

After driving back to Connecticut, we ended up flying to California the following weekend. Crazy, I know. We spent some time there with my family while Tim had to travel for work. Miles got to play and be with his cousins Lily and Ian - even slept in their room the whole time. It was like a really long slumber party - with the positives and negatives. Hah He had a great time there though and loved being with his "Best Bud" (his cousin Ian) The girls turned 7 months in California! =)

Me and the kids flew back to Connecticut with my parents. That was a very exhausting trip and I was so thankful to be off the airplane and back home. After getting home, a couple of days later, we had another birthday party for Miles with his little buddies in Connecticut. It was at another playplace. It was a lot of fun! Miles and the rest of the kids had a great time. My parents stayed with us for a couple more weeks. Miles had so much fun with my parents. He loved playing hide & seek with my dad. We even drove to New Jersey for a quick overnight stay to visit my grandma there.

And now.. summer is officially here. The weather is hotter and the days are brighter. I try to get out with the kids as much as I can. With the girls' naps, it tends to shorten the opportunities to go out out. Miles & I end up just going outside to the driveway to play random little games/activities - playing with chalk or squirting each other with water guns. During the weekends, we have gone to the really big Farmers Market, A West Hartford Festival, and a Strawberry Festival. Miles loves being able to play some games and win prizes/balloons.

Maya & Severa are growing and growing. They are now rolling around all over the living room! Severa is definitely more active right now - when she wants something, she will figure out a way to get there! Yesterday, we had a scare. I fed Severa and Maya baby yogurt for the first time, and with a couple of (baby) spoonfuls, Severa had a quick reaction to it. Her lips got very swollen. We went to the ER at the Children's Hospital. She got treated there with Benadryl, then Epi, then a steroid. We waited around for 2 more hours to make sure she was ok and then the doctored cleared her. She was pretty tired and out of it once we got home. But after a nice long nap, Severa was back to her active self. Thank God. She wasn't puffy or swollen or itchy anymore. The medicine also help clear out the redness and itchiness of her eczema too. She looks so refreshed now.

So, for summer time.. we plan on enjoying every bit of it! Maya & Severa are so interested in everything and everyone - so I love to introduce and show them the world =) I enrolled Miles into preschool (!!!!), so I want to enjoy this summer with my not-so-baby baby. <3 font="">

We celebrated Father's Day at the New England Air Museum. It was a fun time and Miles loved it. We treated Papa to a surprise massage afterward for all of his hard work! =)

Here are a couple of pictures at home with the kids. =)

Another Khoury Catch-Up!

Ok, having twins definitely made it harder to post on this blog! I find it so much easier to post on Facebook these days. Quicker, easier.. and my family in the Philippines looks at Facebook more than this blog. hah

But..anyway. I still want to keep up on this.

It's been awhile since I've written.. the whole month of January went by! Tim turned 30! He's officially old like me. But, they say 30 is the new 20 ;)

The girls are 4 months old now. I can't believe it! Most parents of twins/multiples say that the first 3 months is literally a blur. And I totally agree. It's just a continuous blur.. But the past couple of weeks have gotten better and better. 

Severa's colic seems to have subsided, which is such a relief! And now, I can honestly say, she's the happier of the two. She's full of smiles and giggles during the day. She loves to watch her Kuya Miles and his craziness =) Severa has also rolled over with a little help from Mama. She has rolled from her back to her tummy while holding my finger. So, soon enough, this little girl of mine will be rolling on her own. 

Maya is doing great. She's also a happy baby. But lately, and maybe Severa passed the torch on, she's been crying/screeching more than ever. She loves to be held ;) The moment I pick her up, she stops crying. heh Both girls have been doing great with their tummy times. They follow/watch Miles a lot, turn their heads when he's running all over the place.. They have also started to grab their hanging toys (on their carseat & playmat) Overall, they are both growing well =) At their 4 month check up, they weigh 14 lbs! =)

Miles is also doing well. He has grown up a lot. He's very helpful with the babies. He gets whatever I need for them and actually likes to do it, which is really helpful! He talks a great ton. My conversations with him are real conversations about all sorts of things. His memory astounds me! We can talk about anything from the past like it just happened. He's been learning more and more Arabic and Tagalog. He knows all of his letters (uppercase & lowercase), numbers, shapes. He has this computer toy that has pre-school/1st grade type games of letters and shapes, and he does really well in them. He genuinely loves to read and learn new things. Just recently, he's caught on very well on how to use my computer and has started to take pictures of himself (selfies!!) and pinning things on my Pinterest!!! Silly goose. He loves to talk about and look at pictures of family the most though. I love that he talks about all of his cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, even without seeing them in person all the time. It's been really sweet to watch him lately, now that the babies aren't constantly taking up my attention anymore.

Here is a little video of Miles from last week:


And some pictures of my little sweeties =)
