Did you know that sharks grow a new set of teeth about every two weeks?? And that the Great White Shark has teeth that retract like cat claws when the jaws are shut?? Oh, and rodents have teeth that are continuously growing, due to the fact that they wear them down knawing on stuff?? Well, one thing I'm so glad to know is that babies, will cut one set of baby teeth. Brenlee cut her first tooth yesterday and Cadence cut hers today. This explains why they've not been sleeping well and been fussy more throughout the day! The continuous drool, the hand chewing, refusal to eat.....yep, needless to say, we all knew this day was coming soon! I know it's just the beginning of this right of passage and we still have quite a ways to go! One of our favorite past times these days include sucking and chewing on a frozen teething ring to beat the heat and numb those gums!
Another activity that we've been doing to stay cool is swim! Yesterday we went to Nana and Merlin's house to enjoy their company and their pool! Brenlee absolutely, hands-down loves the water! Cadence seems to like the serenity that comes with flowing water and nature!
The twins have come to LOVE Becca. Becca was one of my students for two years. She is one of the many reasons that I looped from 3rd to 4th grade a few years ago. She's great with the girls and they always enjoy her! As, do I, since she will never let a bottle be dirty as long as she's in my house!
Just look at that smirk on Brenlee's face! What a joy it is to see these girls embrace the world! Thanks, Melany, for taking some great pictures! 
Nanechka, one of our best friends is also in love with Brenlee and Cadence. We don't get to visit Nana and Merlin near enough. This is their pool and they're always so welcoming and take care of us when we are visiting! Can't you just see the exciting exuberating from Brenlee? |

After a nice nap in the hammock, it was time to eat. After they ate their sweet potato and avocado that I made, they got to much on some watermelon! They always get after that---must get that from their Lolli!
Tammy, (Becca's mom, my friend, a fellow teacher)
gave CadenceBugg some melon. Nom Nom Nom!
After a ride home while eating, the girls took a good long nap to rest up for Marty and Alex to come visit! Oh, and Grandad and Nanny Paula bought us new carseats, that the girls LOVE! Thank you guys SOOO much!

After a LONG, funfilled day, Brenlee and Cadence were asleep by 6:30 and didn't wake til 3:30 for a quick feed and diaper change. Back to sleep by 3:45 to wake up at 6:30am. There is nothing like a good night's rest!
Question for you: How do you preserve good sleeping habits while on the go?
