We have areas of our house "gated off" for safety. The babies can't get into our bedroom (apparantley Alex's food bowl is too much to resist), the kitchen, or down the hallway to their rooms. This way they have the whole living, dining, and foyer (and 1/2 of the hall) where they can play and be safe. At nap/bedtimes we will take down the gate in the hallway and yell to the babies "Gate's Open!" and here they come!! They just stop playing with their toys and take off walking to their bedroom. It is hilarious!! You can also say "Time to Eat!" and they all go stand by their highchairs. I need to get it on video to upload.
We have been working on sign language with the babies. Adam can definitely sign "All Done" when he is finished eating. Avery has signed "More" before, but does not do it often. I know more and more signs will come to them as we continue to work on it. They can all sign "Bonked his head.." for 5 Little Monkeys! (Is that really sign language??)
Here are some snapshots for you to enjoy! As you can tell, Aaron likes to climb--that is him in the window and on the dishwasher. Adam in his diaper and socks--too cute! And happy after breakfast. Avery with BAD hair (you have to look carefully, it looks like she stuck her finger in a light socket), and playing with their marraccas. (I don't think that is how you spell it!)

It is so funny and amazing to read your blog and see how parallel both sets of babies are. We do the bonk bonk thing too and the gate as well. How are you liking the walking? What a change huh? We thought they were getting into everything when they were crawling but little did we know they really weren't.
