To the Batcave, Aiden!

When Gavin and Aiden are not eating, sleeping, or pooping, they have very busy lives preparing to be superheros. The first part of their training centers around the "caves" that they sleep in (very similar to the Batcave). Their incubators are covered in blankets to simulate the womb. Although it makes them less visible, they both seem to enjoy their dark, warm, little caves. It should also be noted that the boys' Batcaves are equipped with wheels. This came in handy when they had to be moved out of their rooms during a tornado warning on Saturday. The boys, of course, slept through the whole ordeal.

Aiden and Gavin are working on honing their superpowers while in their caves. From the sounds I hear from his cave, Aiden seems to be working on some kind of animal inspired superhero. He appears to derive his power from hiccuping, which allows him to emit a high pitched noise that sounds very similar to either a frog or a whimpering puppy. If anyone can come up with a fierce superhero name linked to a frog or whimpering puppy please let me know because right now I am at a total loss. Aiden, pictured to the left, in his Batcave before his fashion epiphany.


While Gavin also uses the power of hiccups, his skills cannot compare to his brother. Gavin uses his time in the Batcave to work out, usually done simultaneously with sleeping, a difficult feat already. His workouts are characterized by lots of stretching and yawning paired with some pilates and jujitsu. Above, Gavin relaxes after an intense training session and dreams of keeping the streets of the QC safe for all babies.

Once they pair their skills, Aiden and Gavin will clearly be unstoppable.

So, I checked out a couple of superhero name generators and the best ones were "Winged Slayer" for Aiden and "Lord Surge" for Gavin. Love your blogs lady!!

Sarah! They are adorable! I was SHOCKED to get the email from Ian saying they were already born... way to skip the whole last 2 hell months! I'm so glad the boys are doing fine and looking so good. Your uterus must be a microwave!

How about the fearsome Toadman? PowerPout Puppy? No? Well, he can't be Philbert Frog; that's already taken. I know that was going to be your first choice. Thank you Google and Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philbert_Frog
