today was a big day in our house!! vincenzo took his first 3 steps!!! yeah cenzo! and frank and i were actually both home to witness it....it was so cute and cenzo was so proud of himself! after he landed on his butt we all started clapping for him and then he and matteo were clapping for him too! my little boys are starting to grow up so fast - they have been blowing kisses and waving so well lately, when we feed cenzo he says "ah-yummm" as the spoon is going into his mouth. matteo has a new tooth on the bottom (the first thing he has ever done before cenzo other than be born!) they have been crawling over to hug and kiss us and each other lately. they are just amazing! i love them so much and i am amazed everyday at the bond the two of them share...
we also finally got answers wednesday as to why the babies have had such horrible diaper rash the last two weeks... when frank took them to the doctor he asked about it and the doctor wondered if we had recently started using different diapers....and we had. the twins got a package of target diapers for their birthday (we only ever use huggies or pampers) and the diapers apparently caused the terrible breakout that we had unsuccessfully been trying to treat. so we have since stopped using the diapers, we have been treating it with hydrocortizone several times a day, and just two days later they already look so much better! my poor boys...
so as nice as the idea of using less expensive diapers may seem, they unfortunately dont work well for my boys - so until they are wearing undies i guess huggies and pampers will always be the choice around here!
(note to other moms - if you have never tried target diapers, you may want to avoid them, i have since heard from several other moms this week that they have had the same experience after trying those diapers! weird i know, but really not worth it!) they also arent very absorbant, in comparison, so i guess for me its just worth the few extra cents per diaper... but anyway
its been a long week, and its not over yet - im heading to bed very early tonight so that maybe tomorrow i will have enough energy to finish my christmas letter!

YEAH Cenz!!!
and what a blessing that you and frank could both be there! :D
I have tried Target diapers, too, only to find they are not very absorbant! Silas had diaper rash really bad when he was teething. It blistered! I used triple paste, which is somewhat medicated. Expensive - like $9/tube, but it worked better than the other kinds off the shelf. I guess you could say it's "top shelf" stuff? :) Sounds like you guys are having an exciting winter! I STILL haven't found a stroller!
