2 months

The girls were 2 months on the 15th. I was only 2 days late taking the picture and now 2 more days late to post. I have accepted this is my new life for now, being late. I'm told, it will get better ; )

Here they are:

Addy

aka Spitter Bug, peanut

9.3 pounds

22 1/2 inches

Molly

aka Molly Dolly, piggy girl

10 pounds

22 inches

I never would have guessed that Addy was longer. She is always curled up, so I guess it is hard to tell. They are growing fast and time is flying. My maternity leave is officially over, now it is just Christmas Break!!

Bloomin' Artist

Connor has not been neglected these past 8 weeks...he has been very busy. He loves his sisters dearly and is a huge helper during the day. He has been pretty stuck to his dad when he is home, which is great for all parties involved!

Before the girls were born he and daddy did leaf rubbings one night. I'm not sure what happened to his pants here!

More recently, he went with my parents to kids Christmas party that my dads work was holding. He came home with all sorts of goodies, but the car he decorated was by far my favorite. I can't believe the little boy that he has turned into!!

Sisterly Love

Eight months ago, I couldn't imagine what life would be like with 2 babies. Now I can't remember what it was like to have just 1 baby. They sleep best snuggled together, on the couch, and during the day ; ) I'm glad they will always have each other!!

Spit.

Connor was never a spitter. In fact, I don't think I ever put a bib on him until he started eating cereal. I always wondered why people gave so many bibs, I had a huge stack that never got used.

Until now.

Both girls are spitters. It constantly rolls out, flies out and gets squeezed out. It doesn't matter the angle they eat at or how much I burp them. It is so annoying, especially after having a baby that didn't spit at all! I am thankful for all the bibs we had from Connor and all of the new ones we've gotten. We through 6-10 bibs some days! Here's to two darling bibs that I don't want them to spit on!! Thanks so much to Jen, we love these bibs!!!

Sunday Outing

We attended church for the first time today since the girls were born. They slept right through and never got out of their car seats (if only they'd sleep that well at night!). When we got home, I thought I'd better get a picture of them in their cute dresses (that are already getting to small) and too big tights. They didn't really want their pictures taken at the time!! Couldn't be because they were hungry!!

The First Month

Most of you know, the twins were born last month!! It has been a busy month!

Here they are the day they were born:

Addy Marie Molly Elizabeth

5 pounds 11 oz. 6 pounds 6 oz.

19 1/2 inces 20 1/2 inches

They are amazing. They are beautiful. They are so sweet. They have changed our lives forever. Each day is a new challenge, but all very worth it. I hate to rush them being little, but I am so anxious to see them grow together as they grow up.

The hardest thing since they came home is the lack of sleep. We knew it would be hard, but no one can prepare you for the sleepless nights. I tell myself every night "this too shall pass". On that note, Addy went 6 hours last night. Many of you know the panic I had when I realized it! Molly on the other hand was up about every 2!

Here they are today, one month old! I stole the monthly photo shoot idea from Jen, I hope she doesn't mind (she has all sorts of good ideas!).

Addy

Molly
I hope to post more often, I know I'll look back and wonder where the time (and my tiny babies) went...no promises though. Nothing like a toddler and one month olds ruling my life!!

Have a great week!!

Too cute!

I had to share these cute onesies that we got as a gift for the girls! What fun it is to have creative (and thoughtful!) friends ; )

Here is one for when they may not be getting along so well!!

Thanks Gwen!! We can't wait to take pictures of them modeling them!!
