Eighteen months is my favorite age. By far. The twins are learning so much, so fast. It's hard to keep up!
We have spent the past couple of months moving, which has been intense with two toddlers and a preschooler in the house. BUT we love our new house, and we have more room to play.
Packing up everything in our old house was challenging. Deciding when to pack all their toys seemed to give me the greatest anxiety. Because then, it was real. We really were leaving our home where Barrett lived since he was just a few months old. We were leaving the house where the twins came home from the hospital. We were leaving our house where all of our children learned to walk, play, had dance parties before nap time. However, the twins loved packing. Because they loved all the boxes we had scattered throughout the house.
Hours of Entertainment
During our moving chaos, we went to brother's swim lessons, visited Gamma and Poppy, and stayed with Nana and Papa for a while. And we also had LOTS of cousin time :)

And then this happened. Gamma tried to get Jordan and Barrett to put their feet in the pool. Barrett wasn't having it. This kid was determined to go swimming. Instead of waiting for someone to get his swimsuit, he just stripped and jumped right in. Notice my mom's face ... It needed to be documented.
