$1.00 ELMO DOLLS!!!

I got these Elmo dolls for $1.00.  Seriously!  I love getting good deals, and always check Twitter daily to find what's happening, where the deals are, etc etc...  


Well, one morning, there was a deal from a Groupon clone, DealPulp, where you could get $15.00 credit (or something like that) with free shipping for just $1.00.  I was hesitant and thought it was too good to be true, especially since I could only spend it on one particular website which I've never heard of.  After doing research, I quickly jumped on it and whipped my credit card out!  To this day, I regret not creating more email accounts and purchasing more of that deal...  :(

Well, here are my three Elmo dolls!  Plus, I got an elmo guitar and DVD.  I decided to wash the dolls once and read that you should NEVER put plush toys in the washer machine.  People said you can maybe get by putting small toys in the machine, but good luck with large ones because they will for sure never look the same.  Well, I don't know what toys they washed, but I just threw all three of them in the washer, on high speed, hot water, heavy duty hot air drying... pretty much the worst washing situation you could put these guys in.  After I took them out, they still looked the same!!





Max fell asleep next to the Elmo dolls.  I wonder how long it will be before he is bigger than the Elmo doll.



Here's Max again with small Elmo.

I did recently find out that TV is the worst thing for a baby under 2 years old.  Eeek!  It causes aggression, ADHD, and all sorts of other things later in their life.  Plus, they did a study and found out that babies who watched TV knew 10 less words by age 10 than those who didn't watch TV as a baby.  So, we don't let them watch anymore.  This time below was just an exception since I was doing laundry and couldn't hold Leo (which makes him stop crying).  I hope we don't end up having really angry kids later in life.

SQUAWKING BABIES, PASSED OUT BABIES

The twins are officially going through a growth spurt.  They are now 4 1/2 months!  It's amazing how their milk intake can double so quickly.  Max has finally hit the 13 pounds mark and Leo is just slightly under by a few ounces.  They're still sucking their fingers ...24/7.  Even when we feed them the bottle, they manage to find a way to stick a finger in the side of their mouth and suck it at the same time.  That usually slows the feeding process down by at least a few minutes.  


Here's Leo in the swing sucking like crazy on his one finger.  He's a finger sucker, not a thumb sucker.

Their feet and hands are getting so big.  I had to take a picture of them so I don't forget that they were once this size.  They always look like little angels once they fall asleep

The twins have been crying and squawking and yelling like crazy since this past weekend.  I heard around four months babies start becoming more aware of their vocal chords and like to play around with them, especially when they figure out that it gets your attention a lot quicker!!  

My husband and I definitely agree that it's AT LEAST 10 TIMES worse than just crying.  It's a piercing yelling noise that's so sharp.  Sometimes I think that they just like to make that noise... 

Also, they're teething, which has resulted in double the amount of drool all day.  Feeding them has become a serious procedure since they are crying a lot more now.  But it's reassuring to always read from other moms that it will pass, even though it may seem like forever.  

Well, now they cry and have become 50 times more active, they pass out right by the time we actually manage to feed them.  Unfortunately, their naps only last 20 minutes.  Here's Leo... passed out and snoring halfway through the feeding.  Whenever I see them like this, it makes all the crying and stress-inflicted events totally worth it.  :)
